It's branched out. True DSMs would be 90-94 Eclipse/Talon/Lasers but we also include 95-98 Talon, 95-99 Eclipse, as well as Stealths, 3000GTs, Galants (4G63 powered ones) and any Colt/Mirage with a 4G63 swap.

DSM's are the ultimate j body. Yay lets praise some of the most unreliable cars ever produced.

Basically, cars jointly built between Mitsubishi and Chrysler.
or Diamond Star motors as aforementioned.

hmm i tihnk it was 5.9r/t that schooled me on this before...but DSM refers to laser/talon/eclipse ONLY. altho other models were made under a partnership between mitsu and chrysler, they arent considered dsms cuz they werent included in the original deal...
so NO, a 3000gt is NOT a dsm.

There's been a HUGE debate over that all over the net. Really depends who you ask IMO.

the your mitsu/eagle doest have a motor produced my Dimond star motors, its not a DSM, very simple.
by saying 3000 gts and stuff are DSMs, is the same as saying my civic sir is a type r. but hey, i guess the motor doest really matter now does it, everythings a DSM!!

True, DSM's are only T/E/L and Galants, because true DSM's were built only at the DSM factory up until 93 for the 94 MY. T/E's built after this time are not true DSM's but are generally accepted as such because of the 4G63. The current generation Eclipse is not a DSM. 3000GT's and Stealths are not DSM's since they do not carry the 4G63 and were never produced at the DSM plant. Your car is a true DSM if in the engine bay and on various other places of the car, including the hatch, contains the DSM sticker.Originally posted by Jeff TYPE R

Edit:
Other joint cars between mitsu and chryco include:
stratus
neon
sebring
avenger

You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

True, they were actually made in Japan....and have a 6g72Originally posted by 5.9 R/T
3000GT's and Stealths are not DSM's since they do not carry the 4G63 and were never produced at the DSM plant.
Regardless, I still consider them "DSM's" and they are sometimes included in the group simply by association, enen though they are not "TRUE" DSM's......
One reason I probably include them is because I want no association with Dodge whatsoever....
.....At least this is what I keep telling the DSM club, who were kind enough to adopt me. Please don't let them catch on...
They are often grouped together as "Mitsubishi cross models"....give them whatever collective name you want, DSM or another.

It's quite simple really, DSM's were only produced between 89 and 93 at a DSM production plant. In 93 chryco and mitsu decided to break up the seperate entity that was DSM and ran the eclipse and talon on a shared platform like they did with the stealths and 3000GT's. Except for minor styling cues and other small items the cars were esentially all mitsu. The problem I find stems from misinformed or confused owners who tell people their car is a DSM when it really isn't. Once you get right down to it and read the facts, unless your car was produced between 89 and 93 and is a talon, eclipse, laser, or Galant it simply is not a DSM. After 93 DSM didn't even exsist! The only reason gen II talons and eclipse's can even be considered DSM's is because they continued with the same driveline components, and because under the skin they are esentially the same car they can be considered DSM's.Originally posted by memystealthandi

The most important thing to remember tho, is that DSM was a seperate company altogether, it exsisted between 89 and 93, produced only t/e/l and galants, and at the end of production for MY 94 the company was shut down and DSM no longer exsisted. Therefore 95 and up talons and eclipse's are not DSM's (in the strictest sense), nor are stealths, 3000GT's, neons, avengers, lancers, sebrings, or whatever other car that either carried a 4G63 or was part of engine/platform sharing between mitsu and chryco.
What IS a DSM and what is generally accepted as a DSM, however, are two completely different things.

I say if Buschur lets it run at his shootout, it's a DSM

Yes DSM is a car company, but it's also a mechanic's early retirement plan.
