You know the C-5 owners were mad in 2002 because a 2002 T/A WS-6 would blow the doors off all the C-5's except for the Z06. for 12000 less $$

T/A stands for trans-am (v-8 version in general) ... WS-6 is the Ram air performance package. In the camaros case WU8 is the SS ram air package. My uncle has a 99 Ram air formula he got from carl black (performance pontiac dealer that makes the black hawk).... that car was sweeeeeeeeeet. Rare cars indeed. Have you guys seen the 98-02 Berger camaros or the 2002 ZL1 that they released ! The 02 ZL1 has 600 some odd horspower :eek: STOCK ! unfortunately 69 were made... one is for sale on collectorcartrader for $130,000 :nonod:

For somone who doesn't know what a WS6 is you sure are quick to judge and hate these cars and label them as POS. ( I meant that in a lighthearted way) :rofl:

I was quoting someone else. Asking what this car was, I gave no opinion of it. :confused:

Appears to be a cranky group. Did someone miss their nap? :skep:

But.... now that you all brought it up the worst car GM ever made was the '74 Vette. And to be exact.... convertible.... and red.... and tan interior.... & VIN#19374S11398.

Wait a minute? That's mine! :D

'86 Ford F-150's with the straight 300-6 rule!

The WS6 T/As are the heaviest of the F-body family.. they weigh in around (ballpark here) 3500lbs. I know my Z-28 Convertable (verts are slightly heavier) weighed in at 3550 with about 3/4's a tank of gas and without me in it. Vettes are closer to 3200, if Im not mistaken.

I had a '99 Z/28, Red with White interior, 6 speed, T-Tops, loaded with every option.
I picked it up in 2000, brand new, for a song.
I'll just say this: What an absolute blast to drive! The most Bang For The Buck - 300+ horses from the factory for a bit over $20K.

The car is gone - a victim of fatherhood.
I took some digital pics of her the day I traded it in. I will show them to my daughter when she gets older and tell her that this will be the first car she will own. I figure that she replaced the car, and the least she can do is let her daddy live a little through her.

BTW: Yes, it's cheaply made and rough around the edges, but you get what you pay for. Ever drive in a Mustang? Same deal. I never had a single problem with mine. Same with all the Chevy's I've owned over the years. The Audi that it replaced has been in the shop several times already.
I do not live in a trailer and would never wear a mullet, although I think they are funny to see on other people. :lol:
