0-60 mph Trans Am vs WS6 Any difference? I have a 2002 Trans Am (WS9 whatever the hell that is). Just wondering if there was a major difference in performance between the T/A & WS6? I have ran against a couple of SS's and a Firehawk and haven't lost yet. Weren't they supposed to be faster? All were stock just like mine though.
I forgot to turn the TCS off before I did this so it could have been a little quicker I believe. You can see the lag at the beginning.

The main thing will come down to the driver. My bone stock T/A back in '98 beat a WS6 T/A with exhaust and not sure what else. We both spun a little from a dig but I ended up pulling him by a nose. Both m6 cars. Some are just faster than others for some reason.

I am going to start a firestorm but having owned 19 2002s (6 LS6 blocked cars and 13 LS1 blocked) I can tell you for a FACT that a bone stock LS6 car is faster than a bone a bone stock LS1 car hands down. I dont care what anybody says you have indenticle stock 02s...two with LS1 blocks and one with a LS6 I would bet the title I can tell you which one it is from driving them. Like I said I know there will be doubters but I doubt anybody has had the experience with them I have had.
I am betting that if the OPs car ran a 13.00 stock its a LS6 blocked car. They are the factory freaks people talk about.

I'm not disputing the LS6 block might have an edge on an equivalent LS1 block, but I seriously doubt the difference is enough to overcome the many other variations over the years & between otherwise identical cars. And certainly, the "factory freaks" were not limited to LS6 blocked cars.

My LS1 block '01 flat hood T/A ran 12.97 @ 108 with only OEM Firehawk wheels and Nitto 555RII tires on all 4 corners as modifications from OEM. Otherwise the only other thing changed was the oil. It still had paper air filter and all.

I weigh in at over 300lbs. and my completely stock CETA has been the victor in a few battles I should have lost. It could have been driver ability, but I like to think mine was one of a few TA's that left the factory a little over-juiced.

I second this opinion.
