Mike, I'd choose the silver one if I ~had~ to. Personally, I wouldn't buy either. I know you know LS1s, but I wouldn't buy any car that's been modded to that extent, cause you know they've had the pi$$ beaten out of them, and you don't know who did the work. JMO, of course. I know you save a ton of money buying a modded one over a stock one, but you're taking chances on a car like that.

Well, I just want to buy the car done up. I don't want to have to pay out the ass and have it sitting forever. The silver one has a cam that I may not want for how I will drive the car but has some top of the line components. The blue one would be the right fit from the start. I still have to talk to the owners and get more info.

BTW, I can honestly say that I really didn't beat on my TA as much as someone might think. Maybe I could find a vette owner that drove like me lol.

Id say the silver one. Vettes do NOT need a spoiler. ever.

I agree with steve tho.

Both seem like nice cars. If the spoiler can be removed from the NBM one easily, I would prolly do that, and tone down the yellow on the inside a bit.

I really hate the looks of the blue one. I'd go with the silver vette if I were in your shoes.

I've been leaning toward the silver vette for now. I don't think it has as many factory options though.

The only way would be to see me at work. I'm there six days a week. My boss started to tell me the line "All work and no play..." and I interrupted him by finishing it with "...makes Michael a Corvette owner" lol.

That was my first thought as well.
