    Performance wise? Sell it and buy an SS. My opinion though, wouldn't waste money on a 6 for performance.


    If it isnt tuckin, it must be suckin

    I was just saying from a performance view I wouldn't waste my time on a 6, especially over here where we don't have P plate restrictions and what not.

    But yeah I am a douche when it comes to that.

    Get a couple of these http://www.gmmotorsport.com/gm_image...chev_badge.jpg




    What type of power are you talking aobut? A few more HP or heaps. A few more do the exhaust/CAI/chip. Heaps I would look at getting a SS. Looking at those numbers from the Raptor link posted ^^^ even a mildy tuned (stage 1 mods) N/A GENIII will out perform it, and sound heaps nicer doing it.

    Well unfortunately you won't get huge power cheaply from a 6, can still have a nice car though.

    but the ss with no mods is faster then an s-pack with mods =S

    and an s-pack manual isnt far behind the ss in price

    And if you can live with yourself an auto SS with a huge cam, hi stall, OTR, exhaust and tune will make 400hp easy, tough streeter right there.

    You haven't really given much info on kms, condition etc, could be anywhere between 5-10k I reckon.

    Turbos are probably where the powers at for a V6. Either that or an l67 engine transplant. An SS would obviously be a bit cheaper (and easier) to get power out of but there are plenty of options to make your 6 quick as well.

    I would budget 10 grand weather you want to supercharge or turbo it.
