SCC states in their December mag that the 1g DSM's are now definately old school despite their technological characteristics (i.e. AWD, turbocharged, fuel injected, 200 bhp 4 cylinder, DOHC 16 valve, 4 wheel disc brakes, engine management, yada yada yada). Would you agree?
The differences between import old school, domestic old school, applying the term old school simply based on vehicle age or the temperment of the average enthusiast can lead to entirely different outcomes in definition and SCC may have intended their assertion to be applied to either description. Discuss. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

I think it's BECOMING old school. With all the 'new' alternatives, 1G's are becoming old school IMHO. Nothing wrong with that though.
The term though is pretty loosely used but I look at it this way... New school options would be: WRX, 2G, EVO, etc. Looking at the AWD turbo options, 1G DSMs are basicly the 'old school' turbo AWD cars. Not that there aren't older examples or anything but they seem to mark the point at which AWD turbos really started getting big. Now the fad has progressed to the newer examples. -------------------- |
