Stazi, so which is faster? I mean I know the GSX will tear it up from a stop (it is AWD right?) but which car is actually faster just running down the street or on the highway?
I swapped cars with my buddy back in 2003 for a couple of hours. He had a stock 2002 330HP firebird with about 15K miles on it and I drove it for about 4 hours while he drove my turbo 3L on 6psi. It was interesting. Very similar performance. He missed the low-end take off grunt/traction of his firebird but loved the acceleration/passing power of my car as well as the handling. I noticed that mine felt a bit stronger at 6 psi on the highway and totally outhandled the firebird, but from a stop I couldn't touch it on the launch. So it was a nice fast car but the engine is the only really nice thing about it. My car killed it in every other category (visibility, braking, shifting handling, etc.)
So I wonder, which car is actually better in all categories, which one is more fun to drive. Which is more practical.
Your 2.5 turbo or your GSX?
