yes they do.
as for SS vs. WS6. i'd say neither. go with a z28 or a formula since theyre around 200lbs lighter and if you mod, you will replace the exhaust which is the only slightly significant difference(in terms of performance) between the 2.

How do z28's/formulas wiegh 200 pounds less than SS/WS/6's?

Do the bigger wing and leather really add 200 pounds?

So you're saying the fiberglass/plastic groundeffects weigh 200lbs? Well, the WS6 hood weighs less than the steel Firebird hood, but the Firebird spoiler weighs less than the WS6 wing. So I think 200lbs is a bit much. If there's more to it than that please tell me, I'm curious.

I don't think the Formulas came with the adjustable lumbar and side bolsters. So if you got a Formula with cloth seats you could save some weight.
