Peter:
My fiancee has a laser RS Turbo AWD (1st gen, dsm, 2.0 turbo, like the
eclipse)
If it didn't have a cracked manifold it would be a close race with my
v8. These things, with a few mod's, can turn hi to mid 12's. They really
scream! I'm kinda ashamed to say I'm on a DSM mailing list, but hopefully,
soon, I'll be getting rid of that two door hunk of cr*p and get some german
engineering for my fiancee. The earlier dsm have an xfer case problem -
they
leak - and end up causing the wheels to lock up! (Thank heaven for the
recall!).
anyhoo - congrat's on the spank but look out for the turbos!
