Hey all, looking at buying an SS. Just wondering whether i should get the Gen 3 VT/VX SS, or save the money (for mods) and buy the 5Ltr VT SS? Which would be the better option? Is it worth spending the extra on the Gen 3, or saving the money and modding the 5 Ltr more heavily? Just looking for some opinions

i think you have a choice power or sound, gen 3's have more power stock, but i think that a 5.0L sounds waay beastier! but thats my opinion

It Depends on your budget.


You can pick up a 5L quite cheap, but they are a very heavy car to be powered by a 5L (VS is better power-weight)


My choice, save the money on the GenIII, and spend that on a top mount supercharger (the one that replaces the manifold, not those gay side mount things). Then you'll have the better exhaust note (nothing will ever beat the sound of a 5L) aswell as the power to boot a GenIII if needed
