thats what i was thinking, they might be a couple of hp less and .5 sec slower 0-60 but i think aircon and being 5 years younger is swaying me to the sport. are they just as easy to upgrade engine components and clutch etc with it being the ecotec? im after spending a few hundred on the engine when i get one.. is it best to start with manifolds n cams or is there a better way to get a bit more power easier? cheers

Welcome.

Get a V/W plate sport, GSi kit - best of both worlds.
