Hey... I just bought a 93 mx-3 RS and im loving it. Its obviously n ot the fastest car around. I was wondering how they differenciate. Like I really ride mine but its just a 4cyl so it don't go up too fast. I'm wondering if I did a bad thing with getting a RS. I had to change the motor in it and it was kind of a pain. Its running really well now. I'm also thinking of getting a GS to modify. If im gona swap the engine and everything in it should I care about the motor thats in it when I buy it?
I have so much to say but so little time.
cheers
Jason

The 94 and 95 RS are tolerable. 92 and 93 are not, IMO.

Re: how much faster is the V6?
the GS (v6) is 130 hp
92-93 RS are 88 hp
94-95 (and above if you're lucky) are DOHC 105hp
the 4 cylinder can still do the BPT and other engine swaps to make it worthwhile, check out the 4 cyl tech forums

Re: how much faster is the V6?
My friend has a GS and I have a 96 RS. We are both mad convinced that my RS is faster. Obviously it's not, but the shorter gear ratio and angry 4-banger noise make the RS feel just as fast, if it more. Unless you're racing or collecting stats, the RS will do you just fine. 
I wish the RS was as quiet as the GS (HUGE difference) but I honestly perfer the RS feeling. Slightly slower with much better fuel economy...yes please.

Re: how much faster is the V6?
gs and the rs are night and day IMO 
Re: how much faster is the V6?
The GS also has the nicety of being inherently stable (why they made a small v6, because 4-bangers are unstable at higher sizes)
Take a GS into the upper revs and it will sound niiice. Really it is night and day between RS and GS, however they are all good at cornering and agility.

Re: how much faster is the V6?
Actually the GS even has better suspension components.
But as for the speed department I believe the RS runs mid to high 17's
and the GS mid 16's low 17's stock . Correct me if I'm wrong but thats what I thought i read awhile ago .
