Less power goes to the wheels though with awd. So when a gs-t and a gsx are stock the traction difference isnt as large as it would be if you had say, 300hp, so once they both get outta first gearthe gs-t will take it.

so if they both had 16g's and fmic and injectors and pumps and all the other lil things the gsx would be better even tho it loses power thru the drive train? i dont know there is something about the gsx that compells me to buy it but i love how fast my gst spools up on the highway or free way. i am pretty sure i will just keep my gst for now and hopefully upgrade to an evo down the line when im making alot more money thanks guys for all your help sebba too.

Well flat out, the GST wont hook up at all.... my guess is that the GST will over take the GSX at about 100mph. Purely because of weight and drivetrain loss

thats what i thought if you have enough track the gst would come back i was pretty sure the gsx would whoop *** off the line but if you had enough track the gst would come back. thanks for all your input what do you guys like more the gst or gsx?

im almost willing to bet just about everyone on here would like the gsx better... the awd drivetrain can withstand a lot more horsepower, because then you dont have to worry about traction issues like sebba said

i've got a gsx and a friend of mine has a gst, personally i think the gsx just feels a lot more solid on the ground, well it is so that would explain it, but i love the awd, i'm spoiled now.

No they dont make GSX spyders. Some have converted them... but at a HUGE cost
