Ya i would love a gsr but as of now theres no gsrs onautotrader so which would u get? ls or gs? (is there another one besides type r?)

in the fact, im a lil confused, did it say the ls/gs is better for turbos then a gsr?

personally i think the GSR is better for boost....the higher compression compensates for the loss of low end power...there are stock engine GSRs that are making 300-350whp. Keep looking around and eventually you'll find a GSR.....i did!

He's talking about a boosted GS-R and the power the stock internals can handle.


But the only differences between the LS and RS are the different standard features and options.

ls gs and rs have the same motor...just different options so lets say one might have power windows and the other one wont...so there may be a slight difference in weight

GS is fully loaded, same as GS-R minus the more powerful engine.
RS is base model
LS is between RS and GS

go to www.edmunds.com (http://www.edmunds.com) click the year you're looking for and look at all the specs (like weight) and features.

what are you planning to do do the car?? If you're going to boost, i would look for a GSR. Otherwise just get any of them, but i would prefer the LS over the other 2....

RS/LS/GS all have the same drivetrain, i.e. same engine, same tranny, etc. Just different options such as power windows, wheels, color trim, cruise, etc.






PS: I believe the RS model was dropped somewhere mid 90's so don't try and find a 2001 RS because I don't believe it will happen.

Why would you prefer an LS? thats just silly. I'm sure the price difference between a GS and an LS is minimal. And if you tell me weight savings i'll slap you:icon16:.

EDIT: GS over the rest just because of the options you can get....i wrote the wrong model earlier....

I would try get the Special Edition GS too because i think they have a sunroof....

what's your budget for the car and all the stuff you put into it?? Boost isn't cheap!

Bboy_Jon

well im gonna spend 3-5 k on the car itself and then ya i know itll take a few months to save up for a turbo :(

but ya my friend was telling me it would be bad to put a turbo in a car with over 100k miles, is that true? cuz alot of the cars in my range are around 100k-120k+

it depends on the compression and leakdown test...if you boost a car that isnt in great condition, you're asking for problems

rs is basically a type r without the motor or the suspension. Its that light

Ls is coo

Gs is an ls with leather
