I'm also going with #1, I am a fan of the 1991-1992 styling with the high rise spoiler, indented ground effects, and the flat faced rims... :hail: :lala:

Since you're torn based on looks, you have to decide based on other things now. Do you want t-tops? Cause it looks like the teal one doesn't have them and the white one does. Also, the white one looks like an 89? RS. You said both were V8s, but now do you want the TBI or the TPI? I'm assuming the white one has a stock engine. What options do they have and how's the condition?

I'd go with #1 also, it's a Z isn't it? It has the black headlight pockets and the right grille it looks like....

Heh, I'm gonna be the odd ball here I guess, but I like #2. Always have liked white cars, but I suppose I'm a little biased

I'm with Spider 7. I like the white one. I like the RS spoiler, I wish they made one for a Firebird. The white one looks like its about to tear up the pavement with those wide rims.

Well the Teal one is a 92 Z28 and the White is 89 RS, white has 305 tbi, and not sure about teal. white was just painted last fall, and according to the owner in perfect condition. the teal one is one lady owned with 47k on it. i believe the white one has a hair of 100k. they are both like 100 miles away so i will have to take a road trip, that will be tough now that my car is sold today at 6 o'clock. and i would love to buy both but i dont have 9g's

Well, I like them both, but based on the fact that the 91 has less miles and was owned by a lady, i think i'd buy that one. Its still a virgin

I personally like the white one better looks wise just because the 91 has the "me too" look. Everyone wants that big wing and the 91-92 style ground efx. Even the guys with older cars convert over on occasion.

But like I said, the one with the least miles and least amount of mods is the one to get if you don't take the looks into consideration.

I guess i am a bit of an oddball as well. I liked #2 a bit better in styling. I never really liked the high rise spoilers on the 90-92 Z's and really find the RS spoiler to be a much nicer and matches the overall car a bit better. Don't get me wrong i would gladly take either one, but the white just appeals to me a bit more.

i actually like the white car better... it also looks like it was well taken care of. the only thing i dont like is the rims, other than that i think it would stand out more if you had the white one.. if it is well kept and clean.
