the 2g eclipse will always have a special place in my heart 😍

These motors are super reliable. I don't know why people are saying they break down all the time? I have had 3 96, 97, and 98 GST's and I never had major problems with any of them. My first eclipse was at 26 lbs of boost on the stock Garret t25 and stock everything besides a bltz bov and a borla exhaust. Great cars and great engines. Super Super easy to work on. Great video. Great Car!

[jonanderson]

I am a hard core muscle guy but i have a soft spot for these, i have to
Have one! Beautiful car

[noboundaries]

I got one lol. 99 gsx 80k miles. Real clean for 18 years old

[racingproductions]

don't see many YouTube's that review dsm's great video man!!

[AlexanderHernandez-lcul]

Every time I see a video about a 2G DSM I have to watch it, and makes me love my 95 AWD talon even more

[igeastwestsouth]

As an evo owner I'd agree that the DSM is a better platform than the evo

[thebrokenglasskids]

I bought a '97 Eagle Talon TSi AWD back in 2003 and it was the car I learned tuning on. Over the past 14 years I've moved on to bigger and better projects, but I've kept the Eagle and will never sell it. I still take it out once in a while and have a blast doing so. At various times I've also had a 1st gen Eclipse GSX and Dodge Stealth TT AWD. There is just something about DSM's that's special. Great cars.
Thanks for the great video and showing there's more to these cars than the Fast and Furious nonsense that usually gets attached to them.

Chevy Cavalier... LOL!😂😂😂 You know how to kick off a video, JD!👊 This is a nice example of a GSX, man. I just don't see these very often anymore. Cool build, Andrew!👍That upper rpm pulling power is what I like best.💪 Enjoyed the video, JD. Y'all have a great weekend!

[jamesbrown]

Beautiful car. Makes me miss my 97 GST. I love my Evo and wouldn't trade it for anything, but if I ever had an opportunity to get another gen 2 I would. There so much fun to drive

[killrm.o.d.z]

I was in a machining class with this guy when I was going to NOVA in Manassas. I had a 97 GSX Burgundy color at the time. Good to see your success brotha!!

[rpvilleneuve]

Dsm's are like crack. You can try to quit but you'll always pick it back up lol.

[ivank]

It's like a car no one knows about. That's what so special about it.. imo

[HustleHabit]

A beautiful beautiful example of the rare GSX...

[delavdsm]

that was cool to hear you guys talk about the plymouth laser. I have a AWD1992 plymouth laser.

[CHawkens]

dude keep this 2G theyre getting rare especially the GSX, you have a truth street gem in your hands CHERISH IT!!!! FOREVER!! Your super lucky to have a clean, strong running True DSM!!

[JohnnyCTSV]

Had a 92 Laser for my first ride. Way back! Loved that car

[ryancherry]

Wow what a beautiful Gsx! damn that made me miss my 50 trim 97 Talon!! One of the nicest looking cars!!

[licensekilttheplaidlad]
