hey so im lookin to get a 2.8 in about 2-3 months (hopefully sooner).. i understand theres a little power difference but ive seen its like 20hp difference. so is that really the only difference? i feel like theres more of the 12v selling and i wanna know if theres a difference in like reliability or anything. and is 20 hp even that much of a diff?? please share your knowledge thanks guys!

 

30v... hands down..

12v= no mods.
30v= plenty of mods and superchargers

 

yeah but i dont wanna tamper with any real performance stuff so any mods i really do is probably gonna be for looks sorry i dont think a asked clearly like is there anything besides mods or a little power that should make me get the 30 instead?

get the 30v. its a newer engine and probably easier to get the parts and what not...

 

12v's are slugs, but they are super reliable...if you are going for looks, the only upside to the 12v is that it comes with a euro trunk...

I would go for a 30v...just a lot peppier car...besides that, depending on what year you get you will end up with facelift tail lights and if you get new enough you'll also end up with one piece headlights...

it's pretty easy to make either car look amazing, just make sure you buy one with all of its service records and amazing paint without any body damage....

gl!

 

okay thanks yeah im looking for 12v vs 30v. not 1.8t vs 2.8. keep the input coming if you dont mind thanks

 

and thanks quattroa4 i just saw what you said thats exactly the thing im lookin for
