I looove AWD. I would've gotten a GSX if i could have gotten the same condition my GS-T is in with the same amount of miles.
(53 on engine, turbo, and tranny 114 on body)
The only GSX's that i found that were around for sale needed a lot of work which i can't afford at the moment. Someday maybe.

I have to agree anout the gears. I race a buddy of mine's WRX (i know, don't compare evos and wrxs). anyway, i beat him at the light, but he cought up and passed me. His wrx has a muffler, so it's 90% stock. didn't beat me by a huge distance though

AWD should always win from a stop or always have the advantage. from a roll AWD is no so hot. it isnt the gearing it is the power loss to move all the extra drivetrain.

and Player69 that is actually the only race I have lost that I can think of off the top of my head

if I had the $ to get shyt done to it I would in a heartbeat... I'm kinda close to broke and the car don't run right at the moment. I told you what it's doing didn't I? The sputtering and sounding like it's got backfire at about 3K and the fact that I KNOW it's missing on at least 1 cylinder and have no idea how close the stock boost guage is....

Like your DRs I think I will pull on you slightly till you hit spool up at like 4500RPMs then ill be smoked you know I have faster spool up MUHAHAHA... no ill get smoked pretty bad its bull I need my 42r then we car race and we can put in the turbo and you can pretend you dont know I have it and ill keep saying its my friends car he has a 42r not me just so happens we share the same lisence plates too
