Need help with ideas!!!

GSX should be faSter due to traction....from a rolling start or the freeway, both are almost equal.

[MitsuGrl2002]

lol no I need to stick to a 2003 or newer if I want to trade mine in...I had my eyes on a really nice 2003 GTS, only 15,000 miles...on eBay, but the seller won't write me back =(

[eclipsed4utoo]

why would you need to stick to a 2003 or newer??

[MitsuGrl2002]

Well, I prefer the newer ones...I'd rather get a newer one, drive it for a while and upgrade again. I like the body style of the 3rd generations, they're sleek and modern =) I love the 2nd gen's as well but I like how the 3rds handle and...I just like them lol

....interesting....

[MitsuGrl2002]

Well, you seem to like the 2003's as well =)

[eclipsed4utoo]

i love my 2003 but i would trade it in for a GST or a GSX anyday

[Sleepr awd]

a GST or GSX w/ the same mileage....

yeah!

[gotti123]

dont pay the extra money that you are going to pay for the gts.....just turbo your 4 cylinder....that shit could end up killing stock gts'

[MitsuGrl2002]

I would but I'd rather supercharge than turbo and I can't afford a supercharger

[MitsuGrl2002]

I'm looking into selling my car now, KBB says its worth 14,670 so if i look for a 2003 gts for 15,000 I wont have to pay much more, and I'm finding quite a lot of them for 15,000

[MitsuGrl2002]

and definately with less mileage than mine currently! I'm at almost 40 grand and I'm finding a lot of gts's with like, 15 or 20 on them

the possibilities are endless once you go turbo. U control everything. Boost, air/fuel, BOV and pressure... its fun, plain and simple, and turbocharged cars can be made extrememly fast too for a relitively small amount of money... ESPECIALLY 2Gs with the 4G63, which is, by the way, today the most powerful production inline 4 banger ever made (source: BBC top gear, car= mitsu Evo).

Wanting a newer car for the sake of a newer car is fine, but you can make an older car practically new also.... there is nothing that cant be made to look or preform better on older cars.

If you just want a 3G, go for it...though every car under the sun can be modded to nuts, its all about the cost effectiveness ratio. And the 4G63 can be made very fast with minimal mods and minimal green....a manual boost controller @ 15psi, a boost gauge, a dump tube hack, BCS removal, K&N intake, and IC pipes with a 1G BOV or GReddy can cost as little as under $450, with everything else stock, you'll whallop the shit out of 90% of the cars on the road. I have exaclty the same mods as above, and my car is a rocket....people swear im running a 16G. Oh yeah, the you get into bigger turbos...then you are officially pimpin.

KBB lies to you, mine's worth something like 13k now and i have the car int he sig below, you have to check the trade value which most likely won't be much mor than 10k if you kept your car really clean

[MitsuGrl2002]

well I called the local dealership here and they gave me the selling price of 14,067 and told me it was from KBB, which I checked on and thats what I came up with there as well...I went to edmunds.com and they stated $13,094 so, as long as that seems to be where the market is around here, i'm going to try to get as much as I can for her so I won't have to fork out so much for the upgrade =)
