Gigastar · July 5th, 2011, 05:01 PM

I did like a runaway bride and left the GT SE at the altar, As much as I would love the GT SE, I simply cannot depart with my GS, this car has saved my ass so many times, I already know its paces in shifting, and I remember how hard I worked to afford the down payment to get it in the first place, it became more then a car to me lol. You guys think I must be crazy as hell.

forsworn71 · July 5th, 2011, 05:04 PM

DUDE!!!! You gotta get a GT man!!! Especially if you have the ability and opportunity!!! I had already welcomed you into the family and everything too =( Dont get cold feet haha your down payment and everything is being transferred to the new car. Imagine all your mods on the GT now and having some UMF behind the sexiness

having GO and SHOW

joeyb · July 5th, 2011, 05:10 PM

naw I think it's cool that you like the GS that much. there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the GS! it's a sweet little car. if you don't race and don't plan to run from the cops, then what is the point of a GT? if you don't need the power, keep the GS!! if you want a turbo, you can boost up the GS and there you go!

Gigastar · July 5th, 2011, 05:12 PM

lol thanks Joey, good to know I am not crazy, but yeah, I dont plan to do any racing or cop running, just want a sweet little car with some power. and I like the idea that I can mess around with it and make it a beast of a GS.

Gigastar · July 5th, 2011, 05:15 PM

forsworn71 nah, for some reason when I sat in the car, as I looked and drove it, the car did not vibe with me. the funny thing is my GS feels so much faster.

Gigastar · July 5th, 2011, 05:15 PM

ACTUALLY I MIGHT GET A GT!!! next year after the wedding and give my fiancee/ future wife my GS.

DustinH · July 5th, 2011, 05:23 PM

Welcome back hahaha

forsworn71 · July 5th, 2011, 05:46 PM

Hahahahaha I knew it wasnt out of your mind completely

TrainerZak · July 5th, 2011, 06:00 PM

like said before, your down payment is being transferred over anyway. you don't have to run from the cops to buy a gt, but can, haha. maybe it feels weird at first because you're not used to it, but the first time your doing 60mph and throw it into 3rd, crank it to 84mph and throw it into 4th to about 112mph, you say,"damn! I should of got one of these a long time ago" just my opinion, but I don't know why you wouldn't want something better if it's available.

randman · July 5th, 2011, 06:19 PM

Techno Viking is lurking.....lolz

Gigastar · July 5th, 2011, 06:44 PM

lmfao what randman? I could not abandon my car, I have not given up the idea of a GT, simply stating I am gonna wait till after my wedding, then I can be one of the few elite members with 2 4G eclipses a GT and a GS. plus as Techno Viking says

Ricoswave · July 5th, 2011, 08:47 PM

I was ok with it until you said the GS felt faster than the GT. You lost me there hahah.

randman · July 5th, 2011, 08:53 PM

Just fuckin with you man do what you gotta do!

haladafs · July 5th, 2011, 09:04 PM

I agree with how you feel, I don't know if I could part with my car. I could certainly buy another one though

it may have just been the car itself, but It honestly was slower then my car, it may have been a shitty car overall or needed a tune up.

muscles · July 5th, 2011, 09:08 PM

ha after all of that talk about switching over to a gt! eh its all good though, idk how you thought the gt felt slower then the gs though...

Yeah but when it came crunch time, I seriously could not give my car up, as for the GT being slower, I shift pretty effectively, I dont shift usually till I hit 2800 RPM's and at the most 3000RPM's but the GT was sluggish, and it took alot longer for me to get up to speed.

you have to go a little bit higher then that to hit mivec. I mean the gt weighs a little bit more then the gs however you should of still felt a better acceleration then on the gs. But who knows maybe the gt wasn't up to par

haladafs · July 5th, 2011, 09:26 PM

how did you not floor it lol?

Let me simply say this, from the stop light, I was beating in acceleration by a fucking beetle,I was pushing it too and it would not take off. thats probably what put the final straw and I did not want to take it. I was aware of the weight difference but nothing, it felt like I was carrying a anchor behind me.

06gs · July 6th, 2011, 01:08 AM

Im gonna have to say there was something wrong with the car theres no way if you were flooring it it didnt throw you back and the beetle beat you. You sure you werent still in a gs? L

Gigastar · July 6th, 2011, 05:57 AM

hey now my GS can easily kill a beetle or any other car in acceleration from a complete stop

bk3939 · July 6th, 2011, 03:38 PM

Getting smoked by a beetle is unheard of lol. Floor it.. the car will take off!

If I floored that car any further my foot would be in engine. it simply did not take off, regardless, I am happy with my GS, I am gonna work on it to make it a GS-Turbo.

ironwolf37 · July 25th, 2011, 08:52 PM

Crap, I can't floor my GT at a light . The smoke would be way to thick to
See where the hell I was going. serious------

Gigastar · July 27th, 2011, 04:59 PM

not even, with my GS if I floor it, my tires will spin out a bit and will squeal..that GT was well... lame as fuck, it felt like the car was depressed and did not really enjoy moving anymore.

jarhead0321usmc · July 27th, 2011, 05:33 PM

Haha you drove a emo GT

FeaRlezZ · July 27th, 2011, 05:47 PM

gloomyshrooms · July 27th, 2011, 06:15 PM

yours might, that GT though was so depressed all it needed to was be pained black cover up one headlight and put on some my chemical romance stickers and it will be an EMO GT

bullet06 · July 27th, 2011, 08:41 PM

Well it sounds like its a good thing you past that one up then. I have a GT but I can feel where your coming from with your gs.

Artemka · July 27th, 2011, 09:15 PM

I'm sure it was shity GT, cuz i test drove spyder GT and that thing was a beast compare to my GS lol

Gigastar · July 28th, 2011, 11:59 PM

I understand a GT is supposed to and is more powerful then my GS but that GT was not, and I am not gonna buy a GT based on name alone, it was probably a GT on it's last legs. In time I will get a GT, but just not now.

Enano89 · July 29th, 2011, 12:59 AM

I respect where your coming from. I love my GS I have NEVER had a major problem just some here and there. And being that this is my first car could not imagine trading it in. That being said i think if i had the chance finacially I would fall in to the dark side with the GT'S

Being searching the Forum to much been hearing so many good things about them.
