Thumbs up Re: new car.. but not dsm.. =[

You can make the new mustangs look pretty sweet, not to mention, those bitches can haul ass, as with the WRX's, but if i was you i would definately go with the EVO. EVO's are some bad ass cars, even stock they get up and go pretty well. I raced one with my grand am just for the hell of it about a year ago, and i got my ass handed to me. Not to mention its an AWD turbo, cant beat that.....

As others above have noted, I'd avoid anything thats boosted as a DD, especially an old boosted car, so reliability-wise, youre better off avoided an old turbo DSM.

What do you mean "live axle"? Like a solid axle? The IRS they used to have in mustangs was a big ol POS. I'm glad they changed back to a solid axle, the reason they probably did was because of the big ol problem with wheel hop. Take away the IRS and you can relieve a large amount of that problem.
