The RS in F&F was turbo by the look. When they popped the hood, you could see it on the top of the manifold. Otherwise a 10,000 dollar fuel management system really wouldn't be that great of a benefit. Also, you could hear the BOV when he shifted... all of those cars had turbos.
Hear is something for ya.. watch the first scene with him and the eclipse on the track. Count the shifts smile.gif .... 6 shifts and 7 when he puts it in reverse!!! No wonder he spun out... its in reverse!!!!! But enough about that movie... its overtalked the way it is. Back to DSMs.

I agree that the DSM is a "bang for the buck" car. Great vehicle, easily tunable... and AWD. Its not good for show (burn outs) but theres no greater feeling than waxin' a Cobra or SS Camaro off the line in a 210+ hp 4 banger.

And crankwalk isn't a problem! It only happened in a very small amount of cars. I've owned 2 (95 and 96) and never saw anything. Also, no one I know.. about 10 more of them.. have ever experienced crankwalk. Dont let this discourage you from ever getting a dsm.
