It comes down to a 94+ GSR/LS/RS, or a 95+ Eclipse GST/GSX. I have a 94' LS and want to get rid of it.

I was in the same situtation about 2 months ago. I did some research as GSX's have some issues. GSX's trannys are weak, and the engine gets crankwalk. Both can be spendy repairs.

Get the GSX - if you have money to spend on repairs and want a fast drag car.
Get a GSR - if you want reliability with no repairs. Its still pretty fast.

I opted with the GSR because I don't have any spare money for repairs.

Why would you get rid of a 94 LS and be considering another 94+ LS/RS?

Be forewarned - The GSX is HELL to maintain, and the GST isn't much better. If you have steady $$$ flow, get the GSX. A friend has a GST and it's expensive as anything I've seen.
If you want reliable transportation and a fun ride, get the GSR.
It's all about how much $$$ you have and will have.

as long as you get a manual car it doesn't matter

LS - turbo that piece
GSR - turbo or allmotor
GST and GSX - upgrade the turbo and intercooler

5th gen or 6th gen hatch with the either b18c or b18b turbo! talk about ***** to the wall fast.. But uh Between your choices, I dunno. I would prolly get the all motor Gsr or turbo Ls.
Another BIG factor to consider is insurance.. You might be able to afford the maintenince on the eclipses but what about the insurance, especially the gsx.
