Just did my first mod on the new WS6, Granted its nothing big but I think it really sets off the pewter color on the car. I just put on the "Ram Air" black hood stripes. Pictures on the way

Hey OP-- Just a hunch, but do you work for Publix Supermarkets? I used to work for Publix and know a bunch of others who work at them lol.
Very clean ride, I am in the same boat as my 2002 Formula is bone stock.
Good luck with everything, I'm learning as I go as well.

From the engine pic you can see there is no EGR hose running into the intake manifold, so its an LS6 intake meaning the car is an 01-02 (pre 01 cars got the LS1 intake manifold). - this is of course assuming everything is truly original.
The car should be an early '01 judging by the wheels, the later 01's-02's got the thicker WS6 wheels.

Hey congrats on the car, it looks insane & that is my favorite color on them!!
I have a '96 WS6 with 41k miles and people are right when they tell you it will be worth more stock and everything, but I would simply recommend that whatever you do make sure it can go back to stock, keep all of the parts you replace, etc. The best modifications I did to my car so far would be a Hurst shifter, 3.73 gears, and a GMMG cat back. Being friends with many f-body owners I can tell you that, at least in my opinion, the GMMG system is the best sounding exhaust I have heard, which is why I went with that one.
PS: When you order new wheels I'll buy those off of you if you want.

Congrats, great looking car by the way.
Sounds like there may still be a few low mileage cars out there, I just grabbed an 02' WS6 Vert myself last week with 25k and it is also bone stock. I will make sure to keep all my stock parts but I think this is the last one I will be buying.
