honestly how much diff between the cars, which one get which off the mark, which one gets the top end trophy? :!:
from stats obviously the vtir, and i can bet the vtir, but by how much?!
or does the vtir only rev out an extra 1k giving it its extra?
im looking to buy one or the other, i want a vtir :) ... but i can afford a gsi easier :D and vtir's are much more rare on the market...
what yr teg are ya lookin at gettin?
somewhere between 94-97 (series 1) or 98-01 (series 2)
Series 1:
GSi:
no airbag
no abs
~107kW
Vti-R:
Drivers side airbag
abs
~125kW
Series 2:
GSi:
same power as above
drivers side airbag
abs
Vti-R:
same power as above
2 airbags
abs
theres more diff between the 2, but i can't be bothered typing any more :p
If u r a real Honda "fanatk", don't waste yr time on GSi.Quote:

PS. don't forget to scream the VTiR to 8K. 8) 8) 8)
where you from?
theres a number of vtir for sale in vic. you just goota be patient thats all. whatever you do dont rush and buy a car, you'll only end up regretting it
Get the VTi-R.....
or better yet, test drive both - then get the VTi-R.
I was gonna get a '99 VTi-R with 70k on the clock with Cruise Control installed by Honda and shcmick condition, stamps etc for 19k!!!... cos he was depsertae to sell, plus i got it checked out by RACV no faulkts but couldnt sell my car so he sold it to a dealership for 18k.. so very sad right now - i almost cried...
i know ur gonna get a virtual slap for being ignorant.......Quote:

u want a car that has better top end.. get the vtir.
search for other threads, theres been plenty on the differences between the two cars. eg airbags, abs, vtec, aesthetic differences etc.
but for legal everyday driving... the gsi is very sufficient. a lot cheaper, u can rock anyone to the end of second gear (and then drop into forth and slow ur ass down), u got the same bits as the vtir in terms of sunroof, adn everything, so its all good.
vtir, is just the goodness of the vtec stigma (which i must admit, i do have). u get loads of more top end power, but top end power is jsut encouragin illegal activities of hi speeds, lol.

Stop wit the fussing and get a Type R!! :x
Errr......they are both quick off the mark. Its just that Jon's mighty GSI is DAMNN quick off the mark.Quote:

Both are similar spec at low-mid RPM, but the vti-r has an edge due to better head flow AND higher compression.
sorry winnie master...Quote:

so with that said. both cars are REALLY quick. IMO the gsi is very under-rated, and can be quicker off the mark than the vti-r model.
it all comes down to ur driving skills. so practise that ;).
There is a thread similar to this one if you do a search.
IMO, the VTi-R wins hands down. Don't bother with the GSi, i honestly don't think it is worth it. If you are thinking about performance, why buy a model that really wasn't designed to be a performance car? I'm not taking a swipe at GSi owners either (so don't get too hot headed).
i used to own a 93 crx, so ive been down the 8k redline 100's of times...
i know with my old crx, bottom end wasnt too good...
so im take it a gsi has better pick up at bottom end and vtir is better top end? thats what i thought anyway :D
cant spend to much looking at 10-12k atm, and a gsi is more within reach!
and i know diff feature and stats wise, just wanted some opinions from experiences...
