I wanted a ws6, but I got my T/A that already had an after market ws6 hood from sun coast creations on it bc for the price I got it, I really couldn't beat it. The thing I hate hearing the most is or people asking is does it have a 350. Its a damn 346, get it right people. The hood is mainly for looks, it improves performance by less an 1hp if at all.

I recently sold my ram air hood and went back to the base hood until my new hood is done. Way too many WS6s running around here and I was tired of looking like everyone else.
Now the question I get asked most is "didn't that used to be a ram air?"

When I took my "non-ws6" in to the tire store to get the tires rotated, the early twenty's boy that drove it into the bay said. "that sure is a loud v-6". I then said, they don't make a v6 with 5.7 liters, like it says on my right rear bumper.

I had the double whammy when I was in high school 6 years ago. I had an auto T/A, and another kid had an M6 WS6. Well I got no respect and was looked down upon from every kid there. Being the stupid youngster I was I ended up selling it to get an M6 WS6 only to find out now autos win races and M6's impress HS kids. And the older I get the more im leaning towards putting on a stock T/A hood. Dumb kids

Explaining cars to non car people is like playing fetch with a dog that has ADD, you keep throwing out the right answer, but they come back with a dead bird.

Some people are morons and have no automotive intelligence . I was asked actually the other day by a co-worker of mine , if my car was Ram Air. He was like dude you car sounds ******* sweet! Is it a ram air Ws.6? I said no and the dumbass proceeds to ask why i bought a 6 cylinder and cut the exhaust off. I was at a loss of words. I told him it is a Base model Trans am and the exhaust was dumped . Then i asked if he wanted to go for a little ride down the road after work.
The M6 vs. Auto isnt just with the highschool crowd. ive had a couple older gentlemen ask if my car was an M6. I say yes and their response is usually something like " good, Automatics are slow " Then i tell him i have had my doors blown off by a couple auto T/A's and Z's. They just look at me like im a dumbass.
So i guess the moral of my story is " If you own a base Trans Am or a Z28 and it is an automatic, your car is lower on the performance level than whale ****...

Ram Air
I've only been asked the Ram Air question a couple of times. I can now answer yes after installing a Fast Toys Ram Air kit a couple of months ago. I bought the kit from someone here for $60 and it definately increases air flow. I did added a Texas Rumbler exhaust and I don't think I'll be asked the question again, assuming the engine is running...

My car just throws everyone off, everyone driving behind it thinks its a 6 even though its got the ws6 badge. I had a guy ask me why i put the hood and the badges on a 6 banger! I was like dude its a ws6 formula!
