I was going to look at 2001 as well as this one that I bought but there was a few things that threw me over the edge on the 95. First and foremost it looks more like my 93 that I really liked. I like the pointier nose and their true hideaway headlights also the smoother nose... The 95 head brand new paint job brand new rims and tires and 45,000 miles less... And the color I liked LOL... I would have maybe like the automatic in the 2001 and of course the LS1. It's a daily driver so the horsepower isn't an overwhelming Factor... The automatic is preferred in the city but I'll live with the 6 speed...
