I don't know loroku, they're both good cars but if I had to choose AWD and Turbocharged seems like the best way to go.

as long as you are responsible with your car, id say dsm all the way, just dont cut corners... and watch the transmission, they can last, but ive found slamming gears and mitsu trannys are bad news together..

Both have their pros and cons, and both cars can be great in the right hands. Yep definitely a hard choice. I personally would get the Nissan.

I assume you mean a GSX, not a GXS.

I would pick the Eclipse over the S13, merely because everyone and their brother has a 240 nowadays....theyre becoming the new civic amongst ricers.

i think the 1g's, 94 and under, had a 6 bolt vs. a 7 bolt in the 2g's, 95 to 99...... the 6bolt is better at avoiding crank walk (which by buddy just experienced in his 410awhp 7bolt 98 gsx, which now has 6bolt pushing a very conservative 20psi at well over 400awhp)  not to mention i love the 94 body style.  but i would guess 2k-4k depending on condition of the 1g.

i actually think they changed from 6bolt to 7bolt mid year in a early 2g body style.... but im not that sure...
