Default is this worth it

I found a black 2001 WS6 with 108,000 miles rebuilt 6 speed transmission for $12,950 with 435rwhp they have dyno sheets showing 435rwhp 410rwtq.... what do you guys think should I go for it or go for a 1999 silver base T/A with 133k miles 6 speed, exhaust, black Zr-1 rims, lid, and some other little things they want $7850 needs new ashtray, ship boot bracket and the oil pressure guage doesn't read right, it just has a short because I took it to a shop they looked it over reall good on a lift and everything said no oil leak..... I really like the WS6 but I just don't know whats a better deal.....

thanks in advance....

I would go with either of these, they are low miles. Unless you know these guys personally I wouldn't go for it. 435 is good and all, but it's at 435 for a reason. I'd go for a stock LS1 and do the mods your self.

Did your Dad have you do push-ups?
Good luck, PM me for details for the Texas National Guard, it's one of the best kept secrets. I served 10 years active duty and 3 yrs active guard. only seven more to go.

Well just so you know, we have Rangers and Special Forces in Texas, The SF Group is just getting stood up, that's why i said if it's training you want, then we have it. Plus you get to do it once a month and you still get to have a civilian job at the same time.

Let them know you can get shot anywhere. It's a lifestyle and a honor. Yeah I know, but remember times aren't the same. It's about you. You set the pace, a squared away soldier makes the difference not the rank, ask the old man, he'll tell you he's seen CSM's that were dirt bags.

Well your right, every one has the right to free speech. The only thing I've ever said while I was working out at gold's gym.

I saw a peace shirt, and on the back it said peace not war, and I called out a eight digit grid and said fire for effect and I got a dirty stair down,
oh yeah, one more thing, how old are you? If you are under 25 you better get a v6 chasis and push a LS1 for a swap. Insurance might eat you up. Get usaa since your dad is retired.

I'd keep an eye out for something in the 70k mile range, look to spend about 10-11, but it should give you the money to throw on mods to get the power you want down the line...

It's his thread and he asked the questions,lf that is what you are referring to. I didn't know someone could hi-jack their own thread

If you feel lonely, just push until i say recover, or on your feet if that helps you out.

Oh yeah and it's a texas forum not a for sale or wanted forum, it's just a open thread in the texas forum.
