Question Which do you like better.

OK me and my friend was discussing this just a minute ago, He thinks people will like my car better than his. I say thats bullcrap hes got the LS1 and everyone likes those better than mine. So we need your help, which do you like better? Appearance only, not performance. We are good friends this isn't going to start any fights or anything, so be honest please.
Heres his car:


and Heres mine:

while i like the 98-02's better, I think I like yours better. I think it's the aftermarket hood and the 16" stockers on his that makes his look worse. Throw on some nice rims and a factory hood and I think he's got you beat.

I couldn't tell the difference on his hood from factory...My cousin has a 1998 WS.6 with the factory hood and I can't tell the difference.


EDIT: I see it now. I would have never known till you said something.

Amazing how much wheels make a difference, I say yours just because his wheels are horrible, well that and because I'm a little bias.

I went with the 98' - sorry, no offense to your car - I just never was a fan of the hood, nose or the vertical instead of horizontal design of the pop-up HL on the 97' style.

I do likee the girl in your sig though

x2. The 98+ style looks like a mean machine, but your car looks lethal! There IS an aura about an LT1 WS6.

If he had some different wheels (TT II's, Fiske, etc.) I'd go with his. But right now, i like yours better.

I have to agree the stock wheels kill his car put some 96-00 ws6's or ttII and it will totally change the look of his car. I'm in the same spot you are just opposite colored cars. At my house I keep my friend's(Iraq,marines) silver 97 T/A not a WS6 car but has the ws6 wheels(will soon have the hood) and my 99 black WS6 I drive them both alot and get alot of compliments in both. I found the guys tend to be a bigger fan of the black one and the girls think the silver car is "prettier". I must say the my 99 looks meaner while in reality it's close to stock, while the silver one is a cam full bolt on car. So out of my friends the car guys like riding in the silver one and the girls like riding in the black car. I just wish the black one was as easy to keep clean as the silver one. you and your friend will probably end up deciding what me and my freind did. that is that you both have really good looking cars and which one looks better will change with each person you ask.

you can tell its aftermarket hood because its not a ws6 because of the wheels and only they come with that hood. while i own a 2002 silver ws6 i do like ur black lt1 better because of the way its set up, his silver one is way to plain, great job.
