Ok... its still an awesome car. What models dont have the AWS? Wel i have given my reasons for buying a modded one... its going to take a little more than just a personal preferance to get me to change my mind. Obviously if i had 20+k to drop into a stock car... and spend 10k modding it sure i would do it... but i dont. I have like 20k total.

like i said ur opinion. im not arguing with u about things lasting. im just saying that its all about preferance with these cars. theres no best model. they were all basically the same speed and quickness, with exeption to the 96 or 97 model which was probably the fastest. the 91 to 93 started it all and is awesome bc of that. the 94 and 95 came out with a hard top convertable vr-4 and sl. and the 98 and 99 are cool bc they're rare. all the models were cool in their own way, but you can't say one sucked or they all sucked and this one was the best bc ur wrong. its not true. its all about preferance.

i think the the 91 vr-4 looks every bit as good as the 99
and the 99 is stilla 2nd gen for those that don't know....3si for the most recognises that there is 2 generations of the 3000gt....91-93 and 94-99...and the 91-95 had active aero btw.
Also yall are forgetting bout the stleath R/T/TT They are cheaper and look damn good...

So your telling me the 1G models are well built? those motors are pretty bad man same with the 5spd in the VR4. They spin bearings way to easy granted they upgraded the bottom end in the 2G model. All I was saying is looks wise and rarness Id only buy a 99 I never said anything about the 99 being superior to the others it is the same car it just looks better and is more rare than other years except 98.
Sebba I wasnt telling you what to do I was saying what I would do. when you buy a car modded you never know how they were put together. atleast when you do it you know exactly what it where how it is put together. and you know that atleast if the car was driven hard its not putting out alot of power so it cant be to beat.

No im fine lol... Im just saying yes My opinion is for the 99 BUT the 1G are not built well I know for a fact. I have seen first hand what distrution a 1G motor can do when it spins a bearing We have a 1G motor sitting in our shop right now metal shavings every where ect ect. The 2Gs are alot better so are the drivetrains they are awsome cars to drive very smooth good mix of comfort and power.
I just would only buy a 99 but thats me.

I am not forgetting the stealth I love the 1G stealth actually. I would actually take a stealth over a 3000 unless I could get a 99 3000GT. 94-99 switched to the 6spd and better bottom end. I think all of the stealths were R\T TT AWD AWS and only some VR4s had the AWS maybe be wrong but eh well

you got more time than you think. You just want to buy a car for the wrong reasons man and I would say that is just your age because I used to think the same exact thing.... I read threw that thread you posted to and something about that guy seemed very very shady too. The car looks nice the engine bay was a mess (lots of mods but looked like a mess) and he seemed hessitant to give usefull info on the car.
Its just a way better feeling to take pride knowing you built what you own not someone else.
Do you know how many people ask if I did the work on my EVO? I love saying yes about it, I love saying it was stock when I took it home and I have paid nobody for any of the mods to be put on. Its a good feeling. Id feel like an idiot saying nah man I bought the car this way. I think my problem with that is the fact that EVERONE who buys a car premodded just has no clue what is what. and alot of people(not sayin you cause I know you will) dont even bother to research anything they are getting into.

I think it is more cost effective. You have no idea how $$$$$ NESpeed has spent just fixing and replacing all the hacked stuff in the rx7 and he still isnt even close to being done and he has owned the car for 3 years now.

I know i dont understand why people dont make an attempt to preserve the awesomeness of it. The secret is spray grease or WD40... that stuff keeps the firt and crap off (its a solvant) and keeps it lookin gooooood.
If in fact i do end up picking this car up i will most likely do a little clean up on it. Tidy the wireing up a lil etc...
