Default What should I look for next?

I am in the market for another f-body....

I know a few things that I want for sure.
-Black on black
-T tops pref.
-LS1
-Not a 2002


What year should I look for? Any problematic years?

I am leaning towards a Trans Am WS6.

I also might be purchasing a 2006+ Z06 (I know thats a big difference between a f-body)

BUT!

I am waiting till the new Camaro comes out if it does have the 7.0 at a resonable price I might go with that. But if the new Camaro and Z06 lets me down I am going with another F-Body and building a 408 Stroker.

Honestly, if you want to meet all those requirements you might not be able to be all that picky. Cars are getting harder and harder to find.

But, I would look for an '01. Already has the LS6 intake and no egr ****.

Get the Z06, there is no way you will regret 500 HP from the factory, just imagine the power with a bigger cam and Nitrous
