i just ran a friends GST with exhaust. i pulled on him off the line about half a car, stayed like that until 3rd and then i just pulled on him. thats about the 2nd or 3rd GST ive raced that i have beaten. there have been alot that have beat me, but they have decent work. I thinks thats kinda sad for a car that supposedly has 200hp stock. also a friend of mine had a talon TSi. that thing ran hard, but that POS broke transaxles, trannies about 3 times. Always giving him problems and stuff....i can easily say i will NEVER own a diamond Star.

 

they have LOTS of engine and tranny problems when driven hard....... my friend HAD a fast one but it blew up ???

 

Yeah.. I have a lot of friends that have 1st gen GSX's and TSi AWD oh.. and Lasers.. They share common weak points, like we may.. but it doesn't take em that much to get quick.. specially from a dead stop!! Too bad they suck up top!!
