Why do people think the WS6 is slower then the SS? - Page 2

they should be the same but WS.6 looks faster! (If l wouldn't know anything about cars and if l would see them both, l would say that ws.6 should be faster)

My friend is trying to talk me into buying an LS1 WS6. I told him (somewhat jokingly) that if I sold the maro, combined with the money I have in the bank, that I would have enough to buy one. He thinks I should, but if I do that, I'll have no money for college or mod money. But I do agree, the WS6 looks cooler than most camaros.
But they are practically the same car, so driver's race.

I do agree that it is a drivers race however, if you take 2 of the same car and add ground effects (front, sides, back), a bigger spoiler, and not to mention the pop-up headlights. All that extra weight adds up. What's the old saying? "One hundred pounds is equal to a tenth of a second". I remember in the 80's and 90's in magazines, they always said the T/A was always a little slower because of the weight.

It's just like with the 5.0 Mustangs, you take a LX hatch with exactly the same options as the GT. The LX weighs about 300 pounds lighter. That's basically three tenths of a second. That could be up to 3 car lengths.

Here's my 2 cents, THE WS6 LOOKS MEAN AS HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The SS is cool also but, it has more of a clean look. I think the same thing about the LX and GT 5.0's. One day I like the GT better than the next I like the LX better (because of the cleaner look). I guess it depends on what day it is.

The majority of LT1 WS6's were made on Formula platforms, which was lighter than the Z28 platformed used on the SS.

andyjs3589 · #27 08-07-2006, 01:08 AM

I plan on going to college then when I get out and get a good job take out a loan and get a ws6

To be honest I think College is damn near worthless. I can't tell you how disheartening it is to see a dude w/ an engineering degree working at a movie theatre, or a guy with a PHD applying at Consumer Affairs for a Small Claims Advisor position. Finding a job out there is more based on your experience then it is your education. I have two degrees (A Bachelor's Of Science Degree in Criminal Justice and an American Bar Association Degree in Corporate Law).

Reflecting back on it all, it was fun getting my degree, but honestly most workplaces just look at a degree as a test of your ability. Think about it, what do you truly learn at a University that you will utilize at your workplace? If you go to a trade school it's alot better idea. You'll have hands on experience, and deal with all the problems you run into on a day to day basis. I suppose I write better then the average Joe, but it really isn't worthwhile all the time I put into College.

That's just me rambling on. Take my advise for what it is. Go to trade school if you believe me, but don't if you disagree.
