I traded cars with my friend for a couple days. He has a ws6 trans am. Holy **** is that thing fast. It has the 6 speed. I was just wondering what engine it has? LS1? How much horsepower does it have? I have to get an engine like that for my car. It's a 97 trans am with the WS6 package. Thanks.

I think it does have the LS1...but I'm not sure. The LS1 engines easily run 13's and sometimes higher 12's stock. A very nice engine indeed.

 

I have major traction problems when I am driving it. I can put it in 1st punch it and I just sit there and I end up maxing out my rpms. I love it. It's great.

Welp, i'm thinking it's the LS1 and they dyno around 325 - 330 (Figures taken from actual dyno results) on average. 13.3 is common stock, 12.9 is more common with K&N's, airbox lid, and a ported MAF. Although don't get me wrong, some do run 12's stock, but more common to see 13's.

Could you stop by my house?

 

Like Mkos1980 said, it has an LT1. LS1 did not appear in F-Bodies untill 98. I think the LT1 had 275 hp stock, the WS6 package added a bit with the ram air, I believe.

 

305HP LT1. Good for a 14.0-14.2.

I know that to see what engine our cars have you look inside the glove box. Does anyone know where to look for this car?

Oh another thing, I raced a z28 today. I think that it was around a 93 - 97? Not to sure it was that type of body style. but anyway I killed it. I don't know if it was because a woman was driving it though? But I killed her. hehe. I love this car.

The motor is an LT1 and 285 horses.
I drove my friends 96 T/A with the M6, 4.10 gears, headers, and a cutout.
That car blew my mind. He can smoke 1st and 2nd and chirp 3rd and 4th.
He ran a 13.42 a couple of years ago. Got a 13.67 last saturday with a 20mph head wind.

From what I have read in Motor Trend, stock LS1 F-bodies will usually run somewhere in the 13.8-13.6 area. The LS1 Vettes are running low 13s stock, I have seen from 13.3 to 13.1, reguardless, they are f***ing fast!!!

Just pop the hood and look at the plenum, if it's aluminum and looks pretty kewl, is a LT1

If it's black plastic and looks like hell (or it's missing a cover) it's the LS1

LT1, The 97 TA's were rated at 305hp with ram air, I think 285 standard, Kevin, LS1 began in 98

 

Or you could take the simpler and easier way and look at the 8th letter of the VIN through the Windshield. I do that all the time around here when I see F-body's because I'm curious.
