Default Newbie over here!

Hey everyone..

I stumbled across this site while researching the LS1 WS6s. My wife and I are in search of a 98-02 WS6, so I'm hoping that this website is an excellent resource for the searching, and also after we get a deal buttoned up!!

I'm a huge Pontiac enthusiast. We currently have 2 Bonnevilles (a 93 and a 99), a 79 T/A, and are looking for a 98-02 WS6.

What an awesome discussion board you guys have created here!!

I have been a member of this sight for just about 2-3 weeks....Lost count....LOL.....
Anyway, since I have been on this sight, I have learned so much about what can be done to the LS1 motor.....My brother(Previous owner of his WS2/Now mine) told me the only thing I could do was ad an K&n air filter to it....Now he is 10years older than I, and not a computer kinda guy so he doesnt know.....But I have read watched and slept this web sight since I found it.....And I come here everynight!!! I work night, and in Iraq.....12 hours shift, 12 hours of LS1tech...LMAO Maybe over kill, but I cannot get enough of the Road kill stories, or the video's.....this place is a God send!!

Oh yeah, Welcome!!

Thanks for all the welcomes guys!

I found some good WS6s for sale here. But after seeing an ad for a Firehawk, I'm torn!!!!!!!!! LOL. Those Hawks are one bad-a$$ machine.

Get an 01 or 02, they are the best. Engines produce better low end Tq.

My wife isn't as crazy about the Firehawks as I am. So, it'll most likely be a WS6 that we get. We definitely want a M6, preferably in a convertible.

What nationwide search tools do you guys use for locating WS6s? I've tried Auto Trader, but the search function isn't specific enough (manual trans., convertible, etc.) unless you open every listing and read the details. Ebay makes me leary for wanting the perfect car (something about buying sight unseen for a major purchase doesn't settle well with me). Any other thoughts?

Anybody know of a M6 convertible WS6 for sale?

Good luck with your search.
