uhhh lol the gsx would annilate the gst simply because you can rev to 5-6 grand dump the clutch and be gone lol, ahh, the joys of AWD lol, but if you tried to do this with a GST you would do nothing but sit there and Spin the tires off the rims.. GST = FWD :sly: GSX = Fast lol but hey if your good at working the clutch you could beat a gsx, mabey, as long as it was a Automatic or the driver was a noob lmao.. and btw, i really dont see any need for a cold air intake because you have a intercooler... and both are already turbo

oh yeah heres a tip, get a nitrous bottle, have it filled with Co2 and have it rigged up to shoot CO2 into your intercooler, this will super cool the air going into your intercooler, giveing you more hp, btw only use this while dragging because it WILL run out, also this will not dammage your engine in any way :grinno:

but by how many car lengths will the gsx win in the 1320. Alos wont the gst beat the gsx on the highway due to the weight difference.
Thanks for the reply

a gsx is only a little bit heavier than a gst so the gst would not be goin very much faster on the highway. probably barely noticeable.

What are you guys smoking? The reason that a GS-T would beat a GSX on the highway has nothing to do with weight. The GST has less friction getting power to the wheels (drivetrain loss).
Also, some people need to learn how to type (and/or speak english)... no offense

Average difference for stock DSms is half a second between the two. Some poeple get it down to 3-4 tenths behind. This is like 1 or 2 car lengths at most. At high HP though, the GSX can be SECONDS faster. Traction is key. And the difference between the two on the highway is negligible. The GSX is a bit heavier, and has slightly more drivetrain loss, but it is also geared lower. No one ever seems to mention that ;) I have yet to lose to any FWD on the highway. :iceslolan

it may be quicker off the line, but at least you wont have as many probs with your drive train with a gst gsx's are bad at killing the tranny

Any car will kill it's tranny if you pump enough HP/Torque thru it tho.
My 4G63 AWD is still stock, and I'm not worried about the transmission giving up, just the clutch burning out, so I try to refrain from hard launches :D
It's still hard to beat me from the lights tho ;)

i been looking around online for 1/4 mile times on both trims and they are the same everywhere, give or take like a tenth of a second on both cars. yeah gsx would start of first cuz of its traction but the gst would pull better on top end, and for 1/4 mile they come out about even

They are FAR from even in the quarter. Stock GSX will do 14.8 to 15.0, while the FWD does mid 15s. I'll explain why. This FWDs pull better on the top end is all bs. The AWDs have lower gear ratios, countering thier extra weight (200 lbs). If you look at 60' times you'll see where the advantage lies. Every tenth you take off your 60' is at least 2 tenths taken off your ET. Even stock AWDs can pull some lazy 1.8s wth good driving, 1.9s for your average joe, while the best FWD drivers I've seen on street tires do 2.2-2.3s. And thats rare. 2.4 and upis MUCH more common. So best case scenario, 3 tenths difference. Thats a half second difference. And thats what it works out to at the track... ;) Also, I've raced similarly modded FWDs on the highway and the difference is neglegible. My experience, your mileage may vary ;)
