Your transmission will last longer in the Integra than the DSM, hehehe.

Realistically though, stock for stock the GS-T is going to be faster in a straightline but I'd be willing to bet that the Integra is going to out handle it.

The benefit of the GS-T, is of course, it's 2.0L and Turbo. It takes to mods quite a bit better than the Integra will, as far as making more power - but again, you have reliability issues with DSM's; especially in their transmissions.

We're definitely biased here, but I'd stay away from the GS-T. I was looking at a GS-T before I moved into the Integra and after finding out all of the problems DSM's seem to have, I am extremely glad I didn't. The money you save on repairs can be put to mods to the Integra to make it more on par with the GS-T as far as straight-line speed.

Just my 0.02...

Do you live in an area where auto theft or vandalism is a problem? Both cars are sure to attract a lot of attention, especially the Integra.
