this is one reason why I don't suggest going gen2. The price difference is only a little bit less compared to the gen3, and the stock rating for gen2 is the same as gen1. Gen1 can be found for $1800 or less, and it is rated the same as gen2. I know Gen1 doesn't come with LSD, but the LSD tranny can be found for around 600 w/ axle. Anyways, my point here is that stock for stock you get more for the money with the Gen3 compared to the Gen2.

Making more power isn't for racing?
gotta agree with ken on this one. Even though I drag race here and there, I main purpose for more power was just for the fun of it.

I think the problem with the direction this discussion has gone, is an absence of ACTUAL numbers.
well, i had posted up the cost of my genI swap which was $2800 installed. If i would to swap the motor myself, it would have cost me $1600 for the rear clip.

my order of engine choice.
1. GenI
2. GenIII (have the money for it)
3. V6 Swap (have the money for it, and another car)
