I'm not going to debate the validity of your DSM failures as I am well aware that **** happens, and apparantly it left a bad taste in your mouth.
My dad bought the 93 GSX that I'm currently building into a track car new in 92. We've had it since then and have had only the most minor of problems.
I've also never heard of the "spontaneously combusting ECUs". The capacitors occasionally leak after 15 years or so, but that's about it. The rest are things that happen, but only the CW happens more than it does on other cars.
The auto trans was a chrysler part, and everyone knows how much chrysler sucks at making transmissions.
