What state are you in? There is a 96 VTiR for 12,500 in Vic. Damn cheap if you ask me.. Remember, k's dont mean much if the car has been maintained properly
Dude, it really depends on what you want out of your car. The VTiR IS faster in a straight line and has great aftermarket support. My basic argument is that both GSi and VTiR look similar, have similar functions and options and the only real difference is in the engine bay ("Series I" GSi and VTiR Integra variants are more similar than "Series II"). I've driven both GSi and VTiR, and while the VTiR feels great and is an awesome car/engine to drive, I really haven't got many complaints with my stock GSi either.
Good luck with your search.
Btw, I'm not a great driver, and my GSi isn't exceptionally fast. Far from it. In fact, I just think some of my VTEC-equipped competitors in the past haven't been quite familiar enough with their machinery (and "misc." reasons...). We won't even start on the cars that HAVE kicked my arse...*shame* ops:
i'll second the "getting your ass kicked" .. then again, a turbo'd calais isn't exactly used for taking the shopping home .. more like taking my ass home :P
much of a muchness... if you think you can feel the 20-odd missing kw in the 6k-8k range then you might preffer the vti-r.
if you aren't the type to wring the motors guts out, save the money and get a gsi.
My GSi puts out a mighty 67.5kw on a dyno dynamics dyno... (you'll have to ask Dyno Dave regarding the settings)... Intake/catback and clutch eh? Interesting... lol
