Cool Introduction: 96BigWS6

Hey guys

Wanted to introduce myself to all the fellow GM guys. Name is Elvis and I'm from NJ. I have a 1996 Pontiac Trans AM WS-6, 6-speed. I have owned the car for a little over a month and I love it. I am new to the GM scene, I have always liked GM vehicles, just never made a move till now. I made the switch from the Honda world, only owned them till now.









My new baby

I wanted a 2002 Black WS6 Trans Am, ended up with a 1999 White Camaro.

They are a lot of fun and easy to make fast.

Love the painted (rather than polished) wheels on the '96 WS6's. Jealous of the wheels. Welcome to the site.

Thanks! I miss my Accord because it was unique, a lot of people copied my look, so I left for something different, I love GM

Most of the time painted wheels are much easier to maintain and look better over time(finish quality I mean, not just personal preference). Often times the clearcoat flakes on the polished wheels, and GM chrome is just outright junk from the 90's-00's.

The painted wheels are much more uncommon to boot, so they're easy for me to appreciate.

Yea sometimes having something that is less flashy is actually more rare, I have cloth seats in stead of leather, they actually produced far less cloth interiors than leather, with the options the car came with, it is 1 out of roughly 190 built
