?95? Eclipse GSX Turbo I was drivin down to my girlfriends house last night at about 8pm, and on this open road, i pull up to a light and see one of my friends from school in his turbo'd (i think its stage 2) eclipse gsx. apparently its pretty quick, being turbo'd and AWD, so he flips a bitch and the light turns green almost immediatelly and we both take off. for being awd, the thing was very slow. he had a jump on me, but only till about 20-25mph. once i hit about 95, i slow down and let him catch up again, to try from a roll. its a big open road, why not. so he catches up and his friend in the passenger seat counts down, when he hits 0 we both step on it, i only had to get up to about 75 till there was football fields between us...we pull over and talk and i guess his 3rd gear is fucked up 
right...
right...

Not to defend them but.......DSM always have alot of trans problems with added power, and other owners beating on the car etc...
FYI DSMs are far from ricers, most only care about power and track times and dont bother to repaint there cars......dsmtuners.com learn a lil....
Evos,DSMs,Supras are much more comon to actally be FAST key word, sure theres alot of other modded imports, but those are the top 3 heavy hitters in the street racing world and putting down nice drag times.

nice kill. in my opinion, when you start going past 300whp, the drivetrain starts to become a problem. but thats only if its been abused. im in the 300's and my tranny is fine, knock on wood. it was probably an excuse for the bus lengths. just dont underestimate all those dsm's

I ran into another a week after I got my TA and he said he just got done rebuilding the engine, and he is planning on doing the tranny next week because it is already on its way out. I walked him though, and that was still learning the gears in the M6.
The rule of two applies to them for sure, Fast, Cheap, or Reliable. Seems the third is never a option for them.
haha i said... Well i took his word and went... Train leghts between us... Good kill

If you're serious it's Diamond Star Motors. Talon, GSX, Sebring, etc. Drivetrain and trany FTL. Every single one I have ever known/raced/heard of has either 20k+ into it (therefore not really making that original car anymore), is on blocks/in the shop/ "**** it left the piece of **** in the ditch"- actual quote from a buddy of mine haha.

kentridge.. i think i ran against you guys probably at some invitationals or what not.. but right on nothing wrong with being king at your H/S. we should kick it some time!
on topic: my cousin who moved up to seattle just bought a 91 eclipse AWD. had a spun rod bearing so he rebuilt the motor and is thinking about a 16G.

16g is a good turbo. shoul put him deep into the 12's with the right tuning and supporting mods of course. the talon, eclipse, and laser are the dsm triplets. nobody considers a sebring a dsm. evo's are the younger dsm's now.

You dont think I know that? I had over 10k into mine but it was still fast bud...
RX7s are also shitty, but move out with a big turbo
