Please someone help me understand... I'm pretty much only into American made cars and the terminology behind them..  What is a "1G DSM"?

[brown16knigit]

1990-94 Eclipse/Talon/Laser.

They were produced in Illinois, actually.

Anyone else notice the car on the left smoking the entire time?

@Model192

In case you didn't read the mod list, the car was untuned. It was running a bit rich.

@red1999gsx i like the way you look at it. hell im in to 4 cylinders and V8's both. there are advantages to both of them. and honestly if you have a car your passionate about and like to work on then who gives a damn what it is. have fun with it.

@brown16knigit correction 89-94 :)

He is right, the C4 Corvette motors "burn up" too easy without hardly any stress. The correct figure is 235hp & 295t I know because I own one and am an aviation electrician NASA electrician. The Corvette is better. The white smoke is the driver over pressuring his intake which is the pinging & knocking you hear. He has bad valve seals, more then likely his front cam seals or his rear main seal/s.

There was no smoke in the second run except dsm smoking a c4.

@bushguts1 I'm literally laughing my ass off at that comment. So succinct, so true.

It is good to see American cars worth a damn again, though; I'd even consider owning one of the new Mustang GT's if it was in my price range. Meantime, I love my 2G Talon.

1g means first generation. 90-94. DSM means diamond star motors for those that dont know

I had a white 92' Talon, loved that thing :) Didn't race with it or soup it up, did put it through its paces a few times though... Got it mostly for the AWD which I actually needed, got me home in some bad storms!
