GSX is preferable, but you aren't going to be able to get one cheap...so few and so desirable. you will pay all the money for one, but the flip side is that you can ask all the money when you sell it if it is clean

I have a '99 GS-T and I'm thinking about getting the coupler to make the axle a limited slip one but with that I don't think the GS-X will have that huge of an advantage off the line..It will out-maneuver the GS-T in cornering though, duhhh I guess LOL...But seriously, I have no problems launching quickly out of the gun with my GS-T and have been extremely happy with it.

Well as always when racing, Power is no good without traction. With a GST you are limited to around 350 hp to the wheels with proper modification to drive train before you just can't grip. With the GSX you can overcome the weight with power not to mention the far superior launches at your disposal because the car just claws it's way up to speed. If you only have 9G good luck finding a 99 that isn't thrashed. Either get an older model or save your cash a little longer. GSX is worth the wait.

Indeed....GSXs are all the money...don't spend $9,000 to be only 10% satisfied when another $300-$4000 will make you 100% satisfied.

But are you running 350hp at the wheels? and it doesn't really matter what you do to the front axle, all your weight gets sent to the rear of the car during acceleration and the gst will spin while the gsx just claws it's way to the finish. I love both cars(don't get me wrong), the GSX and AWD in general is superior for launching.
