I wanted a GSR BAAD, but i couldnt find one just like you that wasnt beat to ****. I bought a '95 RS, and its pretty much stock besides my suspension mods and and i'm happy with it. I'm finishing up my turbo kit right now, and a turbo LS is MUCH funner than a GSR with bolt-ons IMO. so no, no regrets here

i looked for more than a year before i found a car, but was lucky enough to find a GSR, but i woulda been happy enough with a LS. i still plan on boosting, no matter whichever i was to get, i just wanted a B-series engine.

Don't settle, you will be pissed that you didn't wait. I found my GSR after about 3 weeks of hunting around and it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Low mileage, stock, and had factory warranty.

i wanted a goddamn gsr but ended up buying an ls in good shape. Although i am thinking of either a turbo or just quitting the game. Too much money.

I saved up from 3 jobs while simaltaneously searching for my gsr for damn near 2 years 'fore findin' mine. My parents spent the money from my first two jobs of sonic and chuckee cheese, which was about 1500$. I finally found my current job at 18 as a valet and saved up 3k and found a 97 gsr with only 55k for only 8100$. Woulda had a system too, but some damn thieves stole it before the guy actually sold it to me...
