DSM Generation Poll [Please Help]

[HTownTurbo]

You might of seen me before when I made a thread saying that a DSM is one of my choices for a first car. I think I want a DSM but which generation is better for a starter car? am going to be modding a little bit too. Feel free to explain why.

I would get the 2nd gen, the reliablitly of the car all rests on how many miles are on the car,what mods you put into it,and if you are gonna beat on it on a daily basis. I had my 2nd gen for a year and i did minimal mods like exhaust,intake,1g bov etc..That thing ran perfect for that year..stepped it up to a big 16g and was running that setup for 6 months car ran beautiful and reliable, nothing broke or needed replacing. After those 6 months i stepped it up yet again to a Full Garret 60-1 setup..Well lets just say at that point reliablilty took a seat :laugh:

It runs and puts down insane power but i totally messed up my trans..needed to replace the radiator, blew a intake gasket, etc

I dont necessarily agree with everyone sayin you shouldnt get a dsm for your first car..hell if u want a badass dsm do it, find something with low miles and you can do some mods and you will be fine.. Well if your on a budget go with the 1g being how there cheaper but they are very old cars and will probably need lots of maintence unless you can find some out there with low miles.

i dont think reliability of car rests on how many miles its got ob iit.. it depends on how well its maintained.. a very well grandma driven gsx with 100K miles is better than a 6K launch from everylight gsx, beated on real bad with 10K miles on it.....

just felt like addin that..
