WS9 in terms of the 4th gen is another made up name.
WS9 Means Formula conversion on firebirds.

Default ws7 is real

A ws7 technically is real in 4th gen f-body's. Back in 98 when gm went on strike local dealers wanted ws6 TA. And since they couldnt get them one dealership took it upon themselves McNamro Pontiac in Orlando, and Made theyre OWN "WS6". Since they Couldnt use the Name WS6 because of copyright laws . They Sent a set # of TA's to SSC. And Made it A DEALER OPTION. not a GM Option. SO THE WS7 IS REAL. Stop calling it Fake. The Set # of real ws7's even have ws7 on the title.

Very true!!! I read an artical about this one time and I have no idea where to find it! A guy selling his WS7 sent me the info about it! Very rare package, but I do not know if it has added value being a WS7!

WS7 was a special package offered during the GM strike of 1998 or something to help sell them. Basically a WS6 with a K&N Filter.

WS9 was what Formula owners called their birds with Ws6 Hood, Wing, and wheels.

All the V8 cars carry the WS9 Code, To be a Formula or Trans Am it must have the coresponding code aswell.
WS9 + W66 = Formula
WS9 + Y82 = Trans Am
WS9 + W66 + WS6 = Formula WS6
WS9 + Y82 + WS6 = Trans Am WS6
Truth here!!!

Ive never heard of this "real WS7" car but I think people putting a "WS7" badge on a car just cause they got a ram air hood is just stupid.

WS9 was simply the code stating it had a V8 on the RPO code sheet

Usually WS7 means modified to WS6 spec or greater, not just hood but exhaust and suspension as well.
