Default Not a WS6= Junk?

What the heck is it with people asking me if my car is a WS6 all the time? And when I say no they loose all interest in the car. Like its some POS all of a sudden. Ugh its so frustrating.... sorry, I just needed to vent a little....

If they don't know by looking at your car that it's not a WS6
then tell them that is a WS6 and then you will feel better that they like your car.

J/K...who cares what those other people think. half the people who drive sports cars
like Vettes and Fbdys don't even take them over 60 mph or drive them to 50% off their capabilities. At that point what does it really evenb matter what's under the hood.

Go to a car show that is mostly older muscle cars and you'll feel like the red headed step child there too. People will drool all over a 1st gen with an almost stock 350, while they won't even look at a well built 4th gen.

that used to happen all the time with my old t/a... they assumed it was a ws6 because i had a raptor hood and they probably didn't know the difference either but if i said it wasn't a ws6 they were like, "ohhhh"... those people have no idea that it has the same drivetrain and the main differences are cosmetic... but seriously who gives a f**k what they think anyway, you're the one who owns it at the end of the day... most likely they are just jealous

Been like that since 1998, No Ram Air, no care. You can blame the commercial of it eating another car.

I get the same exact thing with my 86 Ttype, oh it's not a grand national, too bad those were fast. DUMBASSES. My ttype is actually lighter with the same drivetrain.

Wait...your car isn't a WS6? Oh, you gotta GTFO then pal.














Seriously, from a TA to a WS6 you may have a few suspension upgrades, a bumper (in the LT1 case), a hood, and 15HP. Tell them all to **** off.

If its not a ws6 or a real ws6 i dont want it. Its not worth as much and wont be worth as much in the long run. I also like the look better. Camaro i will only buy a ss and thats it unless it is a older camaro byt 4th gen hawk, ws6, ceta, ss nothing else.
