Which engine is superior and in what way? Im debating on buying a 1997 240sx LE w/ LSD or a 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX AWD.

well my 2cents

i love GSXes (i have a s13 kadet), eclipses are only worth getting awd turbo imo.

but the feeling the kadet gives when you hit boost is the best. im sure gsxes will give 240s a serious run, but imo nothing beats the full high torque rwd driving experience an s chassis can deliver.

in the end its up to you, i think they are both great cars, and if you like awd better then go ahead, i think ill stick with my s13 for a while.

i would love a high boost 2.5rs though

question is do you have the money to get the 4g63 up to date mechanically wise if you don't you'll have a expensive lawn ornament
