GST vs. GSX

Ok now i might have a chance to get a 1991 eclipse GSX or a 1991 Laser turbo (RST?). I kinda want the GSX but i heard they dont have as much top end speed. How much does it actually loose compared to the FWD turbo. The laser comes with rims (need tires), gauges boost and air fuel, short shifter, blowoff valve, short ram intake, eibach lowering springs, downpipe exhaust, new pads and rotors included. it has tinted windows and a sunroof, he said he changed the oil every 2k miles with mobile one synthetic oil. He thinks a plug wire might be going bad but car still runs fine, it is also missing the front drivers side fender. The GSX Is stock except for lowering springs. Both are the same price $2000 which should i get?

GSX FTW... AWD is always better no matter where you are or what you plan to do with it.

Re: GST vs. GSX

AWD > GST. The loss is minimal, maybe ~5-7 mph tops, but why would you need it to make a difference, it's not like you're going to drive 140 everywhere anyways.
