gsx over gs-t

[intelligence27]

hey guys i wanted to know, besides the take off what advantages does the gsx have over the gs-t? are their any disadvantages? tanx. just curious cuz i have a gs-t and im getting a bit disallusioned.

[boosting20psi]

well yes there is some advantages and disadvatages. the advantages you have alot better corner. you all around get better traction in every thing you do. but a gsx weights alot more than a gst i have driven both and i dis like the gst, but that is probale becuse i have a gsx

[GSX88]

gst have better acceleration from a roll but from a stand still, the gsx is better

[BoostedSpyder]

traction is one of them, but with, say, a Quaife Limited Slip, some suspension, and good tires you can still get pretty good 60' et's [still won't be as good as a GSX]. insurance also considers all wheel drive 'safer'

[smokeurass]

From a roll a gst would beat gsx if both are stock. Its only cuz the car is lighter, understand that. Dont waist your money on a gst, youll end up sellin it.

Understand "drivetrain loss".

dont waste money on a gst?? fwd turbo just isnt enough i guess

Essentially,

From a stop light, GSX wins.
On the highway, GST wins.

AWD is nice.

the gst has that torque steer thingy cus of its fwd...damn my bad im not sure if thats right i forgot the name of it!! someone correct me if im wrong

[gs-t spyder]

if you want a hell of a launch go with the gsx i wish id have one but dont do a clutch up gread id leave the stock clutch or if needed to be replaced ever dont upgrade much because you will drop the trans because the all wheel drive needs something to slip some and the tires do not let it much but they are slower in a long run drag like tord the end of the 1/4 mile but will deffenetly make that up at the launch.

i want to highway race and drag race...i want a fast car...so at 80 mph on the highway i will floor it and really take off...but i also want a car thats good at the stop light...what should i get?

[Chavez408]

like said before the gsx is much better from a stop light cus of its AWD, but the gst is much better on highway races cus its lighter and is FWD either car is good to me but i preffere a gsx.

so those r the options on the eclipse so its up to u what ur taste is. is it from stop light to stop light or to just tease other cars on the road doing 50 +?


ps: sorry if u cant understand me or read what im writin or if i didnt give enought info but my left hand is broken with a full cast and it sucks and someimes i dont check what i write

Get a RWD

[JoeWagon]

MR2 Turbo

[AcesHigh]

Yes, RWD is the goodness of both. And while AWD has a better launch than RWD, the RWD will quickly catch up and blast off into the distance at higher speeds.

I'd agree, get an 92-94 MR2 Turbo.
