So, that isn't really an issue, is it??? In MY OPINION and EXPERIENCE, DMS aren't very reliable. I also had an 800 awhp Evo for a few years and it NEVER broke. Obviously, it depends on the quality of components you choose and who does the work. Stock for Stock, IMO AGAIN, 240 is the most reliable with DSM's being the least reliable. Then when you talk about adding HP, I still think IN MY OPINION that the 240 has the best potential for HP upgrades with the least amount of money.
    relax man, i have heard some negatives on the 240 and value all opinions. Especially since you see what goes on. Its obvious he wont get 400 hp on 5 grand, although some talons sell for 4 and have 300 already. Thanks for the tips, as for reliability ill let him decide if he wants to sacrifice awd for it.

    For the record, I'm a chick and I am relaxed I just wanted to clear up that it was only MY OPINION and I wasn't into actually debating the subject. I didn't see where you said anything about it having to be AWD. Only that he was looking into Talons. Maybe One Sleeping Talon will chime in on the reliability of the DSM's since he had two race cars and it's his specialty. I already know what he will say. I'll see if I can get him to post for ya.
    Val for president!
