I dunno. I don't get on tuners much anymore. They require a "non-free" email address, so I can't re-validate my username. I can't post, all I can do is look. There's alot more DSM sites out there that I can waste my time at!

yes i agree on the vr4. i've never driven one but i've seen one and they definitely are sweet. i'd like to get a turbo legacy and beef it up to do sleeper duty. maybe a 01 impreza rs and drop in the eg33.hehehe. i always liked seeing the look on guys faces who just bought their c5 and see me hanging on to their fenders in an old 87 gta. now that's fun! had a dude try one night in a turbo eclipse. yeah that really lasted long. that race was over before it started, he had no chance. it definitely wasn't stock either. all 4 wheels spun on it. pretty cool.

Ya the Vet has about 400 ftlbs of torque and the Porshe has about 285 ftlbs of torgue.

I got the opertunity to drive my brother-in-laws 96 Porshe Carrera 4 about 2 years ago. OMFG what a rush to drive. I hit 110mph, not street racing but test drivin, in 4 gear, tac'n 4500rpm. that ment I had 2 gears left and 1500rpm to go. My son was with me at the time. What a rush.

I had driven a Vet before and this Porshe was by far a better car.

SVX-FF Don't worry about ever upsetting me, to me, this is just an online forum, and i actually enjoy debating things like this.

and if given a choice between a corvette with an LS2, and a Porsche GT3... i'd say "both please" Two different ways to go about implementing amazing cars, and i'd have no problem driving either one. however for the record, the GT3 costs $45K more.

anywho, I obviously like the 1g eclipse, seeing as how i'm dumping a bunch of money into mine. I thought about trying to find a mid 80s camarobird, but i just like telling people that my "import" (they were all made in the US... but anywho) 4-banger makes over 450 hp and i'm only putting about 5000 dollars into it

You know one thing ive noticed is that most of the DSM's here are really modded up and sound real mean. I guess thats the difference between honda owners and DSM people....none of the DSM's ive seen her look remotley riced out and all have modded to hell engines. Ive always liked DSM's...especially the 2g body style.

I have to admit that I was looking into buying a GSX but then I saw her that beautiful shape, sleek lines, and those funky windows.

I love my SVX

yeah, funny thing is when your car is actually fast you don't need to try to make it look fast.

Its rather impressive that the riciest dsms are usually the non turbo's.
