I think it is a toss up. If it were me I would go for the WS6, already modded and as an added bonus it is owned by a detailer. (I'm a detailer) If he is anything like me it sits in a garage every night and gets washed weekly... The red is similar to mine, I bought a 2000 w/58k miles for $8,500. I sometimes wish mine was a stick and had a WS6 hood.

Depends which one was cared for, the red car was probably cared for better..(Lower miles & stock)

On the other hand I know people who have headers and cams and are really easy on them. Just depends on the owner!

i vote the WS6 but I'm kinda partial to the ram air but defiantly try and talk him down a little mine has 150k but i got it for $4000 so there are deals out there dont rush into it or you'll regret it (i had a 2000 V6 Camaro for a couple of years)

I would buy the black WS6. Looks better, M6, but I'm not sure if you said the mileage on it. I am biased though as I own a 99 black WS6.

The thing about WS6, you don't know how well of job the cam install was. So i would get the red car for a little lower.

Out of the two, I would get the untouched stock one.
Red TA is my choice.

Thanks for your imput. I went ahead a got the red 98 and going to order a hood ( not sure what one yet). The main thing was after talking with the owner of the black car he says the owner before him didi the work and he didnt know anything about it.

Yeah unless it was done by a professional shop not saying the guy who did it didnt do a good job. You will always wonder and worry. And maybe worse something will fail. Very sharp car. I had a auto 01 ss and now have 00ss m6. I love the m6 but when high rpm driving with stock clutch it sticks and you have to be very careful when shifting.i just bought this car and the mods have begun. I did ls6 intake, lt headers,lid ory so far. Man car is running great . Enjoy nice looking Ta.
