Default Ws6 Or Ss??

Hi everyone, I am new to LS1's. I'm waitin until my 03 GT sells and I'm gettin an LS1. (anyone interested in my 03 gt??? pm me) Anyways! I have the choice of gettin an 00 WS6 or an 01 SS. The WS6 has 57k miles and the SS has 65k...the WS6 is 15k, and they are "asking" 15k for the SS. Which one should I go with and why? They are both black by the way.
Thanks!
Fernanda

'02 '01 would be better choice whatever is the car, SS WS6 Z28 TA
Unless you wanna mod it heavily. Then just buy the cheapest LS1 and put your money towards your mods.
IMO WS6 looks mean, very mean.

Hey Girlie, go for the 01 you will have a newer year car that's higher on the book value and you will get the LS6 intake and injectors. Camaros typically are lighter than the T/A's by about 150 lbs.

The only downfall on the Camaro are the plastic headlights that turn all foggy from the sun here like the Stangs do.

SS because it's an 01 and soooo many ws6's are black. And if they're asking 15k, i'm sure you could get it down a little. Either way you can't go wrong. If your not too concerned about the ls6 intake, you should just choose which ever one you think looks better i guess

Claire!!!!! Hey there! I think I'm gonna go with the SS, unfortunately I havent sold the GT yet, I think I might put it up on ebay or just sell it to this one place in Orlando that buys modded stangs. As soon as I get rid of the stang, then I get the LS1.

Thumbs up Go WS6

Go WS6 yeah there are ups and downs to both i was the smae way, but i am just particular to the T/A, mainly becuase thats what i drive a black T/A, they look alot better than a camaro in my opinion and there are just so many camaros around not as many ws6's around besides a ws6 cant be mistaken for a firebird b/c of the hood go ws6.

Here is a question,

Are they from private sellers or dealerships?

I say get the one that looks better, runs better ect. get a feel for each car and go from there, and remember not to seem too excited but talk them down on the price a little. You can always mod the car .
