Default DSM Retards

My roomate is picking up a 1991 Eclipse GS Turbo...yes, that's right, before the GS-T or GSX. Anyway, opinions of said car? It's modded up the wazoo although still running stock turbo. Ran a 13-something last year before the new tranny.

He's getting rid of his '99 Eclipse GS with a Gude headpackage. Rest in peace you POS. h:

I wouldn't do it simply because of traction issues. If it was a GSX then I would do it but then again Im performance biased. how much is he getting it for?

very true the fwd DSM turboed cars have major torque steer. The AWD versions takes care of that.
