Need Help Deciding

I've been trying to figure out what is better: RSX type-S, Eclipse, 3000GT, Celica, or Tiburon.

Which car's got best 0-60, 1/4 time, overall.

Also, what is better in one car compared to the other.
i.e. I've heard that the Celica has better cornering compared to the RSX because it has a lower center of gravity.

Please help!

Thanks!

Re: Need Help Deciding

The newest 3000GT is nearly 10 years old. It is much heavier and more expensive to insure than all the other cars, but the 3000GT VR4 is by far the fastest.

There's tons of different varieties of eclipse. The '00+ GT is decent. The '95-'99 GST or GSX are great, although unreliable. The GS and RS suck.

The Celica is underpowered but handles pretty well. It's also very expensive to insure despite its mediocre performance.

The RSX-S is also expensive to insure, but it offers a good balance of power, handling, and reliability.

The V6 Tiburon has decent power, but handles lousy and is cheaply built. It's based on a sedan chassis.

Re: Need Help Deciding

I had a friend who was trying to decide between an eclipse and a 3000GT. He told me that the 3000GT was heavy and clumsy in comparison. I think both cars are pretty sweet.

Re: Need Help Deciding

they weight almost the same but the RSX-S has 40 more hp as well as more torque. It is significantly faster in a straight line.
