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.

if i have the money for the 3rd gen, why not go for it? I'd rather have 250 hp than the 2nd gen motor which i think has around 200 right?

For the same reasons Dr. tweak said.

Parts availability was my number 1 reason. The 2nd gen 3s is in the mr2t and it is also in the 5th gen all trac. So parts will be much easier to get.
