Not much, really. Hood, wheels, tires, lower air box, muffler (smaller case size) and tail pipes (2.75" vs. 2.25"), front sway bar (32mm vs. 30mm), badging, and required 3.23 rear for A4 equipped models.

I own both and my WS6 comes with 3.23 gears stock and the 02 trans comes with 2.73, and the 02 trans has 241 heads instead of 243 like my WS6 and of course the tire size and suspension but I want to know we everything so I can swap it all out I have already got springs shocks upper control arms lower control arms panhard bar 3.73 gears and changed out the computer but I also noticed the heads are 241 so looks like I'll be changing those as well but what about the intake and injectors and everything else what else is different lol

3.23s were also an option on the base Trans Am, this is not specific to the WS6 cars at all. The only difference is, GU5 (3.23) was a required option when ordering the WS6 package with MX0 (A4 trans). 3.23 was an available option for your A4 '02 base V8 car, though 2.73 was the standard equipment with an auto.

Then your WS6 does not have stock heads. No F-body, not a WS6/Firehawk/SS or any other factory trim level, came with 243 heads stock. Every single 2002 V8 F-body came off the assembly line with 241 heads, so if you now have 243s then somebody changed them.

Everything else is already listed above in my earlier post. The WS6 package doesn't contain any sort of different intake manifold or injectors or anything else such as this. Having said that, it appears that someone has already done significant engine work to your WS6 as it has non-original heads, so it's possible that it could have several other upgraded aftermarket items as well.

But if the conversation is in regards to the stock/original differences, then here is the list once again:

I have that 3.23 option in my Trans Am with the aluminum driveshaft.
