Right in signature.

looks better with 4 exhaust tips.

I used to like them, they looked a hell of a lot better than Camaros but now they just seem dated and not in a good way that being said however they still look a hundred times better than the same gen Camaro.

I see it now, didn't show on my phone I like it!

I agree about the 4 exhaust tips, 4 inches looks good.

I will disagree with the dated part though, I think they, like C5's, really have a timeless design.

Here is mine:

mehhhhh, I'm kinda on the fence, timeless, not so much, just all that typical Pontiac plastic body cladding that carries on into the interior. I always preferred Pontiac's interior over their GM counterparts, cooler orange glow over the white or green with Buick, Chev and Olds. I will say this, back in the day the WS6 was pretty badass, more so than the SS and SLP IMO.

2 fat pipes is the way to go, but I may be a tad biased.

I posted this forever ago so the video quality is terrible, but you get the gist with the sound.
Mine's a 2000. Heads, cam, intake, exhaust, headers, all the normal bolt-ons. 393 rwhp last dyno, which was also forever ago. I still get a grin every time I take her out, about once a week or so.

This thread brought back memories as back in 00 I bought a brand new 00 black WS6 Trans Am 6spd manual. I still remember the day my "320 HP" car dynoed 306 RWHP bone stock with 7500 miles during a f-body dyno day. The 4th gen f-bodies fit me like a glove as far as the relationship between the location of the seating, steering wheel and shifter.

I believe the '00 LS1 motor was rated at like 350 to the crank. I don't know of any 2000+ SS's or WS6's that dynoed under 300 to the wheels, unless there was something wrong with them. Hell, some bone stock LS1 F-bodies ("factory freaks") were dipping into 12.9's with a good driver and I think one even went 12.89 IIRC. Not too shabby for a $20-30k vehicle at the time. We absolutely wrecked everything else out on the street, save the crazy exotics or forced induction setups running insane boost.

The good old days.

So it's Obama's fault that you have all those toys and school loan debt?
Who is to blame for your priorities?

I had a 98 until 2014 and the door panels never cracked and I rolled the windows all the way down all the time but I have seen many that did crack. My dash on the other hand, the Texas sun killed that thing sometime around 2007. Fortunately I found a replacement online I had to laugh when I realized the dash is held on mostly with Velcro.

I miss that car but just didn't have the space to keep it inside.

That's fair, it's definitely stuck in the 90's that's for sure!

I like it!

You missed the sarcasm. I worked my *** off through a tough school so I could afford my $700 monthly loan payments, rent and toys. Just living at the parent's currently to tackle some additional loans, loan by loan. I could have chosen a cheaper school, but I paid more for placement ratings and I think it paid off.

Nice! My dash has a weird glossy wear mark, but otherwise it's in good shape. I hope to keep it that way and the sun definitely isn't as harsh in Wisconsin.

Hey, nothing wrong with that, I have a soft spot for 80's and 90's cars.

I was born in 92.. dad got a vette when I was about 10 and I was hooked, then he sold it and got a WS6 just to change it up a bit. He also had a Mustang GT. Never liked that pos, but I was hooked on the Vette and WS6.

Told myself when I got to college that I'd get a WS6 for us both to enjoy, it's mine and now it's time to find him a C5 once I finish that 327 build.

themonk

'92, holy f'k, I was 4 years into the bar scene, 10 notches in the belt, hit the drunk tank once, all before you were a gleam in your dad's eyes.

I'm pretty much done with old school rides, I'll keep my Grand National, maybe my '81 Z28 and '79 Mercedes 450 SL but everything else must go, no more old schit for me, once you go first class you don't wanna hit coach.

Clean! I miss my 02. I should have kept it.
