lid and kn
other than that all stock


2000 black/black ws6 m6 12k$
75k VERY GOOD condition
ls2 swap
gto t56
bbk intake
air lid


alright the 98 is 7 but id be takin out a 10k loan to get wheels a hood etc the 00 is just plain badass but should i go for one closer to stock? just lookin for opinions im doing this by thursday

If you know the LS2 swap was done right I would get the 2000 WS6.

"IF" both cars run and look good then let the transmission decide it for you. Nothing worse then driving an auto on the street while you really want to row gears.

Likewise there is no fun in getting your butt kicked at the track while wishing you had a stalled auto that can get 1.7X 60's and go easy on the 10 bolt while doing it.

Good luck.

Yup :chug:

2000 dumdumdum!!!!

eny meany miny moe

I would prob stick close to stock unless the ls2 was prefessionaly done. Low miles and stock = No snake oil

Yep, my buddy keeps buying "project cars" and ends up selling them because he has no idea what to buy when shit breaks/needs to be replaced.

yeah if the swap was done right and the car rides and drives fine do the 2000...but the 98 is a damn good deal too...are you a auto guy or a stick person??

Same thing as above, if the LS2 swap is clean go for the 2000. Plus it already has a ram air hood, assuming thats the hood you would buy for the 98. But it really depends on what your plans are for the car. If you just want a nice driver then get the stocker, if you want to build up a car, then the LS2 might be a good starting point if done right.

The closer to stock, the lower the probability of abuse.

7 cabbages for a low mileage mint condition LS1 car sounds good.

I vote for the white 98.

Get the m-6!

the ls2 ws6...thing should be badass

I'm thinking the 2000 with the LS2 if everything checks out. How many miles on that engine?

edit: plus an M6 is much more fun!

The bank won't give you a loan for $10k on that 98.

^^ true i just had a friend get a 98 and had that same probably...

If your talking about the WS6 im thinking, it has been on craigslist for months. dont know if that has any meaning really, but i saw it a while ago on there. And an M6 ls2 with the stock 10 bolt will be interesting. Its a nice looking car though

how do you figure? is it because of some 10 year bullshit? if not it shouldnt be a problem i got 11k to buy my 00 z28....


oh and i decided i gonna get the 98 the 00 is a badass car but i decided i wanna build my own fast car instead of buying someone elses no reason other than that its a badass car and really clean

Was hoping you would get the M6 LS2 :devil: but it is more money up front and of course your own choice in the end. Have you bought it yet? Good luck with the purchase!

Good choice.

M6 is fun for certain, but A4 is the better overall setup. More sophisticated, reliable, consistent. Also don't have to keep changing clutches (expensive and a PITA to install).

I don't know about the A4 being reliable by any means, and the words sophisticated and Fbody/WS6 Trans Am don't really go together but the A4 should provide more consistant runs though. He'll need a stall of course....
