so you think the blue one is better? what kind of power should i expect out of the blue one? 345 hp at the crank roughly? I was thinking of doing a few mods to get it to the 400RWHP mark. One of my best friends is a guy that goes by Spinmonster, and I was thinking of getting one of his cams, some new valve springs, and having him come down and tune the car using HP tunes. that should get me close to that mark, no? thats good enough for high 11's to low 12's correct?

The black one, while still high and not a real ws6 if I read correctly, has considerably lower miles. And, is more modded and has nicer wheels that you won't have to spend money on later.

Both are 5 hours away and both want to come to me. I am just not trying to waste anybodies time. I can't travel to them due to Deployment training and being in a 1 hour recall. I am kind of leaning towards the blue, because it is 6 speed, but the mileage an condition of the black 1 has my interest as well.

I have seen the trans am and its a nice car and the owner is a nice guy. I actually went over the car when he got it. The car is not black it is a custom grey metlic which is real nice when you see it in person, also it had weld in sub frame connectors. Thats all i can think off as of right now that is not listed.
If you could i would drive both cars and whatever one drove the best thats the one i would take IMO.

Out of the two I like the blue one better....real WS6, better color, mostly stock so prob not beat on, and most importantly, it's a 6 speed.
However, I probably wouldn't make the trade because of the mileage. And while the black on has lower miles, it's an auto, so I wouldn't want that.
