Default Oh hi, newb to this forum here, would like some input on the 3's

I'm in the market for a new ride. I really have liked the 3's since they came out. I can never leave my cars alone, the last 3 cars I've owned except for my truck (Even that one wasn't left totally alone) have had over 500 to the wheels. My 99 Eclipse turbo, 97 Blown Z, and my H/C/Juiced 99' LS1. I am wondering if I should go ahead and spend the extra on the Speed 3 or just get the Sport one. I won't be doing a whole lot to this car, I have to settle down some, but, bolt on's are a good bet, and stereo.

I get'em for stupid cheap w/the way my companys benefits work so I could probably walk out paying 25K for a SPeed, or 23ish for a decked out Sport.

Ya'll learn me something...

Get the speed...If your previous cars had that much power, you'd be disappointed with the regular 3

If i know where you're comming from yea do what i did. Realize the loaded 3 is only a few large less than a loaded Pocket Rocket and get a GT MS3. Think S-plan.

Speed 3 is superior in every way (not just HP)

Speed3 starts out way ahead in handling so you don't have to modify the suspension. Seats are firmer. Seems to me it uses a lot more gas, though, even if you're fairly gentle with it.
