yes the suspension is upgraded (bilstein) but not on all of them. that was another option.
there is not a power difference with the hood (unless debaffeled) and/or the air box unless at a very high speed.
his has an ls6 intake so it will have more performance than say a 99

But I I dont think the WS6 has more power than a regular T/A... All LS1s came with 350hp (no matter what they were rated at...) I think the WS6 was only a looks and suspension upgrade

If it has anymore power than the 98-00' than it would be minimal. The 98-00 had bigger cams than the 01-02 which makes up the difference from the ls6 intake.

WS6 stand for wicked slow 6-speed. LOL no really the ws6 was put on car for SLP. Different suspension and performance mods.SlP took a Trans Am put some parts on it and slapped a few badges on it. WS6. In the same sence as SS Camaro is SLP beefed up Z28.

Ummmm, you should probally get your facts straight before making yourself look stupid. Big difference between rated Hp at the motor by manufactures and Hp to the wheels.

Lets see if I can shed some light on the subject.
The ws6 badge goes back to the 3rd gen cars and yes it was a suspension upgrade over the regular firebird.
In the lt1 cars the ws6 badge was also a suspension upgrade and it also was a performance upgrade from the 285 hp rating to 305 hp
In the ls1 cars I don't think it was a suspension upgrade it was an appearance and performance upgrade. The power was upped from 305 hp in the firebird to 320 hp for the ws6 cars.
I don't know about the 3rd gen cars but in the lt1 cars SLP did the performance upgrades such as a different catback, ram air hood, and why they did this I can't understand for the life of me was to port the exhaust manifolds. Just put headers on the damn cars!
For the ls1 cars Gm didn't have SLP do them. GM did the ws6 and ss camaros themselves. Just look at the stock catback on a z28 camaro and an ss camaro. The z28 has the black flat-looking rectangular tips and the ss has the same catback with chrome rolled lip tips. It did have a performance upgrade with the ram air hood. In the 99 and 2000 years it was rated at 315 horse because of the ls1 intake and in 01 and 02 it was rated 320 for the ls6 intake. The cam difference between the 2 was negible due to the intake changes.
I could be wrong about this on but I think in 1998 there were no ws6 or ss camaros. Just like ford had a n/a cobra in 99 but no cobra in 2000-02 and then came with the s/c 03 cobras.

The WS6 was not made by SLP; that was the Firehawk and Z28 SS. WS6 cars were made by ASC and did not have "optional upgrades" like the SS; all ASC WS6 cars came with the full WS6 package.
