hey noob^^^

the Z06 is more than just appearance... as is ws.6.

gm refers to ws6 as a "performance package" on the 4th gen cars and a "suspension package" on the 3rd gens.

i think you realize what makes a Z06. so we'll leave that alone.

its an alphanumeric RPO that means different things on different vehicles.
Exactly! The WS6 RPO is generally a suspension upgrade and doesn't necessarily mean "Ram Air", which was originally an option on the '65 GTO.

Just for the record

The Hurst was a seperate option. ( not included with the WS6 package. )

The RPO code for the Hurst shifter is " BBS "

Even limiting that to gen 4 f-bodies, it's not true. I just did a quick search on Autotrader and found 93 of them.

WS6 is an RPO code for available package option. as per the 2001 brochure. WS6 Performance and Handling Package Includes Ram Air Induction System, Specifically tuned suspension; dual outlet polished exhaust; power steering cooler and specific 17" aluminum high-polished wheels and P275/40ZR17 speed-rated tires. (limited exterior color availability).

hope this helps some....

You do know the Z06 has different H/C/I than an LS1 'Vette, right? 60-70rwhp is quite the difference more than just appearance lol

Are you sure, ive seen one for sale before here in town, but it might not have been a real Ws6.
