First of all the term "DSM" is outdated. Secondly there has never been an issue with crank walk when it comes to the Evo. Third, the 4G63T is one of the better performance engines ever built. Other than that you're spot on.

Also, if the "car is in the shop all the time" than how can "their warranty be useless"? If it's in the shop, wouldn't you be using the warranty?

For me the warranty was irrelevant because I knew I'd be modding the car beyond simple bolt ons. The free service was nice though.

Good enough for me... DSM is what they were calling motors back when liked some Mitsu/Dodge cars. I was going to buy an Eclipse GSX, but I just didn't want to deal with all the BS behind those motors and the transmissions were ALL crap.

That's why I bought my Z.
