I think that is the difference because that is how it is with the 99 and such. The manual transmission put out 210 and the automatic transmission put out 205.

RSX's interior are better, and even though I know the turbo is pushing a lot of HP now, a turbo car is not ideal for someone who's new to driving. Plus it's safer, that could be your biggest selling point.
Zeroday, even though I think the RSX will still be valued more down the road, GSX's hold their value because they are pretty rare today and like everyone's saying, great cars to mod with AWD. At least when I was looking at them people were asking a good deal of money for them. I would even say they could hold their value almost as well as a Supra.

Normaly, hp rating are based on the flywheel. So, automatic or manual should have no affect on the numbers.

My son will be driving in 3 short years and I'm already considering what to get him. (I'm considering the Civic, Sentra and Tiburon -- My son's considering the Prelude, Eclipse GST/X, ITR)

Id kill for a GS-T or a GSX.
I also own a 3000gt thats going on 125k miles and isnt having any troubles.
But if this is your first car, youll kill yourself.
I had a civic and i still managed to almost kill myself a couple times
some mitsubishi's tend to cause you to become a mechanic...
I love my mitsubishi.

I'm almost embarrassed to say this but, there's a shop over here in Central NJ (Raritan) that is selling a replica GST of The Fast and the Furious Eclipse for $15G. I thought of getting it as a showcar but thought better of it.
