hey was up im new here and im thinking about buying an integra, but im not sure which one to buy the Ls or the Gsr what do you guys think.

 

gsr = more horsepower, premium fuel, all of them are standard trannsmisions, also 1 more ft/lb of torque


my guess is (not sure though) gsr is higher insruance.

 

well, to put it in simple terms the gsr is the better performing version. its set up with a better engine and i beleive it has a sportier suspension set up for better handling. which one should you get depends upon how much money you got really....the ls is going to be cheaper to come by than a gsr, and depending where you are it may be harder to find one than the other. around here (upstate ny) you'll see 25 ls's for every 1 gsr. so if ya got enough $$$ and can find one, buy a gsr if your into performance. and if you got even more money at your disposal go looking for a type r.....

 

Also, bear in mind that the 94-01 GSR and 97-01 Type R models are still very popular targets for auto theft. Expect significantly higher insurance rates, particularly if you are a new driver.

With any Integra, theft is still an issue. So invest in a clutch lock and a quality alarm system with a starter-kill or fuel-pump kill feature. [Check out our Audio & Security forum for more info...]

 

just go for the cleanest car you find. if it's an ls or a gsr, so be it. if you just want something cool to drive, go for the ls, if you really want the extra performance, go for the gsr.

 

:werd: Realistically, the aftermarket support for both models is so vast, you can make either car perform quite well for reasonable money.

 

long run you'll be happier with a really clean ls than with a fucked up gsr. take it from me.

 

yup! well said! I've been happy with my used 1996 LS for 6 years now while my friend's used 98 GSR broke down

 

there you have it. besides, here in cali, premium is almost $4.00/gallon now.

 

im happy as hell with my 1990 ls and i couldnt ask for a better car, all in all i say doesnt matter what model of teg you get, it still a integra....
