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.
