It took me a year to find what I wanted, an 02. I like the 02 for the following reasons.
- It has the steering wheel controls.
-LS6 intake FACTORY installed.
-A better clutch system.
I have yet to check my car to see if it has the LS6 block. Boy, wouldnt that be great!

Small addition to the list here. The ZO6 clutch actually began at the end of the 2000 model year. M6 cars built at the end of the 2000 production got the ZO6 clutch. Very few people are aware of this, but it's the truth.

i bought my 00' Z28 M6 for 14k and made the loan for 18.5k. That 4.5k went into mods right away. Easyiest way to do it IMO. After i get some ZR1 rims i want to get a FAST intake.

I am planning to make this car run mid to high 11's on the juice before it's all said and done.
So I'd find one with the least mileage if that's all you want. But I wouldn't be suprised if that high 11's turns into "want mid 10's" if you hang around here much.

There are LS6 blocks in the upper 800 build numbers for 01
Also dont forget the best factory F- Bod manifolds ever produced were 01/02
Over all the 01/02`s are the best outta the box LS1 F-Bods produced.With the aftermarket mods out now days I wouldnt even look at anything pre 01.
Pretty common for a free modded 01/02 M6 to drop into the high 12`s on street tires.
NEVER would you see such from a 98,99,2K
