Re: gst or gsx

you know the difference. we can't tell you what you want more. if you want to make more than 300hp, you'll complain about not having AWD.

Re: gst or gsx

yea i think everyone on this forum would choose a gsx....i wish i did, but i settled for second best gst....but be aware that it is extremely hard to find a gsx with your preference of color, low miles, and not modified.....at least it was for me!

AWD all the damn way. while its true they are hard to find without a lot of miles. there are plenty of 1G's (around here anyway) with no mods. for excellent prices. I know alot of tuners just like the 2g body better, I'm one of them but ,turbo awd for around $1500. sign me up

Re: gst or gsx

ACTUALLY depends on what you want. A GS-T spyder with an LSD can put down sizeable power without going all over the track, and makes a nice cruiser with good speed... if you want to race race race, then ofcourse a GSX... here in CA a spyder is a nice thing to have, thats why i didnt trade my GS spyder for a GSX...

Re: gst or gsx

Yea, Shpyder is right. Go with what your instincts tell you you'll enjoy most. If you live in CA or FL or TX or someplace where it's nice for most of the year, and you want a drop top, go with the spyder. For me, if I'd found a spyder instead of a tsi awd with the mileage, condition, and price of my talon, I would have probably bought it instead.

If you're going to go fwd, a spyder is not a bad way to do it!

Re: gst or gsx

Better at what? You people aren't specific. It's better at TRACTION, which would probably be better in the winter, I think.

dont know what highway speed your talking about but my gsx eats gst's daily here in south fl. if you want a nice car to go cruising get a convert gst... if you want a fast car all around but a gsx.

convert gst is nice and has the speed along with the coolness of having a convertable.

gsx is just damn fast ... off the line and on the highway. No GST owner who has driven a GSX will tell you to buy a GST over a GSX for performance.

GST convert is a good buy... GST coupe is waste of money when you could find a GSX on autotrader.com or cars.com for the same money and its just all around a better handling, faster car.
