What year car have I got?
Hi,
I would like to know if I have a LS6 intake manifold, and confirm the year of my car.
I see the sticky guide about LS6 intake, but mine is already installed on the car, making comparison difficult.
I always assumed I had the LS6 as I thought I had a 2001 TA (comes as standard on 01 cars), as it said this on the approx date of registration. But reading the door sticker the date 09/00 appears, making me wonder if I have a late 2000 car?
I have the old style (98/00) WS6 wheels ( but that's not unherd of on a 2001 car either ).
I think the vin number may contain the info I need, anyone got any pointers?

Yep, 2001 on the catalyst decal under the hood. Thanks for the pointer.
Na, didn't steal it, I imported it to the UK via a USA dealer.
over here a give away on year is the number plate, but I had to have it re registered, as US plates have to stay in the States. And over here it's numbered up as a 2000 model, and then the door sticker date, and early style wheels got me wondering!
Thanks for the all help.
Now I KNOW I've got a 2001 WS6.

Ive been wondering if my car is a 2002.
The door sticker with the date has come off, is their anywhere else that says the month?
The vin number, cataylist number and my insurance cardsay 2001. but the wheels i had on it said 2002, and the dealership had it listed as a 2002 when i bought it.
any ideas if it could still be a 2002 model?

There are exceptions to every rule. They started making the 2002 in May of 01. They wanted more of the "last year of production" cars. There was also a design change in May of 01 to the wiper style piston rings to reduce oil blow by at higher pressures in all LS1's.

I would check the serial number on the intake if you want to make sure its really a LS6 intake.
01s-02s did come with the ls6 intake stock but you never know if the owner before you took it out or something.
I have a 02 ws6 and when I checked my intake serial number to see if it was a real LS6 intake it turned out it was a older LS1 intake

Well GM VIN # has the info for the exact year. Look at the last eight of the vin. The very first number of the last eight is the year of production. The letter Y is 2000, #1 is 2001 and #2 is 2002. so it may look some thing like 1GTEK29V6(1)1255565 That 1 means that vechile is a 2001
Maybe that will help you if you haven't found it yet.
