I have two choices for cars. One is a 97 stripper M6 Z28 with 75k miles. The other is a 98 fully optioned A4 Z28 with 98k miles. Both are factory stock. My question is which one would you guys buy?

 

hmmm....., early LS1 or Late LT1.............

tough choice

 

I would choose the 97 z28 because it's a stickshift car and besides that you are also looking at a 23k mile difference. Also imo the 98's run a bit iffy. I never trust the first year of the gens (i.e. 93, 98). If the 98 was a stickshift then I would have gone with that one assuming I'm getting both of them at the same price. The displacement some people have gotten with LS1's are disguistingly nice, but the cost to modify an LS1 against an LT1 are huge. It really depends on what kind of application you are looking for.
