I really would, but I couldnt live life knowing it isnt a real WS6, and its an auto. Tradin up soon, just gotta find the right one, theres a really clean one close for 9k with 150k miles. Thats alot of miles though:/

The only difference between an LS1 WS6 and a standard LS1 Trans Am is the hood, wheels, and a larger (32mm) front swaybar, raised airbox, and supposedly a little better flowing muffler.
Its really nothing special, most of the stuff you replace with better things anyway.
Just look for a clean lower mileage trans am or formula with a M6 and get it and mod from there.

I won't lie. Having 2 extra gears is nice. Especially with 4.10 gears

they make M6 trans ams too theres ws6s that are autos.

as far as hoods go since I got to repaint my ws-6 hood I figured I would make a mold of it and sell OEM style ws-6 hoods on here for alot cheeper than others go for.

Im also ganna try to talk someone into letting me make a mold of the superhawk hood to possible sell those im tired of seeing people selling those hoods for 1500 bucks and oem ws6 ones for 900 cause of the RARITY,

i dont have a stall but i have saw a 02 ws6 a4 vs. 02 ws6 m6 with the same mods. when i say same i mean same color and same exact parts but the a4 had a 3600 yank stall and a transgo shift kit. the guy owns both his and his son. his son has the a4 running 11.5. and he is running a 12.1. i think he shots of at 4000 rpms. this is on the quarter mile btw.
