Traded in the Evo for a 2001 WS6

2000LS1Z28 · #1 11-07-2004, 04:03 AM

Well the Evo had quite a few problems with it (Clutch, all the belts and crank plate getting destroyed in a freak accident, and numerous programming issues that were never resolved). I went to a dealership initially looking for a 2002 SS that they had there. Luckily that car sold, and I looked over to see a 2001 WS6 for sale, for alot cheaper. The car costed $21,000 and had 39K miles on it. I traded in the Evo, and gave them $1000. I'm paying less money for the car, and I have an extended warranty. Hopefully this car won't have that many problems. Matty we definitely need to run each other. BTW the car came with some aftermarket goodies: Thunder Racing Catback Exhaust, and K&N air filter.

Good deal. I guess the two cars are a bit different, but why didn't you get another evo?

Congrats, you have any plans for the WS6? You gonna mod it or leave it pretty much stock?

haha of course hes goin to do shit to it. right now since the WS6 is pretty mcuh stock, his EVO is probrably faster. anyways well sorry to hear about the freak accident with your EVO. well enjoy your new car. i just think it would be weird to jump from a Z28 to a EVO back to a big clumsy WS6 again. i mean you had a taste of what a balanced car feels like, now your just goin straight back to raw power.

I'd think the WS6 would be faster, or am I wrong?

that WS6 is pretty stock, and his EVO keep up with DANOSS who has a 330whp SS camaro until lke 140mph.

Actually top end wise i'm positive that this car is faster. I'd guestimate that this car should trap around 104 mph through the traps at Speedway, whereas the Evo would trap around 102 with it's mods. The car already has a few mods that the original owner put on. The power is there, and i'm positive that this car has more power at the wheels then the Evo did. I actually think it can hang with Danno SS's car from a roll (He's got drag radials, and his car is an automatic, so I don't think I could beat him from a dig. BTW he ran a 13.2 sec. 1/4 mile at 105 last time we were at the track). The Evo kept having problems. I don't think all Evo's are bad reliability wise, but that car was really pissing me off. Oh, and yeah, this WS6 handles horribly. I isn't even funny how poorly it handles.

the WS6 is as fast or faster than the evo.

at least the WS6 handles better than the Z28

Whatever makes you happy I guess. It seems like a downgrade to go from a brand new evo to a 3 year old ws6. W/e Both cars are cool and fast.

Both cars are amazing...good luck with the ws6...let us know who your first victim is...

Sorry to hear you had problems w/ the EVO, but at least you got a taste of the other side.

Enjoy the WS6, those things haul ass...

Hope you enjoy the WS6. Let me know if you are ever going to Sac Raceway!
