Hello everyone! Newbie here to the site and the 6th gens
I previously own a 5th gen with the 185 swap. I think I want to swap over to the 6th gen chassis because Ive always liked these more. I plan on throwing my 3SGTE in there along with some suspension, simple body kit with wheels etc. Ive been doing alot of searching, but its hard to find a discussion on this. If you guys could post your opinions on this, that would be great! So lets say I wanted to build a full out track car, what chassis would you reccomend? Im asking because I dont know the difference between the 94/95 chassis and the 96-99 chassis. I will be looking for a hatch back, and I do know that the 94/95's have the 2 post spoiler which I do want, but what about any other differences? Suspension wise, motor install...wise. And I know it will be cheaper for me to find a 94/95 chassis rather than a newer one |

Depends on what class you want to race in. If you're going for any mod type of class, the ST coupe is the best bet. It is the lightest of all. I would pick a 94/95 based on the fact that the wiring is going to be simpler, the bumper is cooler, and it's just cheaper. If you can't mod much, the GT coupe/hatch is good. The coupe is lighter, but the hatch lets you play a little more with reinforcements in my opinion. It's probibly still better to go with the coupe though. ST's don't have rear disk, and they have smaller brakes up front. The 3sgte will bolt into the 5sfe easier due to mounts. A 4age will bolt into an ST. The 4age would make a great engine for track use, unless drag. If I was going unlimitied, I would get a coupe ST and put a silvertop 4age in it and brakes from a GT.
