DSM's are good cars if you do everything right the first time. They have a bad rep because people were making double the power without upgrading anything. Of course they'll grenade all the stock parts. My laser was an 11sec car with well over 200,000 miles on it. They're very stout motors. They're just really shitty cars. :rofl:

Shitty as in not well built. I love them, I had 2 well running ones, and 1 that was bought as a parts car. Even with well over 200,000 miles, that one ran like a top too. It was just ugly on the outside.
Ugly? Not true. My car not ugly at all. Most DSMers just don't know how to come hard with it.

Daily or race car, doesn't matter. How they maintained it is everything. If you bought it local I may know who the owner was and can try to get an idea of what you have. You can start by checking the strut towers under the hood to see if its rusted?

Were u located?

I'm in Aurora. You can make a cheap shit data logger for those cars to help with tuning. You have to use the NB o2 sensor for tuning, but it works good enough. My laser I had was AWD, and was also rocking R-compound road racing tires, still a beast in the snow. They're good cars, just make sure you undercoat the fuck out of it, or it'll rust to the ground after the first winter. There's 100,000 places water and salt get stuck inside random places, and just eat away at the car from the inside, out.
