Look at how they view us over at the mustang forums

haha that's funny. I almost wanted to chime in there and school them some things about DSM's.

I own a 92 TSi, and also a sn95 Cobra so I get it from both ends! My roots are all American Muscle.

 

[DeNoZZo]

yea, I was about to say something too. I used to have an account there, but I lost my password. My mom had a new mustang, and I thought it was soo cool back then so I made an account and posted there for a while.

I'm glad to see you like the DSM better.

I have a friend that used to give me a bunch of crap bout driving and import (eclipse gs) Until one day i opened his door an showed him that his mustang was made in mexico, and my eclipse was made in michigan. He no longer has anything to say. and i give him a bunch of crap about his import.

I think you must have mis-read something!

Nah, I love my TSi but my Cobra is my baby. I sold my truck to get body work done on the damn thing!

 

[->PrOjEcTGS<-]

Yea my DSM was made in Normal, IL!! All American here...

Lasers aren't real dsms. Wow, you learn something new every day

 

[jking29]

guys, how can you be this ignorant?
crankwalk was not very common, and it only happened to 95/96.
They get their bad name and rep from their white trash drivers... no maintenance, just beat on it all day.

think your facts are a little misguided. It was 95-99 that got crank walk. and it was common in 80% of the GST and GSX's in the 85,000 to 100,000 mile range. Essentially everyone that knows anything about crankwalk knows that the 2 gen 4g63t was a 6 bolt main and the 95-99 had a 7 thus causing the crankwalk due to an elongated mainbearing. i had a 99 gsx that ran forever. I had 650 AWHP reliably.

Wow! Talk about mis-information! Especially from someone that had a 99 GSX that ran reliably forever with 650 awhp. Hell, he even figured out why 80% of the 7 bolts crankwalked! It's because we have an extra bolt on the main bearings that causes bearing elongation.

i used to have an account there too, I going to sign back up just to let these mustang guys know people have dynoed over 500whp and ran 10's all day on stock longblocks. They cant say our cars are unreliable when they dont even know them.

 

[dsm03]

Funny they say DSM's aren't reliable, and those guys who used to own a Eclipse or Talon shame on them! I guess there is a reason why they are Mustang drivers now

Wow I didnt know our cars came with forged internals.

 

[Flash]

I think the thread was very fair. The general consensus was DSM's are unreliable because of their owners.

 

[redi4axion]

Well look at the demographic of people that own each type of car, usually a DSM owner is a younger person with a limited budget, not many middle aged men with deep pockets driving GSX's. Most of us push way more than stock boost on stock internals, my buddy pushes 26 lbs all day on his 7 bolt.

Someone please join and post the video of Shep's 7.70 run...

Wow I didnt know our cars came with forged internals.

hahah..ha. Some of those guys in there are fairly ignorant. If they took the time to actually see what are cars are capable of ( short of breakin down kinda often, which i dont mind at all) they would see a 2.0L power plant 4 cylinder v8 eater.

Don't start inter-forum disputes from DSMtuners. Everybody has their own likes and dislikes. Leave it at that.
