GSX vs GS-T

I was just wondering how big of a difference there is between the GSX and the GS-T i know they are both turboed only the GSX is AWD and GS-T is FWD i am looking to buy a GSX but if i can't find one should i settle for a GS-T or just keep looking.

Re: GSX vs GS-T

The GST is an advantage in the higher speeds, but the GSX is alot faster on Take off. But still pretty much the same, welcome to AF.

Re: GSX vs GS-T

AWD all the way! ..but FF cars can still be badass. I've seen some really hardcore front-wheel cars around.

Re: GSX vs GS-T

what about as far as suspension are they the same and everything like that. i drive a FWD car now in my integra i've never driven an AWD car is there a really noticable dif b/c i have heard from some people to go with AWD but than some ppl say there isn't too much of a diff. also how much does a GSX and a GS-T in good condition go for say like a 95 or around there

Re: GSX vs GS-T

AWD always > FWD

Believe me man, once you launch an AWD you'll know why you are never going to get a FWD again . I would get a 90-92, they have the stronger 6 bolt engine, 90-91 look sweet as hell, cheap, and cheap to mod. A 12 second timeslip is not out of reach for someone with $3000 to buy and mod a car with if they shop around and get a 1g AWD. Mine costed <$1000 with a big 16g and EPROM ecu and in fairly good shape (minimal rust, like 4 door dings in the whol car, nice interior). EDMUND65 as had really good luck, he has owned 3 1g AWD's in the last couple months each for less than $500. Suspension is different between the FWD's and AWD's and obviously there will be a bit more squat on a AWD due to, well, the AWDness of the car, but they both should handle about the same (I think).

Re: GSX vs GS-T

AWD > GST....Honestly, if you take into account the difference between the two at high speeds because that's about the only place the GST is better than the GSX (and it's still not even that much of a difference), you might as well just get the GST because who drives 100+ for more than a minute?

A good condition STOCK 95 GST/GSX would be around 5k, that's about a fair price. Anything below 4k would be a steal and anything above 6k would be a bit high, unless it's in absolutley immaculate condition.

Alright, that's about enough of the brainwashing

NY91, don't listen to thor, he's just ridiculously obsessed with the 1G. Definitely go with the 2g, WAY sexier than the 1g (in your face thor)

Re: GSX vs GS-T

I got lucky and got mine for $4500 and it was only 2 miles from my house. AWD is the only way to go imo. If you want anything over 300hp then fwd just wont cut it.

Re: GSX vs GS-T

Hey shut up gthomson . What ever you do, DONT GET A 93-94! In addition to being butt fucking ugly, they have 7 bolts.

Seriously though, if it is going to be a daily driver I would get a 2gb (97-99). Man they are sexy. You could get a 95-96 too and just do a 97-99 conversion. If it is going to be a purpose built track car I'd go 90-91 for sure.
