Well the tires are thick as hell so it must be. There's no other explanation.

WS6 yes

chances are if the frount sway bar looks like a small tree trunk and it has a rear bar with 16's it's got the WS6 package. Also it does not have to have a disc rear, but does it and if it does what kind of calipers are on it? some have PBR aluminum, some had cast.

Ya it has a rear sway bar and the front does kinda look like a tree trunk, i guess i have it but thats weird that it doest say ws6 or anything, just performance suspension near the dash. Thanks but do you know if it will actually make a big difference for racin and stuff?

WS6 raceing

Well it depends on what kind of raceing. If you want to road race keep it all If you want 1/4 times still keep, it the only thing you might to do for that is run a skinnier tire up frount
You can also check the center consoul for the build sheet and check the f-body.com or org site,they have a vin decode page that will tell you everything about your car. give that a try& let me know what you find

Thanks alot, i just got my license and this is my first car so im really excited to get started on it. i havent really got alot of road time on it yet cause i just got it registered. I dont really have any mods except for a new intake system but how fast is the 305 tpi compared to other cars on the road today? before i registered it i drove my friends 96 stock v6 cammaro and it seems like my car has alot more power than his. Do you think that my trans am has enough speed to keep up with some of todays sports cars and crappy rice burners?
