210,000 miles+ on my 98 T/A (non-WS6) and going strong. Never dyno'd but I am pretty happy with it. That is a fine price for a stock 98 TA, yours looks like it may be a WS6 with a Mecham hood. I rate this one a BUY!

Little OT but is it just the TA that gets door cracks? Because my 98 camaro doesn't have any.

take the door panels off and take the staples out of them with some pliers then sand them and clean it off then use some epoxy to glue them back together then get some metal wire and put it threw the staple holes and tighten it up then flip it over and use that stuff u use to fix up leather that torn mix the colors tell it match's the car and put it over the crack
ull never be able to tell it was broken

The car is not a ws6, I checked the rpo codes on the door. The previous owner put ws6 wheels and the mecham hood on it. I'm talking to the guy tomorrow to finish the deal, and also get insurance figured out. Looks like this is a go ahead!

a good catback can really let loose some performance over a stocker type setup, that combined with the maf and a tuneup and you'll have that car flying.

Spec's are chattery compared to stock, if you can live with it, don't worry about it.
