1997 GS is an FWD car.... and gs is a non turbo car with 140 horse power... it is a good car... if u maintain it properly u wont have much trouble...

[dwrock1]

thank you, whats the most powerful AWD drive 97 eclipse called and about how much will it cost

[anarchy1114]

the gsx is the strongest and the only awd, its also a turbo and just like with the gs if you maintain it right you shouldn't have to many problems. and cost just depends on milage, location, modifications and such . just look around try www.autotrader.com , www.dsmtrader.com , www.ebaymotors.com still just depends on what you want to do with it and such

i wanted to buy a nice quick eclipse that i could modify a little bit to compete with the "american cars" at the local race track, i need to take care of some camaros and stangs

[95eclipse-gsx]

1997 eclipse GSX is the powerfull one... it is turbo charged all wheel drive... with 210 horsepower... for a 1997 gsx the price might be anywhere between 7000 - 13000 dollars depending upon the condition and aslo the mods done by the previous owner... just like the anarchy111 said.. wat do u need a car for??? show ? race? daily driver? or delivary boy ( me )??? tell us wat u want to do with ur car and also how much money u can afford???

[dwrock1]

i dont really have to have a 97, i will take older, i want a GSX that will fit in my price range of 6000-8000 that is in fairly good condtion

[95eclipse-gsx]

ya for that price u surely can find a gsx.. and if u have a gsx.. u need to spend around 1300-2000 dollars in mods and u can run 12 seconds... this is wat i heard...

[anarchy1114]

check around for the best prices. look for one locally in the papers and auto dealers and then also check around on places like www.autotrader.com , www.dsmtrader.com ,www.ebaymotors.com . i'm sure if you look around hard enough you'll find one for that price but it depends on stuff like milage , ect.

[dwrock1]

i also heard that the AWD models have a Drive-terian problems with too much power is that true and is it easily fixed?

[anarchy1114]

heres 2 97 ngsx's i found on ebay. heres the links so you can look into them more http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6352 , http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6352 and they r both under 8 grand

[dwrock1]

GST whats so special about that one

[95eclipse-gsx]

gsx and gst have the same engine 4g63 and they both are turbo charged cars with 210hp.... but gst is a front wheel drive and gsx is an all wheel drive...

[anarchy1114]

its a turbo fwd....nothin to special

[dwrock1]
