Where did the term DSM come from when describing an eclipse?

Anyway, the n/a eclipses were very slow. I used to have one and it took forever to get up and go.

DSM= Diamond Star motors

It's the models that were shared by mitsubishi (diamond) and dodge (star).

DSM was the collaboration of Mitsubishi (provided the drivetrain)
and Chrysler (provided the styling and the Normal illinois plant)
to create the 90-94 Eclipse/Talon/ Laser combo's.
Great little cars IMHO...at least the turbo version.

Tsi/GSX/GS-t= easy go fast cars. Went to the track last night and it was terrible....I only mangage 14.4, NO TRACTIONS period, the Sh1ttiiiiiiest track ever. But my friends' awd seems to liked. 95GSX did a 12.7, Tsi did a 12.3 and there are like 20cars that keeping getting 10sec (domestic, non-streetlegal).

what should he race? overpowered cars..that's a waste too right...you will lose and if you don't...you got lucky. If you race underpowered car you win, or if you lose...he got lucky....i guess we should all only race other S2K's.....maybe people should just stop street racing..that is my vote.

I don't think its a waste of time racing over-powered cars... would you want to playball with someone you know you can beat, or beat someone better than you?
