Why is it that people assume because i don't have the WS6 version of the TA my car is slow and a POS? Granted it is an auto but i have added a few goodiesa to it such as 3.73's shift kit, Lid, SSRA LCA's aod SFC's with a Random Tech Exhaust waiting to be installed.

Does anyone have any numbers comparing a stock TA/Z28 to WS6/SS model? With my mods is it quick enough to beat an 05 manual GT? Any suggestions on what to do next?

WTF do you even care. If peoples opinions bother you so much buy a different car.

ALL LS1 Fbody's produce about the same bhp and run similar times +-

WS6 was originally a "handling package" available in the 70's for TA and Formula. 4th gens where marketed as a seperate model, but inreality minor suspension mods and a few cosmetic changes where the only differences.

Hell with my Z28 I use it to my advantage to get money out of stupid kids. They assume, wrongly, that my Z28 is not near as fast as an SS, therefore their integra is faster than my Z28. Because, "I only lost once to a Camaro and it was an ss," so I talk them into racing it for a c note, take their money and walk away.
and BTW, don't knock the auto, a good stall can make her really haul ***

I hear what you guys are saying but it just pisses me off to hear all of the trash talk and no one will line up with me. I plan on keeping he with the sleeper look and not to loud on the exhaust note either. I already made a few M3 owners feel like ****.

hey bro, I wouldnt worry what some idiots say. Hey if they feel that your sleek beak is a peice of ****...agree with them get them into a false sense of security, race them and make them look like dumb *****. Hell, sometimes when people ask me about my "firebird" I tell them its just a v6 and the gas mileage is pretty good!

Yah i feel your pain man, I have an '01 Formula and everyone thinks its a V-6 and when I tell em its a V-8 they still think its slow b/c its not a "Trans Am"....but like everyone is telling you, use it to your advantage..

Not even an intake, just the hood and raised lower air box. Plus a slightly better flowing muffler (2.5" outlets vs 2.25"). Those are the only differences that will effect power.

Truth is, those things are not really enough to make a WS6 any faster than a regular TA. It would be a driver's race, plain and simple.

Just get a hood. A plain-jane TA looks unintimidating IMO, but any one of the aftermarket hoods will easily spruce up your car.

Bet you people will think your car is fast after that, if they're really that ignorant.

I get the same crap with my Z28, but then after people talk crap no one wants to go

I think they know your cars got *****, but there just jealous of you and want to make you feel like ****

I thought the base model T/A's had better gears? 3.23's vs 2.73's. Or am I wrong?

I know what you mean. don't feel bad, but my situation is worst, ****** damnass's usually tell me my car was originally v6 and change it to V8 to make it look like z28 and put ls1 to look like an SS and when i installed my 35th aniversary stipe/flag decal they said i want my car to look like a viper .

i guarantee...your car will easily clown on a stock GT.. no doubt about it

I'm waiting to tear off into someone's @ss! There are a few nice cars around here like a 350 Z, 05 GT, 03 WRX, 06 M3, and plenty of cocky european rich guys with Vette's, Porche Cayman's and a few NSX's. All i need is one to make a mockery of!
