like it says give your .02 on the SS compared to the WS6

 

 

This topic has been beat to death. Did you try the search button???

 

the SS is sleeker, the ws6 is meaner..... performance is the same


BTW- maybe a mod should lock this and make it a sticky

 

yes i tried searching wont let me search for ss because it has to be a 3 letter word or more

 

The looks is mostly opinion.

Since Ive had both an ls1 ss and ws6, I'll tell you about what I liked and didn't.

The things better about the ws6 is it comes with power antenna, round attractive AC vents, WAY better seats with lumbar and a side squeezing function, and the hood can actual ram air while the SS hood can never really be.

A lot of people say they dont like the looks of the newer ws6s - that they look too slutty. I think red91tsiawd just had a good way of putting it: "the SS is sleeker, the ws6 is meaner" The SS looks more distinguished, and the ws6 looks like something that will hand you your ***.

The rims are better on the newer SS. The ws6 rims say "abs" on the center cap, what kinda **** is that?

Oh, my ws6 also came with an equalizer ... not sure if that is standard or not.

After someone totaled my SS, I replaced it with a ws6, so its obvious which I prefer.

 

is there a weight difference or is it all just cosmetic differences

 

Weight difference is negligible at best. If you are worried about weight get a stripper Z28 or formula. The seats are better in the trans-am as mentioned above. I like the whole red glow of the pontiac guage cluster better too. Personal preference.

 

I havent seen actual numbers, but the ws6 has to be heavier (though not by much) . By the way, popular mechanics did an article a couple years ago on the 13 fastest production cars, and the firebird was a couple cars quicker than the camaro. The article said it was funny, being as how they are practicly twins ... but said the design was just a tad better for the firebird.

 

thanxs kinyu

i think ill prolly go with a ws6 i would like 30th anniv. (dreams)
if not ill just get a ws6 and make it a 30th clone

 

30th anniversary eh? I never was a fan of making muscle cars funky colors. To me, nothing on the road looks meaner than a red or black ws6 ... but despite color preference ... its a bad motha chuckin car and you're making a good choice. Good luck in the search, it took me a while to find mine after the SS died.

 

nah, the 30th addition one is SWEET but not worth 24,995 that i saw it at when i was looking at mine which is a year newer and was 4k less.

 

Just saying it isnt my preference, but I would not rip on anyone for getting one. Color is just a preference thing and everyone has difference preferences.

 

yeah kinda pricy thats why ill prolly just get a white ws6 and clone
it to a 30th might cost as much in the long run but atleast dont have to do it all at once

 

Might want to try some other search words.

Found 4 threads for you and I'm sure there are more.

My 2 cents? Both are nice. Wouldn't mind owning either one, but I'm still happy with my Z28.
