Default purchase used gsr or ls?

what are your opinions on purchasing a used integra? i am in the market for one and can't decide between a gsr and a ls. gsr is nice off the bat, but kind of expensive and i would probably only do bolt on's. i gotta say that video of the white teg on the dyno influenced me. it sounded great switching over to vtec. if i bought an ls, on the other hand, i would do the ls/vtec, which would require more time, and money, but would turn out nice in the end. also, it would be cheaper to buy one now.

your opinions?
thanks for readin

Depending on what year the LS and GSR biggest differnce is under the hood. The GSR came with a Front Strut towerbar and a bigger sway bars, but beside that I belive all of the options are the same. My Wifes LS is fun to drive has lots of TQ (compared to the Sol). It all depends on what your long term goals are.

with the costs associated with getting a ls/vtec to run reliably and strong, it would be better off starting off w/ a gsr. trust me.

also remember that insurance on the GSR will be higher.
if you're not looking for incredibly fast, i think the GSR is better, because it'll still cost quite a bit to get a good ls/vtec setup

Amen on that, however if you ever thought about the money saved buying an LS. You would probably have more piece of mind that it wasnt' abused as a gsr, I know its a stereo type but in my experience with people with the "high/fast" model of the car its ragged on.

Also if you ever considered turbo, LS is definatly bang for the buck and easier generally speaking.
