WS6 for the last time...

Alright, I'm a total n00b to these forums but I did a fair bit if research prior to this post and I didn't find much to answer my question. So either I suck at searching or there just isn't anything there to find.

Anyway...

I have a '91 T/A GTA. Typical 305 with the 4spd auto and what not. Now, my question concerns my whole suspension setup. The car came with WS6 center caps and the honeycomb looking wheels in black, and there is a Performance Suspension badge on the dash, but the car has drums in the rear. Is it still a WS6 with rear drums? I saw somewhere that it's a WS7 if it has drums, but that can't be right.

Any help would be helpful, obviously.

Oh, and does anyone know the horsepower and torque rating for my car? It's all stock; no tricks. I'm just wondering because I found inconsistencies in my research.

is the rpo sheet still on the car? it will say WS6 if it is a WS6 car. Look in the center console.

As far as I know all Formula's and GTA's got the WS6 suspension package. The brakes are something separate.

Horsepower should be 205.

Re: WS6 for the last time...

If its a GTA, it has the WS6, there isnt any question there. What you didnt see was that for most years, rear discs were not a part of the WS6 option. So its entirely possible to have a WS6 car with drums in the back.
