Default Getting a Ws.6

this week i'll be purchasing my first ls1. i've been looking for awhile and coincidentally my friend decided to sell hers.

it's an 02 ws6, black, ttops, 6speed, slp loudmouth, 13k miles. she's taken great care of it, only synth oil, and has barely driven it.

i've had 2 other f-bodies before, an 82 transam with the knight rider exterior conversion and a 97 v6 firebird.

i'll be sure to post pics when i get them

You're off to a great start --- only you can decide whether or not to mod it so much that it can no longer be a reliable daily driver, prefering instead to spend it's time in a garage having broken parts replaced after a 10 second run...

Too bad you still don't have the 82. Knight Rider and a LS1 is the way to go. Good luck with the WS6. Happy modding!

well i got the car yesterday. i will get pics hopefully tomorrow.

it has some small problems however. there is a small 2" crack down at the bottom of the driver's side front fender, and the passenger front seat doesnt seem to wanna move back or fourth. and the paint on the calipers is peeling, so i will have to re-do them.

so far i am in love, especially with the 6speed and the exhaust

Those are very minor things that can easily be fixed. 13K miles, wow. Have fun and Happy Modding
