well the 2003 has a good amount more hp. but imo i would just get my car fixed, or maybe bite the bullet and just get a stroker engine. then you will have a fast 94-98

Thats sorta what i was gonna say too. The more stock hp would be good, but you can do an awful lot to the 97 with $10,750 [sm=gears.gif]

Well if you want more hp, then get the 03, it will last longer and is slightly faster, but remember if you're making payments, then that could be your mod money for the 97. The insurence will be exactly the same for both models.

No not really, because for me a New 05 V6 is just $8 more every six months and a GT is exactly the same.
