Srt4 Dsm Or Not????
Unfortunatly, I have a friend who owns an SRT4.... yes I know. Well, apperently he thinks an SRT4 is a DSM. So he's actually had other SRT4 owners confront me and tell me that an SRT4 is considered a DSM also. All in all, I think Neons are ugly and don't get me wrong bang for buck a great value for a new car, but I'm the type of guy who would buy a 1g or 95 2g and put the money into that rather than driving around in a Neon. I mean 21,000+ and it has no power windows in the rear?! BLAAG!
So everyone is a SRT4 a DSM or not? just trying to end this nonscense!

If it's not , , or , it's not worth it.

Nope, SRT-4s are not DSMs.

I don't see why they would be considered DSMs.

No. DSMs are only the talon/eclipse/lasers/galant vr-4's that were manufactured in the DSM factory in Normal, Illinois.

yes the 3000GT and Stealth did come out of the partnership between Cyrsler and Mitsubishi.

Galant Vr-4's were made in Japan
3000gt's were made in Japan.
The 3000gt's were made in a partnership, but that still does not mean they were made by Diamond Star Motors.

the SRT4 is a neon, not a DSM. Just another turbo Dodge.

even the owners would vouch for this.

DSM = mitsu, eagle, plymouth, and made in Normal.

Does that mean that the 3g and my 2g stratus are DSM's? They were all manufactured in Normal, IL. In fact, every year we have a big meet where we all go out there to meet the engineers and staff who assembled the cars.

sigh ignorance must be bliss, but you can't find any of that around here... bliss that is.
