I'm almost 40 and can afford either and get decent insurance rates.

The 6 has alot of appeal for me for several reasons.
* I won't be drag-racing.
* If I want to go fast, I go to mountain roads during fairly deserted times. Yes the V8 can do this too- but the 6 is plenty for this kind of driving.
* Fuel-economy is important if you commute.
* I like high RPM cars. It's more fun to wind a car up for me then to get off the line torque since I don't plan on racing this car. Anything sub-6seconds is sufficient for the freeway on ramp.
* I could afford the SS1, but I doubt I could convince the wife to let me have the SS2. An LT2/RS is affordable and I would guess a nicer daily environment to drive in.

An SS would be great for an extra car, but I really wouldn't want it as a daily driver.
