Yes it does. Usually when people want one badly enough as you seem to they get a WS6 right off the bat, or never do. They do look mean as hell.

I got a great deal on my Z28. What I really wanted was a black or NBM WS6. Now i fall into the "never will" category b/c it's not worth it to me once I already had an LS1 and I really couldn't pass up the deal I got.

But, little do they really know that the factory ratings mean essentially nothing and that 10hp difference usually isn't there.

I just bought a used WS6 replica hood that was already painted the color of my TA (NBM). Picked it up for $500.... not bad in my opinion.

And if you're lucky, you go out driving something you love...

Another thing you get with the WS6 is the RPO code... That was worth it for me.

A cat back is an exhaust replacement from the catalytic conveters back to the tailpipes, hence the term "cat back"
It adds some power by reducing the restriction on the exhaust gas flow

If you plan to do modding to your car, just get the TA and get a WS6 hood, slap a WS7 badge on the car after you are done modding and call it a day. People see WS6's, but when they see a Ws7, they wonder what the hell it is


There is one guy on SRTforums 00blackSS4, he was ripping on some guy because he owns a Z28 and not an SS saying stuff like "What, couldn't afford the SS, so you had to get the Z" or "an SS holds its value a z28 doesn't".. stuff like that. If someone ever says that to you if you buy a TA and put the WS6 hood on, punch them in the face. I would.

I've seen 02 WS6's with very low miles go for about 19-20k on ebay...

When I started looking, I decided I wanted a NBM 01-02 WS6... I now own a 99 Black T/A with the WS6 hood. Would I have liked the NBM? Sure, the WS6 was nice, but didn't make it worth the extra money.. and I'm extremely happy with the choice I made... TA's just look sick in black

Get the WS6 if that's what you want, but make sure you get a good deal and don't get raped... you could probably pick one up in really good shape for 15-17k.
