MrFatBooty, don't forget the side moldings on the Gen 2 have VTEC printed on the side instead of the DOHC. Also, most of the GSR's had center arm rests.
All Acura from 92-95 has OBD1 This would include the G2 GS-R as it was made in 92-93. None OBD Acura's are 91 and older and some of the better engine management systems need the OBD1 so we have to convert to use them.
I agree about the GSR intake but the B18c1 has much more torque than the B17a and that funky manifold has at least a little to do with that.
For someone used to the torque of a Mustang the GS-R will feel very slow as it has very little torque and what it does have is high rpm. G2's can be built to outrun stock 5.0 Mustangs in the 1/4 mile but they still won't "feel" as fast as one.

My buddy who lives across the street has a 93 GSR, and swap it out for a H22. It was funny, but now it's just scarey, that was until I got drive my brother stang. The GSR was quick, but my buddy told me that for serious mods, it would be more cost effective for the swap(than again he did the swap himself). As for you mustang, it's way more fun to drive, and the only thing you won't past is a gas station. For racing Ricers, it's good, but don't try racing any serious guys.

I have to disagree. With some mods, and a turbo, nitrous, or supercharger setup, he would be racing nice cars. I don't race ricers, i look for the muscle cars, like mustangs. What kind of mustang do you have? if its a 5.0 its more then likely a foxbody stang. They are not exaclty fast or anything. But a gsr on the other hand, is not any faster. But if you like drive above normal speeds on backroads like do, then you might like a car that has some nice handling capablilities.

If i were you i would get a 95 - 99 integra ls ans turbo it. those engines can handle alot of power. And that would be a nice, fast car.

I'm pretty sure my old '92 GS had adjusable bolsters. :dunno:

The armrest was a dealer option in my GS, probably the same with the GS-R.
