Being an owner of both, I prefer the DSM (talon) as a DD and ease of modifying, but the 3s (stealth) is a fun car for cruising with. But if you don't fab stuff the cost of just parts is $ compared to a DSM. Look at
http://www.3sxperformance.com/ for some examples of parts cost, granted it's new parts.
A note though: A stealth would be cheaper than a 3000gt because of the domestic name badge, same goes for the insurance. BTW A 2g stealth with a 99 VR4 bumper = hawtness.
