How fast is a 2000 WS6 automatic in the 1/4?

I found specs on the 6-speed

6-speed

0-60. . . . . 5.2 sec
1/4 mile. . . 13.5 sec

Auto

0-60. . . . . 6.0 sec
1/4 mile. . . ???

I'm guessing that the taller gears in the 4-speed auto will hamper acceleration.

Any info?

should go mid-low 13s depending on altitude and temp. ive seen stock ones with just a catback go low 13's. and the only difference in the trans am and ws-6 was just an appearance package and suspension. the ws-6 will be a few tenths slower since its heavier than a normal trans am. fiberglass hood, 17 inch wheels etc.

i might be wrong but i thought the ws6 had a different airbox and exhaust too, from slp or something? i dunno though, either way its worth it for that mean looking hood i think lol.

WS6 is about 320-325 HP 335-340 TQ

Trans AM is about 305 HP 320 TQ

So the WS6 package is not just appearance.

The question is what is the approximate 1/4 mile time for a WS6 with an automatic?
It's .8 sec slower 0-60 so I doubt it's running faster than high 13's, low 14's stock.

thats what the ws-6 was rated at from the factory. the engines are exactly the same. the only reason they were rated higher was because of the ram air. they are in fact the same car and didnt dyno any differently from car to car.

SLP built all the SS camaro's. they had the SLP exhaust and stuff. the ws-6 did have a bigger air box due to the ram air hood. thats the only difference.

excuse me. appearance, suspension and ram air.

excuse me. appearance, suspension and ram air.

...and it also came on the V6 Firedbird as well.

im pretty sure your wrong. they never offered a ws-6 package on v6 cars.

D'oh your right it was the W68 package I was thinking about.

So your tellin me that since they're since they have the same engine and dyno the same that if you put a TA against a WS6 they'll run the same?

I don't think so.

They will actually help when more power is added. Taller gears mean you can stay in longer without having to shift near the lights.

I also belong to LS1.com stock TA 5 second 0-60 just over 13sec 1/4 310 HP
ws6 4.9 0-60 just under 13 sec 1/4 mile 320 hp. but here is the thing gm was building more ls1's at camaro firebird engine plant that some of the ls1's came from their corvette plant. I read that cars with this motor would dyno close to factory spec. over 300 hp at wheels vs 270 something for regular ls1's dont quote me on the numbers at it was years ago I read this info.

no, i already stated that a ws-6 and trans am wont run the same. if you will read what i already posted. although they both do put down the same numbers, they dont weigh the same. and i also answered your question as did jsis789. should go mid-low 13s depending on temp and altitude. ive never seen or heard of one going 12's stock. my 2 best friends who happen to be brothers both have ls1 trans am's (one is a 98 auto with 243 aluminum ported ls6 heads, cam, F.A.S.T. ported intake, 3800 stall converter, pacesetter long tubes, magnaflow catback, 12 bolt 3:73 rearend, texas lid, it went 13.58@103 with a 2.0 60' bone stock and now puts down 455 with the converter locked and runs LOW 11 second 1/4 et's. his brother has a t56 2002 trans am with a similar setup) and im an avid reader of ls1tech.com. i also read gm high tech magazine so you can trust me on this.

ws6 4.9 0-60 just under 13 sec 1/4 mile 320 hp.

the only reason they were rated at 320 was the ram air. the engines are the same. all trans ams and ws-6's actually made more than what they were rated stock. they came under rated from the factory. the t56 cars made about 305 RWHP stock and auto's made around 285 RWHP. thats about 370 flywheel hp for stick cars and 350 flywheel hp for autos.

thabks, i have been edumacated, i thought they had exhaust too, must have been cofusing them with the ss's.

anytime.

SLP did their own rendition of the firebird known as the "firehawk" http://slpfirehawk.com/

firehawks are extremely rare. unlike ss camaro's.
