ahh, mitsubishi with their interference valve engines, if the timing goes off too much the pistons hit the valves and **** up the engine.
my cousin had a 1995 gsx and it was always breaking down(went thru two transmission's in 3 years), he got rid of it and got a 2002 IS300(nothing like the 2JZ engine) sure it was fast and looked pretty good but come on, a japanese designed car built by americans(chrysler)
as for the wrx, its not bad except for the fact that IT IS BUT FACED UGLY. isnt it around 230hp stock? and lets not forget that is is 4door and has a station wagon form(a true sports car comes in one form and that is 2door coupe/hatchback)
having a turboed car gives a great advantage but not by much, all engines are based on the same principle and all can be turboed. and when both cars are turboed, there is no replacement for displacement(well, if you turbo the stock 240 engine 2.4 liter) it will always make more hp and torque than a 2.0 liter engine at the same boost
besides, put a 1994-1998 celica gt4 next to a gsx and a wrx and it will own them both. better quality than the gsx and more power than both. and imo a much better looking car than the wrx and looks as good as an eclipse(also comes in only one form)
OH, and another thing.
the eclipse GST is faster than the GSX and handles almost as well. stick that in you pipe and smoke it. AWD is good for rally and launches, after that it is pretty much dead weight
