Well, a GSX is real nice, but it is so rare to find a decent one for sale. It seems to me that nissan makes a lot better products than mitsubishi, but thats an opinion. As far as handling, the 240 had a 50/50 weight distribution ratio, can't get any better than that, but I'm not sure how the AWD setup on the GSX compares to it. Assuming you want a 97-98, you could probably get the car and the swap for the same price as a stock GSX of the same year or a little newer. At that point they would probably perform the same in the 1/4, in the 14's I believe. I know I'm showing my bias when I say I think a 97-98 240 looks better all around and has more presence than a GSX, but I had to throw it in there. As far as suspension goes, I heard the eclipses are a bitch to get a good suspension setup on there, and they cost tons of money. Another thing, if you got a GSX, you could never peel out, never drift, or anything like that. 240s can do that all day long. Just something to think about, hope I helped some.
