Listen, go back to the dealer, tell them you would like to take the car for another drive, and then take it to a Performance shop(If there is one locally). Have them hook her up and find out what is going on with the SES light.
I think that is some kinda law, you can take it to a mechanic of your choice to have them look it over before you buy it......

The 03-04 Cobra would be the only car I would trade my 2000 WS6 in for.....or maybe an 09 camaro....Good luck with it, and hope that you dont get a lemon.

Keep us posted.

Speedyws6, I have a 2000 black WS6 TA. Gregg, I have been busy with the family soo not much time to go out. Hey, If you get the Cobra, I know some one that will want to race you, a 2006 GTO. That guy is always wanting to race someone. He is not super fast but it will be good race. I also know a guy with a cobra that will be willing to race. See you around.

Does it have elite wheels on it? Mine is the loud black TA running around on slicks and skinnies.

Greg if you want to race, I'll get Steven to bring out that blown GTO that I put the cam in, it's time that I sit back and watch you all get harrassed by LPD.

No, I have the 17's that came with all WS6's. I've seen your car around, well, getting pulled over by LPD, LOL. Your car sounds mean and loud as hell. Is it faster now, I see that you have 11.55 w/100 on your sig?

Well that sucks that the dealer is messing with you.....If your credit is mid 600's, and your insurance isnt going to be traumatic, then there shouldnt be a problem....Unless they dont want your car as a trade......Best of luck.

Well ****, I hope you get it figured out.

Yeah Abe it's faster now, it ran faster than that on the motor last time out.

The gto put down 450 in the heat of summer, he had a few other things he needed to fix to get more power out of it too.
