When should I get a GSX for my project?

[fmars62]

Hey guys, I just turned 18 and heading off to college but ever since I came across dsm's I can't get them out of my head and a 98-99 GSX will be my first project car, one that i will completely strip out and rebuild down to every nut and bolt. But Since I am going to college idk when I should get one. I really dont want to wait 4 years but idk how else I am going to do what I want to do when im in school. Im just scared that GSX's wont be around and I wont have any suppliers for new engines and stuff after 4 years. Any advice?

You should really worry about school first before a car. In four years you might not even like these cars anymore...doubt it though.

As for 800hp, im not sure that you understand what it would even take to get there or if you even know what 800hp really means. Get used to 200hp first, then 250, 300, etc, etc.

Nahhh I started at 400 and now will be over 500. But starting at 800 is a little different You should get one drive it while building a motor on the side, this way you could get use to the car instead of jumping into a new car with a ton of power.

If you don't have a place to work on your car then you can't buy a "project" car. I would buy a running dsm and slowly mod it while keeping it a daily driver just to get familiar with the car until you have the money and garage space to buy another car and tear into the dsm.
