Why do people hate on GST's?

Everyone is always hating on the fact that i own a gst, they tell me theres no point in modding a FWD car. I cant stand it, i know the all wheel drive is better, but not a huge amount better. I know for a fact that a gst with proper suspension and weight tuning can run within a sec of an AWD. What do you guy think? Im actually building my gst just to spite all the AWD drivers that always are hating, cars have been functioning just fine on two wheels a lot longer than on four.

Re: Why do people hate on GST's?

Dude, I totally agree with you. I have a Talon TSi FWD, big deal if it aint AWD. AWD is for people who can't drive (jks!)

But yeah, it would be cool to have AWD, but hey FWD is just that much more of a challange in my opinion :-)

yeah, i've had both a GST and GSX... and ppl do think its a waste to mod a gst, but having owned both... i think both cars are a blast to drive... but i do like the launch on the GSX more there's nothing like reving the car up to 5k, dumping the clutch and having NO wheel hop (like a FWD)......ohh yeah and the GSX is way better in the snow.... good luck guys..

Re: Why do people hate on GST's?

All my "friends" say my car has GWD Gay-Wheel-Drive. Bunch of fags that have trucks, God I hate living in montana. Around here you have hicks, not so hicks, "gangbangers"wannabe's, and ricer's. Nothing like seeing lambo doors on a 87 accord.

Re: Why do people hate on GST's?

you live in montana, whereabouts? I am in alberta. And yeah, it is full of ricers!!!

I totally do wish I had an AWD, if for nothing else (as joemathews said) for traction issues. I live in canada and sometimes ice can be wicked gay. Plus I do agree with the launch.

I agree that I would rather have the awd, but fwd is not too bad i guess, it can be fun and a challange

Ppl hating on GS-T's ???

Fact: Most ppl hate because they are jelous!

Also do the ppl who say this have AWD or RWD cars. If they do, then the are only saying that because they own those kinds of cars. If they dont then just tell them to STFU!

Re: Why do people hate on GST's?

well there are pros and cons to both cars. FWD-less weight , less traction, less crap to break.
AWD- more weight, great traction, but when something breaks thats more $$. I wanted a AWD but couldnt find any. I was going to just hold out for a AWD but then i found my gst for only $1000. Iv put may $5k-$6k( that includes a whole new moto) and im very very happy with this FWD. But if you put the LSD in the front and a good suspension and some slicks on the front and the FWD's can launch pretty fu****g hard. But Im going to get me a GSX after I graduate college.

Trrrue! I went out with this guy once and his friends ended up being the Old, Bad Paint Job, Lowrider Club People. Anyway, they have never liked me cause when we had huge meets here I would hang out with the guys with Eclipses, Supras... in other words, way nicer cars than they have. So now that I have a GST they hate me that much more.

If they are so jealous, then maybe they should have bought a nicer car than some POS.

Re: Why do people hate on GST's?

^^^ Well, when you get one (I have faith in ya) see if anyone wants to race you (because you will of course blow them out of the water) and then see what they have to say.

Re: Why do people hate on GST's?

I'm happy with my GS-T, since i can beat most of the hondas and other cars around where I live.
