I think in the long run you would be happy you got the Ep3. I know that it is a whole lot of car for the money from the engine to chassis to the seat and interior its a great car. I am sure the GSR is very fast, but I know you can always make the EP3 as fast if not faster. Drop a turbo in and you will never look back. I recomend getting an EP3 getting 16inch wheel, then put some nice Progress springs or new coil overs like Tein, to make it handle well, then take care of speed with a short ram intake, hondata and then if you have any money left headers and exhaust. you'd be screamin then. take it easy...

Just one more question for you... how many miles do you have on the GSR, do you expect any probs with it in the near future, or is it running strong.

Well it really all depends on whether you need it or not. If it keeps you happy then just stay with it.

What will you be doing with the GSR, selling it, trading in? I say get the EP only if you can afford to keep both cars. I bet you've poured your heart n' soul into your GSR and selling it wouldn't be worth it.
