Mikesta21, purchasing a vehicle is no small undertaking. you seem to know very little concerning the integra, and their different motors, what the car is built for etc.

first off, do some homework, their is a plethora of information covering this topic not only on this website, but all over the net.

it all depends on how much racing your actually going to do, how much money you plan to invest. yes the gsr is better hands down. but thats like comparing a stock WRX to an STI, they use different things to get different results. the LS is a good motor and car for everyday driving and a good investment if you plan to build it up in the future. their is a REASON the gsr is more expensive. their IS a REASON people spend the extra money to get one when they could go 2g's cheaper and get an LS.

the GSR comes from the factory geared towards people who have speed and fun factor in their minds opposed to simple cheap town car.

a little logic and common sense might have saved you some time here man, just read up, good luck purchasing your car, but dont let EGO get in the way! get a car that you can maintain with your budget.
