mccorry Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 It is probably an LS1 V-8..... I don't think they made any WS-6 LT1 cars..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilT Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 LS1. Are you sure the person in that car even put their foot on the gas? Oh yes, we had a nice chat afterwards, he said it was stock, but the quad exhaust tips made me wonder. The look on his face was priceless A cars length from 60 to 120 A wagon huh ?

Whitestar Pilot Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 They looked like that from '98 thru '02, when they were cancelled. 325-horsepower ram-air LS1 right there. A lot of people have a hard time believing they run that good stock, but they do. If you beat him, then I'm impressed--specifically impressed that you held him off past 100mph. They pull pretty hard on the top end all the way to 150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDTURBO Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 ^^ not necessarily. they usually run out of steam past 5500. A4's expecially. definately fast cars, and definately hard to beat with a lgt, unless you're stage2+ and the ls1 driver sucks. Just a catback and an lid can get a 02 ls1 into the high 12's at high 10x's. 2012 Forester XT. Stage 2+ Retired from Racing. I used to build FMIC and more.

SubLo Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 WS-6 refers to the suspension package not the engine. Here's what it included: Ram Air hood and air intake (like that of the Firehawk) The 1998s and up WS6s have a completely new hood with 2 functional intakes right above the standard non functional nostrils Freer flowing exhaust system Higher rate front springs (360 lbs/in) Variable rate rear springs (130-180 lbs/in) Stiffer front and rear shocks Harder bushings Larger diameter front anti-sway bar (32mm) Increased cooling 17 inch wheels with 275/40ZR/17 tires ________________________________________________ [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1980"]'05 BSM OBXT Row-your-own, W.I.P. :rolleyes:[/URL] [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1242"]'06 Shrek B # 64 - The car the wife loved to hate :( Sold...[/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John M Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I've seen perfectly healthy LS1's (automatic) trap at 101 just as many times as I've seen 'em at 105+. Damn those production tolerances! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
