help w/ choosing different car

well i've got it down to 2 final prospects for a different car this summer. my first choice is a '02 subaru wrx, and my second choice is a '97 integra gs-r. i know the wrx is a better car, but i could boost the integra and upgrade brakes and all that because of how cheap a used integra is. i'm looking for both with mileage around 40k (since thats what my civic has) and the wrx is about 15-16k and the integra is about 8-9k with what i've seen...........a few conditions: this car needs to be a daily driver, want a nice sleeper, want it to be fast with mods.

right now i'm leaning towards in integra, but my mind keeps changing back and forth.

Kloverz has a little shameless behaviour in the past

Um, who told you the WRX was the better car????

Stock Vs stock the integra-R will out run a WRX on a Road Course or autocross day in Day out.... WRX's are big heavy boats that (and this is coming from some guys that Race a WRX natioally) needs alot of suspension work Straight out of the box. He actually said that All subarus have bad suspensions (WRX and STi alike) and to be any good for compition it needed to be changed. AWD is good and all but Highly overrated, and in performance applications can actually be a Liability.
