Question Which WS6?

I found two WS6 for sale close to home for me. Ones a 2000 Artic White M6, 67,000 miles. The other is an 2001 NBM M6, 67,000 miles as well. I like both colors so its really a toss up for me. Which one is the better buy?

Both links go to the same car, FYI...

The 2001 will be marginally faster (and I mean marginally) with the LS6 intake. After that, it's pretty much all color preference. I'm a huge fan of the Arctic White...its my favorite color, so I voted for that one.

I could be wrong, and probably am... But if the blue one is an 01, shouldnt it have different WS6 wheels? I thought that style was only used for 98-00.

2001 and 2002 Speedline had additional, optional wheels. Same standard Ws6 wheels from 96-2002 with Speedlines as an option in the last years.

I was going to vote for the NBM due to it looking close to stock and the LS6 intake...until I saw the Alpine TypeX in the white car. That baby will rattle your eardrums.

Surely you didn't post for advice on the radio or the colour of the paint.

The 01 blue one is the better value BY FAR from the info in the ads without checking the cars closely in person.

The 00 white was certainly owned by a younger guy that beat the **** out of it. The 01 blue looks like an unmolested original. Also, the 01 has many mechanical engine improvments over the 00 (LS6 intake, no EGR, stronger rod bolts, LS6 clutch).

On a minor note, those wheels on that 01 are stock. This car was probably built before Dec 00, after which the 01 cars started to use the 02 WS6 style wheels.

If the 01 blue one checks out for Carfax and hoist inspection, this choice is a no brainer.

I like the white one. A little work under the hood fixing that half assed wiring and it will be a nice car, by the pics anyway.

I have a NBM xtreme blazer and its a PITA to keep clean, im done with dark colors.

You are correct sure I was simply looking for technical advice. Im a camaro man and knew about the 01 having the LS6 intake but was looking for any other valuable imput. I really do like artic white but you bring up a good point on the white one. With the TA decal in the window and what looks like trans am decals on the door handles plus the stereo system you would assume it was a young kids car. Hell I'm only 20 myself but my Camaro was done up with a sound system and I babied that **** like an old man except for when mustangs came around. With that benig said I am going to check into both cars. The white one says one owner which makes me feel it couldnt be a young kid buying it new in 2000 but who knows more research needs to be done on my part.

Thanks for the comments fellas!
