3sgte worth it?, thinkin of doin a swap Options

[RbrtNdrws]

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.

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.

hey dr tweak imin the same boatas rob!asa matter of fact, we live near each other, and havemet. rob, contactme i have a placethatwill do the swap for about 4600- the gt4 clip is 2500. if you have a manual and a gt it should be cheaper. i have the st and itsan auto. so i have to pay for a manual conversion i will email u for your phone number. the place is on sharon amity off of harris blvd. its called psi motorsports.thoseguys are really cool and laidback, its ahang out spot too so u can drop in anytime. they live there lol. but dr tweak are you saying that the 2nd gen isstronger and better? i always thought that the 3rd gen was 250hp. maybe wrong. i talked to lagos and he was giving me some words of wisdom. like doing it would turn you into a mechanic and you willhave alot of problems, but im thinking its worth it, even though it will be my daily driver,im not looking to be super fast, just good enough to beat all of those damn hondas that flood charlotte ALL THE TIME. im sure rob feels my pain dontcha rob?
