If you're going for looks, I'd say GSR...If you like civics, go the other way...or do the best of both worlds and swap a GSR/hype R INTO a civic...really personal preference--on looks alone, I like the Integra...for a breakfast blend of looks and not much more power, do up the swap...
civic has a B16 ( 1.6 litres )
GSR has a B18 (1.8 litres )
Both about 180 hp, the GSR will get you 10-12 ft/lbs more torque...
main difference in the engines is the rpm range...civic ( B16 ) rev's higher, GSR ( B18 )has more low end...
In reference to which is 'faster', it's more about the driver's ability, rather than the car's.
Now the GSR will be more 'luxurious' ( I use this term loosely, they're both hondas ) than the civic, i.e. a little more insulation, so not as much road noise, and 'sport inspired' suspension; but, again, not much difference since they're almost the same car, just the bodies are different...
I just realized that I didn't help in anyway...if anything, I just made your decision harder...
Although I would say a GSR swapped civic has more potential to be a super sleeper...people out of the scene expect Integras to be fast because they cost more

I like the popularity of the 00 Civic Si, it's the most popular civic out there. as for the Integra the style hasn't changed much from 95-2001. Power wise, I'd take the GSR. One con about the 2000 Si, it's more likely to get stolen.

^^GSR is a Type R with lower compression / slightly different valve train / cams and intake manifold--basicaly you can turn a GSR into a type R for the price of the type R swap...you just have to know where to look for parts...
And the K-series swaps are becoming more and more popular every day...quite a few k-swapped cars on here already!!!
I want a K24 for a turbo project...guy in houston has one...512 WHEEL HP on a STOCK engine!!!!!!!!!
thought that the B16 revve'd like a grand more??
ah, I like GSR's better, and the civic is more likely to get stolen...
