They could be made in to quick little 4cy! LOL. I had a DD. I sometimes would drive mine but I ALWAYS had a tool box in my back seat. Its like this! You have a 16+ car. From factory the motor/tranny can only hold like 190hp (if that). You get kids who buy them slap on stuff turn the boost up and give it hell!!! They are not just ALL bad cars! I know a elderly lady who has one she bought it for her son brand new! She hasent had any problems with it! Why? Cause he LEFT IT STOCK! LOL. I guess with any car you mod your prolly going to have problems and those cars are not made to hold power. But they can be made into badddd lil cars!!! IMO if your a student low on money and your wanting a DD that you can mod..a DSM is not the way to go. But they are a BLAST during icey weather!![]()
