Insurance rates with SS and WS6s
Just out of curiosity, how much do insurance usually increase with going from a Z28 to a SS or similarly a regular T/A to a WS6? A fair amount or barely any difference?

There really shouldn't be a difference. What I really thought was interesting was that it was cheaper to insure my Z06 than my 99 z/28 that I had earlier this year. A newer car and a lot less miles for less money to insure. I do believe insurance sees the SS and WS6 as an option package which shouldn't do much if anything to insurance rates.

Insurance is pretty much the same between a Z28 and an SS. And yes Chrispy, insurance for a Z06 is cheaper than an an F-body. I was going to buy an 2001 Z06 before I bought my SS and the insurance was a good amount cheaper.

Z28 and SS are the same as WS6/Firehawk/Trans Am/Formula etc.
Mine was $120/mo btw. (before i turned 25, don't know what it is now LOL) And that was the same rate for my Z28 as my SS. Insurance just transfered over when i bought my SS.

For me 38 years old and no tickets in this state, a Corvette would be cheaper by about 300 dollars a year to insure. They really got me good with the questions. Is a Trans Am? yes. Is it a WS6? yes. Is it a convertible? yes. You could see the dollar signs in thier eyes. O-well if you wanna play you gotta pay.

It will be a small difference Depending on what type of insurance. With full coverage then yes because of the hoods. They are more expensive then the regular. And other parts like the suspension and rims. If you get into an accident.

When I bought my 95 Cobra I paid $70 a month full coverage...I asked why it was so cheap compared to a GT (Over $100 a month) And that is the reason my insurance company gave me.

I just pay $800 every 6 months for full coverage on my 00 WS6 (I'm 23). Now its going up since my 2 pt ticket from last year finally found its way to my insurance company meh.

Since I'm in college still I'm able to be on my mother's insurance and it is outrageously cheap. With me as the primary driver but the insurance in her name it is ~$360 every 6 months. I'm 22 and never had any accidents and have gotten supervision on each of my tickets so they didn't go on record.
