I have owned this car going on 5 years and it has never let me down. I have modified the exhaust with Hooker long tube headers with ceramic coating, custom 3" exhaust pipe leading to either straight pipes through DMH Performance electronic cut outs or Hooker muffler. I have also installed a Moroso cold-air intake, PCM for Less computer programming, Subframe connectors, G-load brace with drive shaft loop, 4.10 Richmond Rear Gears and Summt Racing rear differential cover.

Pros — 5.7L LT1 V8 Engine
Slick styling
Dyno proven 305 RWHP and 355 RW Lb Ft. Torque
Cons — Not practicable ... but that's the point

This coupe really looks. Not only does it feel like a brawny muscle car, the WS6 looks, sounds, and acts like one. Slide the key into the ignition, step on the clutch, and a glorious growly percussion fills the air. I recommend just sitting there enjoying the uproar before you slip the stick into reverse or first, and take off. After switching to second gear on this six-speed transmission coupe once you get rolling, the sound subsides and for the rest of the ride you're accompanied by rather nice hi-fi sonics as you rip through the gears.

Pros — Torque, styling, T-tops
Cons — Can't get traction!
