Take it from people who have had both, and modded both...

Me
----
1) Stock gen2 with TD06
2) Built gen2 stroker with SB46 and GT28RS
3) Stock Gen3 with GT28RS

The gen3 is better in everyway except possibly peak power potential against the built stroker I had. It's just much smoother, no vacuum leak issues, rock solid idle no matter what, no bucky throttle transitions, EVER... etc..

John Santesson (sp?)
-----------------
1) Built stroker gen2 with SB50 (probably had others before that..)
2) Stock Gen3 with SB50

Has said several times that he prefers the driveability and response of the Gen3, even against his stroker..

Justin311
----------
Several built gen2's (? .. I know he had at LEAST one, and few stock ones)
Gen3 with TD06 on E85..

Justin has said he was definitely impressed with the gen3 and has pursued that engine ever since..

It may not be easy to put into words.. I tried, but it's not like we're a bunch of NA guys who have never had a turbo motor and have to justify our gen3 pricetag... ****... my built gen2 cost me $5500 just for the longblock... my entire gen3 rear halfcut was only $3500.
