My B16 hatch's have OWNED GSRs. It took a GSR w/ CTR cams, clutch, flywheel, Type R tranny, Fields, i/h/e, FPR just to run w/ my hb that had a B16A3, I/h/e and FPR, I HARDLY saw that a B16 hb is slow. I NEVER lost to a GSR w/ mods when I had my hb and would shoot myself if a stock (I/H/E) GSR beat me...toooooooo many differences.
-A GSR will consistantly walk all over a b16 hatch with equal mods.-
Impossible. Only a POOR driver. That's like saying a GSR that took a 500 lb diet is still slower than the stock GSR.
Hell, for this matter, I've owned a HB w/ an LS engine and a GSR tranny in it, I beat a 6th gen coupe w/a GSR engine in it by probably 1/2 car to a car up to 100 mph...I was depressed because my B16 was MUCH faster than the LS engine in my HB and I could have beat him by much more.
