If it's a V6 you probably won't be able to do a burnout with the stock troque converter.
Only stalls up to like 2000rpm right?
Not enough low end toruq to spin em.

I made a post about V6 mods a few months ago.
Try searching this section and you'll find a HUGE long list of what it takes for an Auto V6 Bird to run 12s.

I just purchased one in January this year and got a chance to drive a '00 T/A WS6 for one week and a half. I am disappointed I purchased the base model after driving the WS6.

I'm thinking about trading it in for a WS6 this Summer after I can get some $$ saved unless I can find a way to upgrade to the power of a WS6.
