Default Opinions welcome...

Not sure if this thread is appropriate, but if it's not a mod can nuke it.

Presently looking at two cars, and would like some opinions on them. I have in my mind a good idea which one I'm leaning towards, but am wondering if I'm insane.

First is a '99 Formula 6spd, under 80k miles, priced right around it's KBB worth. Bone stock.

The other is a '02 Formula 6spd, 115k miles, priced about 500-1k less than the other car, also bone stock.

I know which one I'm leaning towards, but wouldn't mind hearing other opinions. Which would you guys pick? Thanks.

I would go with the 99 just because of the fact that it has lower miles. It depends if its HWY miles or not. Which is hard to tell. But yet again the 99 would have the LS1 manifold, and the 02 would have the LS6 manifold. Test drive both, and see which on you like better.
