Readers of this magazine have seen this car before – probably a few times in fact, if you are a a follower of the lsxmag.com Facebook page [1]. We brought you the remarkable accomplishments of this Trans Am WS6 [2] back in April, and we have more information about it now.

Well, when we say information, what we really mean is this badass video of the T/A throwing down at the 2013 Spring Texas Invitational against some stiff competition. The video was shot by our friends at 1320 Video, and it’s essentially a short kill list of the car and a quick interview with the owner, Bryan Luna (aka, Flash).
But don’t think anyone with a simple “heads and cam upgrade” on a F-body can do what this car does, because this T/A is rockin’ a 364 cubic inch LSX block with a 94 mm turbo at 21 PSI when it’s “set to 1150” [horsepower] to the pavement. Shifting the gears requires a heavy-duty, and obviously fortified 4L80E automatic gearbox.
In this video, “Flash’s WS6 [4]” shuts down not just some souped-up Toyota, but an 800 horsepower Corvette, a 1200 horse Corvette, an 1100 hp Lambo, and although it does lose to a 1500 HP Lambo, it does one heck of a job hanging with him.
Sure, the F-body lost that last round, but when you’re racing a heavily modified Lamborghini built with a blank check, and still manage to hang with him, it’s not really a loss, is it?
