You still haven't answered what your budget is. Is money not an object at all? I highly doubt that since you're talking about used cars here.

Usually most people look at what they can actually afford before they buy something. You've mentioned such a wide year range of cars and that also means a wide price range.

Okay so is $10k what you have in total, or what you have to spend on the car?

when honda comes out with a stock turbo car then you might be able to talk down on eclipses. but, you will still loose even against the new dodge neon you guys dont stand a chance. i just love it when people try to compare honda to mitsubishi are lowest end car the mirage will still whipp up on honda . go to the toy store and get some more stickers for your honda you're gonna need them if you race against a real car instead of a lego snaptogether none self fabicating autozone freak show car.
gsr what does that stand for <guttless stupid ride>? oh well not my pride that shows 19's at the track

Hmmm... well I'm a little biased on which car I like better...

But in a straight line;
stock for stock: GS-T
Equal amounts of money into each: GS-T

Handling: I've never owned an Integra so I can't say for sure. I did own two CRX HFs with B16 swaps while I was in college. Those cars with springs/shocks stut bars and 215/40/16 tires didn't handle as well as my spyder did stock with a good tire(G-Force on stock 16 wheels), granted the spyder GS-T does have a stiffer sub-frame than the hard top GS-T. I can't honestly compair the integra as far as handling though.

I think the initial question was which would win in a straight line and the GS-T would dominate.

As for the "Damn i have to tune again" sub topic. That comment comes from the Apexi SAFC users only(which are most DSMers). Maf-Translator (me), VPC, DSMLink, AEM EMS, and standalone users don't have this problem unless they make large changes like turbo swaps.
I don't feel like explaining the reasons but if any one here knows the reasons behind the Kv style MAS + SAFC tps/rpm point tuning method needing adjustment with different temperature(density hint hint) air, feel free to school some people and squash some reliability myths.
