The 2nd one is the best. I like the first one but they got the front lowered to much and makes car look like Sh*t. Since you want power go for the cam'd one. Only negative is that it hasn't had a new/better clutch put in yet

What's going on Ross? Yeah I noticed that it does look awful, I was also looking at this c5 down in Arkansas http://fortsmith.craigslist.org/cto/4133232254.html

just a thought. I want to try something a little different, but if I have to get an F-body it'll be a ws6.

I'd personally say the third one just due to the fact it has less mods, but that's preference. I myself shy away from modded cars due to the fact we all know what mods are for Plus it's red, and red WS6s look beautiful

As far as the 'Vette goes, it's hard saying just because of the fact that there's little information in the ad. If it's been maintained properly and in good shape it could be a good buy.

Good luck with buying, always an exciting/frustrating venture

Id personally skip on the vette, its a 97 and that was the first year for the c5. The later models would have the kinks worked out. Id look for 2000+ on vettes and same can be said for fbodys also.

I can agree here also, you never know what kind of detail the person put into doing the mods/cam swap. Did they upgrade lifters, oil pump, timing chain, or did they measure PTV, lifter preload, etc.

I would say #1 or #3 if you can get either of them for the price of #2.

2000+ priced too high.

They don't call it resale red for nothing!! Everybody looks when a nice red car goes by, but I agree that the price is a little high for the year and mileage. Don't settle for a car you kinda like, wait and your deal will come along! GLWTSearch!!

Too much $$$ for how many miles those cars have on them. Some good mods tho.
