Default Drove an M6 TA today

It's been about a month and a half since I've decided to sell my car for a M6 TA. I've been geting a little discouraged lately becuase everyone else wants and M6 not an auto and it's a 93 so you know speed density. I was beginning to think I was just going to keep my car but I test drove a 96 TA and it was a blast!

So now my zeal is renewed and I think I finally got a serious buyer for mine. The 96 TA I drove seemed mechanically sound but it the airdam was faded and it had a dent on the driver side fenderwell.

But it sheerrrr was fun to drive!!!
I think I'll pass on that one and get a 96WS6 that I had my eye on and shell out a little extra dough.

Selling it is only half the battle. I've been looking for an M6 LT1-car and haven't had any luck so far.

Yeah I know. There is a 96WS6 I'm thinking about getting in Houston for 6500 with 111500. It looks nice in the pictures but I have to see it in person. If things work out should be taking it home in about a week. But yeah it can be a painstaking process finding the right F-body for just the right price.

Why not just do the swap? Speed density is fine.

I'm being kicked off of my insurance company by January 2006 and need to purchase a car that I won't need to have full coverage on... in other words, one that my parents can buy with cash and I can pay them loan payments for instead of owing the bank since that will require liability and collision.

Oh I don't mind it, but most of the wanted adds start at 94-97 instead of 93. A few guys that were looking for LT1 TA's said they didn't want to deal with speed density for some reason. Speed density is not as dynamic I've heard as Mass airflow but I have had few problems with mine.

I just want an M6 anyways I don't care if it is 93, 97 or even a 98-01 would be nice if I could get one cheap enough.(doubt it)
