THIS is the first generation of the 90s and 00s street weapon of choice, the DSM deluxe, the Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. Maybe there’s a Talon TSi or Laser in there, maybe there’s a GS-T or two, but they’re all powered by Mitsubishi’s legendary and long-lived powerplant found in the Lancer Evolution: The turbocharged 4G63. This is the Evo you can afford, but can you deal with the owners and what they’ve done?

It’s the baby Evo. It’s the BETTER Evo. It’s the crankwalking nightmare. It’s some weird soap bar from the ’90s. No matter how you look at it, it’s the 2G Eclipse GSX, and it’s an tuner favorite, a cult classic, a drag racing legend.
None of these are stock. An unmodified DSM does not exist in 2022, probably hasn’t existed for decades at this point. Will we find any worth whipping? Click through.
