WHICH IS BETTER 3000GT OR MKiii

I do know that a modded 3000GT twin turbo will 'kick ass' on a modded MKIII.

I meant, ANY modded MKIII.

As I posted earlier...and this is a true story...

....when I was selling cars at the Dodge dealer back in '99, a guy traded in a 3KGT. I 'test drove' it up on the freeway. I always watch the tach, and stay about 500rpm below redline (I don't want to break 'em.

When getting on the freeway, I went to shift into 3rd just below redline, and glanced at the speedo.............

90 mph. WTF ??? .......

I was doing 90mph just below redline...in 2nd gear....!!!!

I think the car was a 1995 or 96. We gave him $19k trade-in. The car sold that week for $31k.(it wasn't me. darn it, fat commission)

I love my MKIII, and can afford it fine. But some people have lots of $$ to put onto a car, and if going insanely fast is what you want, an MKIII is not it.

To me its about enough power and handling to have fun on the mtn roads, and a really good looking car. To others its about a drag race feeling.

It all comes down to $$$, and how much thrill you can get for it.
