Help me decide.

I have two choices for cars. One is a 97 stripper M6 Z28 with 75k miles. The other is a 98 fully optioned A4 Z28 with 98k miles. Both are factory stock. My question is which one would you guys buy?

LS1, although the M6 is a blast to drive. Guess the A4 would make a more "pratical" DD, at least thats what I'm going to tell my GF when I buy another

Tough choice!!
M6 is the only way to fly IMHO!

But an LS1 is much more fun (faster) than an LT1...

I would keep searching and get both....an M6 LS1.
If you settle 4 the LT1 you will regret it, and if you want an M6 and settle 4 the A4...ditto.

I say go with the LS1...yeah the M6 will be more fun, but a stalled auto can be pretty fun as well.

For me, I'd pick the A4 car no question. I don't like manual transmissions.

Get the LS1 if you're fiending and can't wait. But I'd wait for a M6 LS1 if you really want a manual. Don't rush into something you don't really want though.

The only people that would tell you to buy an LT1 are probably LT1 owners

You only found TWO cars? Keep in mind that a 1-way plane ticket is usually only $200-300. Find a car within a days drive, fly out and drive it home. That will give you more options on cars.
