silver WS6 codes?
silver WS6 codes? I just recently purchased a 02'WS6 T/A but can anybody tell certain codes I need to look for? like this car is supposedly a rare silver,is this true whats the code to look for? also whats the code for the rearend gear ratio? and lastly what is the HP # from the factory on this car? although it already has a flomaster muffler and TS lid on it already! 
codes are on the decal that should be on the end of the driver's door when you open it.
WS6 = WS6 (better hope that one is there! If not, it is a fake)
Silver isn't that rare. Paint code 13U
If the car is a six-speed, it has a 3.42 gear in it. All of them do. If it is an automatic, it most likely has the 3.23 gear in it.
3.42 = GU6
3.23 = GU5
2.73 = GU2
WS6 = WS6 (better hope that one is there! If not, it is a fake)

GU5 = aluminum driveshaft
If the car is a WS6, it's aluminum.
