<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">So i am in the market for a new car and i want to research it as much as possible and I really like the look of the mitsubishi eclipse 1998-1999 models. I found out that the two models that perform the best are the GS-T and GSX. Correct me if i am wrong on this. Also what is the difference between these and the "spyder" series. The GSX only has 140 hp which is same as GS-T although i have heard arguements from both sides saying one is fast than the other. THe GSX is all wheel drive whereas the GS-t is only front, obviously the GSX will be betterin thesnow and rain but otherwhisewhat are the advantages/disadvantages of eachand where does the "spyder" series fit in here? thanks.</FONT>

okay, heres the lowdown.</P>


there is not a GSX spyder. there is only a GST spyder, which is (as you said) a turbo, front wheel drive model. the GSX is all wheel drive, and only available in coupe form.</P>


all the turbo cars have 210 HP with a manual transaxle, 205 with an automatic.</P>


the 140 hp version is the non-turbo version (the eclipse RS and eclipse GS) which is actually a chrysler powertrain. the chrysler engine is nearly an exact copy of a Neon powertrain, with some slight changes.</P>


And in any condition, an all wheel drive vehical will outperform a front drive vehical due to the front drivers tendency to understeer. the only advantage the front driver has is its lighter and cheaper.</P>

in case you don't know the gsx is all wheel drive.. making it a great car in all conditions... street,track,rain, snow.......i drive a 98 gsx... and i will never go back to a front wheel drive.. </P>


in my opinion the gsx is much better, just depends on what your doing with the car....</P>
