Well,
The Integra GS-R is a quick car. I would say it handles on par with your SVT you have 30 more horses and alot more torque. The GS-R is around 3-400 lbs lighter thus more nimble. In other words a good run in the hands of a good driver. But the differences from the GS-R and the type are like the SE compaired to the SVT and more because they did alot of redesign of the unibody to stiffen it up and the limited slip!
What were you thinking about short of springs that would take you out of G-Stock? Not Alot of stuff you can put on a SVT to make it "THAT MUCH FASTER" if you really get to the meat of it. You already have the fussy stuff I am going to buy! You can run the Koni's ,Race tires on 16" wheels your airbox is already trick, you can't ouch from the t-body back and from the cat back if you can ugrade? I think about what guys are doing to their cars would only hurt your torque , you have a fair airbox you can do any exaust mods from cat back and the only thing I can thing I can think about is the a set of lowering springs! Which does make a difference. As usual not sure it is a coin flip.
next year is STS we will have a trick 92 civic si with an Integra GS-R engine (Keith from the pits) a couple of VW GTI's from novice that we already kill. A 99 Impreza who gets me by 2 seconds on a 60 second course (should take him next year after mods) a couple of brothers in a 90 BERRETA I can take them now.
The only thing is if the Neon, ACR guy's drop from DS because of the GS type R ?
and any "SMALL TURBO" cars that may show up?
We have two months! The debate goes on and NO RECOUNTS!

Hey Just wanted to make clear I am not trying to talk you out of STS. It is like the old saying goes the grass is always greener on other side. I have the SE and trying to make it a SVT and you have the SVT and not sure what to do with it! You have a GREAT CAR and it will be a top runner in either class. STS is not as mature as G-Stock. G-stock has a larger pool of drivers.
who compete in divisional and national events giving you a good gage on your efforts. I would rather run in G-Stock and eat Camaro's all day long. To make my car competitive would bump me from class. So I do not have a choice on class. You do have a competitive car stock and you showed it two Sundays ago when you beat Andrew in the F-Stock Camaro. He runs good against FS cars now and these FS cars ran upper pack at nationals! So you are in good shape as you are. Again size up what you want to do to
with the car and see what cars are fielded next year. Hey talk is cheap! I'll yack shop with you all day! It is a good debate!
