I may be looking for a newer daily driver, and i want to stay in the DSM world so i may get a 2G N/A. I know all about the 7 bolt crankwalk, but what about the 420A motors? Are they a pretty decent platform motor to throw a turbo at later on in the future? I think Temp Me 96 has one. what kind of difference is there between the mitsu and chrysler motor powerwise or reliablity?

I didnt realize they are that slow. I was just looking for a daily driver that i could put 15k+ miles a year on and not have to deal with breaking parts. I really want a 1G AWD, but i wont have the money for a rebuild or new turbo if they need it, and the bad thing is if you lose your turbo, the car is basically undriveable. Most of them out there have 140K on them so it will be needing done im sure before to long. It would be a crime to put a ton of miles on such a nice car anyways. AWD would be great for my winter driving though, fwds arent as good as people think they are. I will probably just have to keep the slow laser just cause i have so much money in it and i wont get anything out of it if i sold it. I would have to get 2K for it to be able to have the money for a AWD and i dont think i will be that lucky. I was just checking cause i seen a 95 talon with a 5 spd and moonroof i assume has the 420A motor in it for 2500 bucks, i just wanted an upgraded daily driver.
