I'm looking for a new car and trying to sell mine, my question is whether or not a type r or a GSR would suit me best, i would like to turbo either one, in the long run which will do me best, i will also be autocrossing occasionally

what is the difference btw a type R and a GSR?

About 30 hp

Turbo on the autocross is basically worthless. A Type R will stay with a boosted anything on the track. If you are going boost, please use the GSR and save the Type R's for the NA tuners.

Type R for autocrossing...GSR for turbo...I agree.

I think GSR has 170hp and the Type R has like 197hp

What do you mean by autocrossing?

There is more than just a 30hp difference, you have the LSD, shorter gears, nicer interior (carbon fiber), more rpm range, Better exhaust, better suspension, Better brakes, better wheels etc.

The type R is a nice car and is great for autox:bigthumb:

Theres nothing wrong turbo'ing they type r. Just upgrade the fuel and ignition and get it TUNED! You'll be just as fast on low boost then someone boosting higher then you.

but it this way, r going to autocross more or just drag race
if your going to autocross then get the type r
if your going to drag get the grs and turbo it

i have a type R and it has great handining, ive taken a lot of cars that could smoke me in a drag race on a windy road. i would really like to autocross it too. a lot of ppl underestemat the type R

let me know what you get

The difference between the type r and gsr is that the type r has 500more rpm,a better valvetrain,more compression,they are lighter,and abut 30 more HP. If you're going to turbocharge it i would go with the gsr because of its lower compression and it costs less too.
