I understand now - well the thing is if $ is a factor the gsx will not be a cheap car to not only purchase but maintain - I mean the 4g63t (the motor in it) is capable of alot of stuff with basic bolt ons but it's also known for "crank walk" in the 7bolts (post 92 dsms) - so reliablility is not the strength of dsms - but power definetly is - insurance will be high for it I'll tell you that right now - and gas of course as I've mentioned b4 is premium only so it's definetly not your cheapest choice but compared to a 5.0L mustang or z28 Idk - power wise probably same potential - but domestics will be easier to maintain - gas will be the same off even though you can prob run unleaded in them, they'll get prob around 15mpg I'd guess but don't quote me on that one I don't really know - All I can say is you should look for a good deal - if you need anything lmk my aim is Sokolator09 I can help you out.
