2G DSM

Ranked #1,660 in Cars, #88,872 overall

1995-1999 2G DSM

A 2G DSM is the second generation Mitsubishi Eclipse and Eagle Talon. They came in a few different drive train platforms, and the one I will be referring to is the turbo version. The Mitsubishi Eclipse GST ad GSX were both turbocharged, along with the Eagle Talon TSI and the TSI AWD.

The 2G DSMs came with the 7-bolt 4G63 motor, which is known for crankwalk. The Talon TSI AWD and the Eclipse GSX came AWD, where the other models are front wheel drive.

DSM stands for Diamond Star Motors, which initially consisted of cars including these, and the Plymouth Laser, all referred to as the 1G, produced from 1990-1994. They are often preferred in the racing community for being more light weight, and the more sturdy 6 bolt 4G63.

More 2G DSM Info

The 2G is the most popular all around of the DSMs, for over all aesthetics, comfort etc. The one place it isn't as preferred as the 1G is that it weighs more. The irony here is that the fastest DSM in the world, in the video above, is a 2G, yet it's a full race car and chassis. the average 2G that you see at typical race events is often a tad slower than the average 1G, although not by much when they are built the same. It could also have to do with 1Gs having been around longer, so they are more willing top gut the interior etc.

Did you know the latest 2G GSX's were around $30,000 when new? They were comparatively as the Evo is now in a price comparison. That could be another reason, is to hold some value and keep her pretty. Regardless, they are very nice cars, and nice to have year round with the all wheel drive. We drive ours in the snow, though a lot of people stow them away for winter, to keep them as rust free as possible.
