Which do you like better?
The first gen 3000's or the second, and how come?

The second by far. I'll stick with the differences on the VR4s since those are the ones that I bought.
I'm not a fan of the flip up lights. The molding looks smoother on the second generation. The six speed over the five. The (I know its minor) the added 20hp. The SPYDER ![]()

Re: Which do you like better?
I like the 2nd gen 97-98 look the best.
For 1st gen I like the look of the stealth better. hum, wonder why I own a 92 RT/TT and a 98 SL

Re: Which do you like better?
yeah 2nd gen, IMHO, for the looks, the 4 bolt main(not all first gens have the 2 bolts, but 91-92 do), the 6spd trannys, improved transfer cases, the extra 20hp (although that can be turned up with a boost controller). And chances are they will have fewer miles. As well as dsm said, 96+ can be datalogged, then again, the 91-93 you can monitor knock. So that could go either way.. But all in all, i think the benefits are on the 2nd gens side.

Re: Which do you like better?
I dunno wat every one goin on about??? I think the 1st generation look WELL SEXY, the flip up lights turn it from a family looking car into a sports car, just my opinion. Also i'm really keen on the vents infront of the front wheels,give it a very angry look about it and the side skirts look well tidy!

I wish I could sort of blend all of the years into my ideal 3KGT. Here are some of the best elements in various years:
91-93 black "ribs" in rear bumper 94 glass headlights 94+ 6 speeds in VR4 96ish 18 in VR4 chrome wheels 94-98 rear center garnish with round backup lamps in body color housing 94-96 front bumper with the nicely divided openings in the sides 99 front bumper huge opening in the center 94+projector lamps with matching fogs 94-96 Infinity sound with 6 disc 91-96 rear spoiler which is signature 3000GT....the latter ones were too much of an Eclipse/Supra knock off and looked cheap on the car while the 99 VR4 was over the top and was bad because there was no active aero offered that year. If they'd built a 3000GT with all of those elements it would be the best year IMHO. |

the best possible would be a first gen with a 99 wing, or a 2nd gen with active aero spoiler and 99 headlights and front bumper. one is smooth and sleek all around and one is exotic and more "in your face" all around. if i had to pick a stock year it would be first gens, they get mistaken for a ferrari all the time

your not lying about that, so many people have told me they thought it was a ferrari at first.

Yeah, I agree with you both. The first gens are less rounded than the other gens, and definetly has some of the same characteristics of a Ferarri. The second gens have more of a sleek look to them. They're more rounded because of the new bumpers, headlights, and sideskirts. Definetly both are nice, but I would prefer the first gen just because of my personality. Im out.
