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 and vtir's are much more rare on the market...
If u r a real Honda "fanatk", don't waste yr time on GSi.
Just take both for a test drive and u'll find out what i mean.
PS. don't forget to scream the VTiR to 8K. 8) 8) 8)

i know ur gonna get a virtual slap for being ignorant.......
awaiting *teh might of the b18b* to appear.....
honestly.... u want a car quick off teh mark... get a gsi....
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.

Errr......they are both quick off the mark. Its just that Jon's mighty GSI is DAMNN quick off the mark.
The vti-r is quicker full stop.
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...
but i was comparing the two to each other.
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
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...
