The "WS.6 Package" started in 1978 and slowly faded away. I don't know too much about the older models, but the WS.6 Package came back in 1996-2002. It added Ram Air, 17" rims with 275 wide tires, and a more aggressive suspension setup. The 96-97 WS.6 equipped vehicles had 305hp vs the regular 285hp. For 98-00 WS.6 equipped vehicles, 320hp vs 305hp for the regular models. For 01-02 WS.6 equipped vehicles, they had 325hp compared to 310hp for the regular models. Also, the 98-02 LS1 V8 models were under-rated by GM, they were advertised as having 305-325hp, but it's more closer to 350hp. The WS.6 package doesn't necessarily mean that the car is faster than a regular V8 model, as all the V8 equipped vehicles dyno the same numbers. It is more of a suspension/appearance package than anything.
