u think it would be worth the investment to trade my 99 ls for a 98 up gsr? also why do u think....besides power

 

depends on the condition, mileage, accident/repair history, etc...

From an insurance perspective, you might pay more for the GSR versus the LS.

 

my 99 ls has 70k clicks....i would of course trade for a gsr with 40 k or less....and in really good condition good history...wut u think

 

i guess the real question is would it be worth it for 30 more hp and that grueling vtec sound? and leather...lol

 

That sound is not the vtec, it is the sound of the secondary runners opening up on the intake manifold.

 

well if the car is in good condition and low miles, then y not?? if its a strate trade anyway. if ur adding cash on top of that, well then that would depend on how much cash.

 

dont the primary ones open at 4800? or am i wrong?.......also i would have to put at least 2 g's down to make up for my negative equity....wut u think?

 

damn there are sooo many discussions that lead to when vtec kicks in, and when the secondaries open lets stick back to the mans trade in huh? IMO if your car is stock then yea, i'd trade it in for the gsr. If i had put money and time into my car I wouldnt want to trade it in for another.

well thats the thing ive put a good amount of money in mine but most of the stuff i can re use on a 98up tegra gsr...some i cant...i would just have to sell that junk,,,but most of my stuff is re useable

 

People just like busting ***** here on h-t. We all knew what he was talking about by saying "grueling sound of vtec" but of course someone has to throw in their smartass comment. That sound IS actually because of vtec. If you had NO vtec and your secondaries opened up it would not sound like that, not as mean as while in vtec.

But yea get the gsr dude, you won't regret it. I found my 97 with 44k miles for 11,500. Perfect condition inside and out, leather int, factory maintained, still under warranty. $1500 later I have a 98-01 front and rear with the optional kit and R lip.

 

get the GSR.

 

VTEC is your friend, unless you wanna go F.I. if so, then stick with the lower C/R of the LS motor.

 

have u guys drive both a ls a nd gsr in stock form? did u feel a big difference? mostly on the freeway though huh? i dunno why i tuned my ls for high end but it still pulls

 

wait.. so you can trade an LS with 70k on it, for a GS-R with lower mileage on it...i dont get it. What's the problem?

 

im talkin about trading in....to the dealer...financing..u know? or i could get a complete jdm gsr swap for 3800$????labor included
