3800 Pick your favorite

[3800SC98]

Not so sure about the color of the 40th anniversary but I begin to like it, gray seems a bit more attractive to me on the Daytona 500 edition.

a GTX would be perfect but those are just hard to get a hand on now a days.

Some input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

40th looks better IMO. Needs some rims, but I think the interior and exterior blow away the 2000 Daytonas.

I'm not exactly impartial, but.... well, you can guess.

I agree though, the 40th rims don't do it for me. I'm not into big rims - I'd rather find lightweight rims - but I'm looking for a good set of 17's to replace the stockers.

What's different about the GTX that you prefer?

Full GTX package would give me some extra HP, "Ram-Air" hood, and the SLP spoiler which is different than 40th and 500 packages.

oh and better looking wheels, than the 40th at least.

I'm bias, but I would go with the Daytona. However, if you are planning on getting the 2000 daytona, then get the 40th anniversary. I don't like the silver, or the rims on the 2000 daytona.......I have a '98 daytona.

i hope you dont actually think a hood and spoiler help HP.

im thinking in the same boat as CJ,
98 daytona>40th>2000 daytona

98 daytona>40th>2000 daytona
[/b]

:iagree:

My friennds mom had a 40th and thats what made me want a GP in the first place.

Although as far as interiors go i'd put 98 daytonas last, hardly anything different from a typical GP.

that being said if anybody ever see's a set 2000 daytona seats for sale, LET ME KNOW.
Since there are only 2000 of them, i doubt i'll ever really get that chance.

I have a 98' Daytona... I hate the color. I'd take anything other than this color (and Bronzemist).

 

[Fish]

I have to agree. ^^ That blue is overrated yet people love it.

No, the full GTX/GTP package came with a 3.5 pulley and few other goodies to support it.


If anything I was trying to go with a '02 in any of those two models.

when i gets old and faded and starts looking alot more teel i agree.

but when its still very BLUE its awesome.

I like the color the most at night shortly after I washed/waxed it.

not quite sure if this is what you were saying, but if you want an '02, then both daytona's are out for you. They made a '98 (blue) and '00 (silver) They were only those two years, and only in those colors. I'm not sure about the 40th anniversary.



Kyle, you have a point about the color fade, however, the Meguires NXT wax seems to bring it up a bit after a good buff.

FYI not all GTXs came with 3.5 pulleys. FWIW. Also if your gonna mod that is a stupid thing to do. Pay more for a GTX just for asthetics and a 3.5 when you can buy everything cheaper and a MPS.

 

[Sinister Drag Designs]

exactly, ive never seen a GTX that had the slp pulley with it. not that ive seen thousands in person, but im pretty sure most only have the hood/airbox,spoiler, rims, and tips.

any one have production numbers of any of these cars?
i think that will give you more of an idea if you even have a chance of finding the exact car with those features.

 

[Fish]

You could get one from SLP with the 3.5. Ive never seen many though.

 

[Mike K]

I don't know... My paint's in great shape. I just don't like the color. If we end up hacking the rear off the car I'm going to have it repainted.

 

[Kyle]

if you hate it so much mike wanna sell the center caps and interior door panels?

The 40th's only came in Dark Cherry Metallic as fas as I know, and they were obviously only offered in 2002.

Daytona!

I've already tried to get the door panels off of him, I need the daytona emblem on the inside of the drivers door.

Well the only good one I've found so far is a 02 40th coupe with 50K in Ohio. Almost a 4 hour drive.

Still debating on it, and would hate to drive that far just to see a car.
