Drop $5,000 on both cars and the gsx will spank you all day and all night. You can pray you just race from a roll, but I would get a different car if you're concerned about draggin'. Or you can wait until his crank goes to hell.

Crankwalk is blown out of porportion. It does not happen to the majority of DSM's. Its just the people that is does happen to are the ones that are always posting about it. The same thing goes for the reliability of DSM's. I had 70,000 miles on my GS-T when I bought it a little over 2 years ago, now I have 95,000 miles. I had about 88,000 miles on the Civic when I bought it 3 years ago, now I have 109,000 miles. Not counting basic maintence( oil change, plugs & wires, brake pads, ext.) I've spent about the same amount of money on repairs for both cars. $300 Idle Air Controller for the Eclipse, and 350 on a new clutch for the Civic.
