or a 99' trans am WS6 6 speed with 103,000 miles on it heres a few pics of it



yeah dey small pics.

heres the info on cars
-fresh rebuilt t56
-new clutch
-hooker muffler
-410 gear
-pro 5.0 short throw shifter
-slp air lid
-firehawk hood


the camaro guy wants 8 g's and the ws6 want 8500

im honestly leaning more towards the ws6 i test drove it and everything and i loved it. the camaro i have yet to see in person or drive.

i would go with the 99, if i remember right, and forgive me if i'm wrong or get the complete information wrong, but the 99s have greater ability for mods. something with the heads i think on the 98s that make them less desirable. uhhh, yeah someone will remember and give you more detailed information, my brain is in shutdown mode right now. haha.

I think its how you take care of it basicly keeping it out of prolonged direct sunlight and the amout of power you make. Mine broke after I launched it at the strip j

Id go for the Camaro over the Ws6 for a few small reasons, cheaper, less miles, more "quality" mods and ones you wont have to do yourself later and pay for, also, I think the Z has a cleaner look with the SS wheels. BUT, Im not spending the money or havnt looked at/drove each or got a feel from previous owner how it was maintained or driven. Be sure to check underneath, on a hoist for collision damage, or repair signs.
Thats my 2cents.
Good luck, you'll be happy with either one's power, your moving on from a Honda!
