Hello everyone,
First let me explain my situation. My car has been a bunch of trouble since day 1 when I bought it, yet I still love it so much. I just spent 1000 dollars fixing the AC and I was about to sell it until I saw a fixed up 6gc the other day and it made me think about doing a swap.. So my question is, do you think I should spend 6500 on a 3rd Gen 3sgte swap (and send the car to XAT Racing in Florida) or should I sell my car and spend the money on a 7th Gen gt-s 6 speed? There are positives and negatives about each choice but I'm just looking for some feedback before I make the wrong decision. Can someone help me out with my decision?? The 6th Gen is sexier, but the 7th gen has more aftermarket availability. Any opinions on what I should do? By the way, I've already contacted XAT and I can get the swap done in Aug. if I decide to do so. -Rob -------------------- ![]() |

Depends on what you want. A 3SGTE swap will give you MUCH more power and potential, plus I personally love the look of the 6th gen over the 7th gen. But that's me.
Also I would suggest not insisting on a 3rd gen 3SGTE since when you upgrade it you're going to replace all that stuff anyway, save the money and get a 2nd gen. And I could do it for you as well if you're interested. On the other hand, a 7th gen will be newer... and that's about all the good I have to say about that. -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
