Default Where was my car built?

This may be a stupid question, but where was my car built? Were all WS6's built in the same plant?

All of them were built in Canada, then if WS6 went to ASC and if SS to SLP.

Edit: 98-02 anyway.

All 4th-gen f-bodies were built at the St. Therese plant in Canada. SLP had been providing Firehawk conversions since '91 on Firebirds, and continued to do so through 2002 (although only 8 or so prototypes saw light of day in '98). SLP was also sub-contracted by GM to provide the SS and WS6 conversions in '96 and '97. In '98-'02, ASC was given the WS6 sub-contract, while the SS sub-contract remained w/ SLP.

The actual facility where the cars were converted to WS6's was about 20 minutes away from the Ste. Therese plant.
