I'll put it simply. Buy a VRX. It's about $10,000 cheaper, and it has the same power output of 175kw at the engine, and looks just as good. The only 380 model I'd ever consider buying would be the VRX. It's the best priced of the lot considering what it gives. I've driven the 380 and I thought it was great, VERY smooth. Only disllike I had about the car was the lack of headroom in the backseats. My head was crushed up against the roof. If you want specifics of the models, go to the Mitsubishi website, redbook.com.au , or carsales.com.au

Equipment levels basically, you just about have every option on a GT. The GT is auto only, and has some colours that cant be had on a VR-X. It has the following over the VR-X :
1) Leather Seats, with Driver 10 way adjustable power seat, with 3 sitting position memory.
2) Automatic Transmission Only
3) Sunroof
4) Has hands free bluetooth kit.
5) Interior trims are 'slate' mahogany, instead of a plastic pattern.
6)It has different 17 inch rims
The GT is 8000 dollars more expensive auto to auto, If you want a manual you will have to get a VR-X, and option it up,click here for the pricing of the 380 models (http://www.mitsubishi-motors.com.au/mitssite/jsp/pages/vehicles/specs/specs.jsp?groupId=30) . The only thing you cant option in are the memory power seats, and items 5 and 6. Also visit Colour Chart for 380 (http://www.mitsubishi-motors.com.au/mitssite/jsp/pages/vehicles/colours/colours.jsp?groupId=30), that might impact your choice depending on what colour you want.
As for pace, a manual 380 VR-X, will be faster then the GT due to
1)Better Gear Ratios for Acceleration
2)The manual VR-X is about 70 Kgs lighter.
Power is the same across all models.

The GT is more luxurious and a bit nicer in general.. however if you buy a VRX with a sunroof and leather seats then you are that close in specification to a GT its not funny, and you save a few bucks. The VRX is better value for sure
