Hey Mike Nice Trans am WS6!!
I was on the market for a sportscar about 4 years ago and the mustang was on the top of my list but I test drove a WS6 as well, I thought it was nice but very heavy and sluggish feeling and didnt have very good throttle response. it was a used one but I was dissapointed in the perfermance for a 350 v-8 in it..
Thanks for the comments and for the record Mike. I was looking for a Trans Am and a Stang at the same time and whichever i found first in my price range and my style i would get. So your car makes me drewl. Plus i have heard and seen those cars in action and they are smokin!
Yeah! My cousin in Orlando had a WS6 he had a guy who supposedly worked for Lingenfelter, but left rebuild the engine and put a turbo on it! He said he ran mid 11's on street tires basically spinning all the way down the track! I've seen pics and videos of it, but never got a chance to ride in it before he sold it...:doubt:
Krish, i hate to tell you this bud, but i used to work at GM..we were one of the plants that made the S10's.. i drove them off the line and parked them in a lot nearby... every car that came off that line on night shift was TRASHED!!!! the guys that i worked with would slam the cars in park while they were still going like 5-10mph..it's no wonder the cars we get have so many defects...one time this guy took one of the 4X4's mud riding..you literally couldn't tell what color it ws when he came back..they offered a reward to find out who did it.....the last day i ever worked there, 5 cars got wrecked that night..2 of them were almost totaled.. 2 others were ruined when our shuttle van tried to fit in between 2 trucks that were parked really close together..we skidded all the way down between them...the driver of our van may, or may not have been drunk that night .... those guys were crazy!!!
Yeah, thoes are the guys that are making $30/hr and have so many union perks, that half the time they work, they are making double or tripple pay. Sometimes I wonder why I went to school to become an engineer. :doubt:
yep!!! the supervisors aren't even union..it is really funny because most of the workers would complain to their union rep if the supervisors tried to fire them!!!!
