TA. Cheaper, less miles, good color (not as good as SOM), and looks better.

Either car will make you happy. The T/A is only a grand more money with half the miles, so I would probably go with the T/A.

Hands down without a doubt the SOM SS.

One of the baddest cars on the planet IMHO

I am, however, biased.

SOM SS > *

As far as value goes here, the TA is a year newer and has fewer miles, and probably had a higher sticker price. However, I personally wouldn't want the tan interior.

I'd go with the SS for the color and to avoid the tan interior. Plus I prefer the look of an SS over a non-WS6 TA.

BUT... that's a really good price for the mileage on the TA. I know I couldn't live with tan interior on ANY car... but if you don't think it'll bother you, you should probably go with the TA.

And of course, try to talk the price down on whatever you choose!

Get the TA and put you a RamAir hood on there and you will be set! I think tan and NMB is an awesome color combo.

either one will be sweet. especially the SS being SOM. although, me personally I'm a TA guy because I like the curve lines on the T/A's better than a Camaro body. NBM & tan interior looks sweet together. That 02 TA you're looking at has 1/2 the mileage of the Camaro and is presently the LAST year made of the f-bodies.
