Depends on what you want. GT is perfect fotr a 3sgte swap, no need in moving tranny mounts or anything. ST you need to move a mount or so. If you need a DD both are good cars the ST and GT. What exactly do you want ? What are your goals ext ?

Id say pick up a GT lower it and put rims on it then. And save and buy a clip for that potent 3s, welcome to 6gc, you'll find lots of into on here and lots of friendlies. and theres only a few sites where you can get aftermarket parts for the 6th gen kinda sucks, the 7th gen has 10x more. and again welcome.

There really isnt any major problems with the 6th gen, try to find one with no rust, and with decent miles. Whats your price range and where do you live. I'll look around for you.

the biggest problem with the 6gc is lack of power in the usdm! good reliable cars though... they hold very pretty well!
