I'm Legal

[x~Underoath~x]

Well guys, today is the day. I am now 18 years old. That means all the tobacco, porn, and lotto tickets I can get my hands on! Just thought I'd let everyone know that. And the plus side, I can finally get a good(better) paying job so I can afford a GST. Mmm. Soon gentlemen...very very soon.

[guitarXgeek]

Very nice. However, if you ever venture down into the good ole' Alabama you won't be able to purchase tobacco products for another year (til you're 19).

no GST go with the GSX man lol

[george536]

No go with the hot looking spyder

[roach2k2]

spyders are hot but awd drive is where its at.

[gen2gst95]

all wheel drive means no burnouts unless you have like 400hp

I got the best of both worlds... Drop top with AWD, although the thing weighs just under 3600 with me in it. A lot of it will be gone, like the a/c and power steering are big ones.

And I've seen GSX's burn them when they are slightly modded, stock motor and turbo, just intercooler pipes, intake and exhaust. Now thats far from 400hp!

AWD means massive drive train loss on the highway. It means about 300 lbs more wieght . AWD means if you get towed then you got $2k+ damage.

Bottom line AWD means a GST will smoke you from a roll or anything but a stop!

Well what can I say, I want a GSX, but they are hard to find, too much $ when you do find them, and all of them seem to be automatics. But if I can find one by the time I hace my mulah saved up, thats what I'm getting. Otherwise... Hello GST your lookin mighty good in my driveway!

[BoostedSpyder]

treefrog you are a moron. please don't spread disease on this site.

who cares about minimal drivetrain loss when you have a 20g at 28psi and keep the tires stuck on the road?


WELCOME TO THE SPYDER WORLD GEORGE!!

No, no, and no. $2k damage if you get towed? What douchebag told you that? NOT TRUE.


While a GST does have slightly less drivetrain loss (not "massive"), the money that the GST has to spend on traction issues will be put to even MORE power on the GSX.


I'm not trying to dog on you FWD guys, but I think TreeFrog has the wrong idea thinking that AWD so many disadvantages. There's a reason FWD is so often referred to as Wrong-wheel drive

Thanks great to have my top down while raping hondas. lol.

I was also thinking of the AWD conversion heard its easier on the spyder than on a hard top. I just my slowly get the parts for it, no rush on it. Untill I get all of them. I was talking to my mechanic. He used to be a porsche mechanic and now he races old bugs at the track. he said he can do it if i had all the parts to it and it isnt alot of custom fabrication.


Also when he was bleeding my clutch and he looked at my turbo he laughed and said his bug's turbo is twice as big.

I'll give you a highway pull in my spyder with the top down and still beat you. If you want to talk about weight... AWD and convertable is heavy as hell.

Sorry Kevin I had to use your quote!

no sorry if you think that but a gsx will smoke a gst all the way threw third, take a long look at it then make a logial statement because even if your rolling your still gonna spin up to 3d, on the highway yes you will " eventually catch up"

[CBURKE]

ok...ok, let's just say i have beat AWD and lost to them. It really don't matter if it's AWD or FWD you better know how to drive'em.

Any way i have a CBR 600 that will put it all down.....j/k
