Question WS6 specific info

with the purchase of the 97 TA WS6 im looking for info on build numbers for the car. ive googled and been thru ls1tech and i see that all the 98+ cars were actually done by ASC, not SLP, but the 96-97's were done by SLP, however due to SLP loosing the contract, they kept poor records of the cars they did in 97. my car has a factory build date of april 1997 so it must be towards the end of the lt1 ws6 lifespan. anyone have any good sources or knowledge they can pass on? thanks

Yeah you have to look by your rpo codes though. That site breaks it down into build week, amount of new car smell applied, and barometric pressure when the tires were filled.

mine says one of one as well....you gotta remember that its's one of one in the model year....and if there wasn't a lot made, like in 92 there was only 883 formula's made your chances of being one of one are much greater

QFT

They break it down by way, way too much. I would guess that the build week alone makes most cars one of one unless it's a high production vehicle.


Hey, look at it this way! If you break it out by VIN, your car is 1 of 1!

well i narrowed it down to 1 of 357 red 97 ws6 coupes with an M6.

i contaced SLP and they have no record of my car by VIN....

Hello Mike,

I tried the new number and it is not in our data base. General Motors may have retained the information about the 1997 WS6 vehicles.
