    What about the nice 98 for sale on here? Seems like a great deal for the price!

    The 01 is a nice car, and that 320hp is nice as well....but it has IRS, not the best option if you're planning on taking it to the strip. I guess it just depends on what you plan on doing with the car- DD, weekend car, strip car etc.

    if you are mostly going to be doing racing i would go with the 01 for the IRS.
