...then you've found the right one
Where to start...well you can make almost double hp on the stock pistons/rods, and it doesn't take much to get the car into 12 second passes.
Best websites you need to learn everything:
Official DSM Website
DSM Tuners
DSM Talk
those sites will teach you more about our cars then you want to know. I started out with a laser RS, then bought an RS AWD, then my Talon TSi Awd. They're a lot of fun to drive, get looks from girls and go really fast when the turbo kicks in. They're also not as hard to work on as some cars. Hope that helped you out.
btw, check out the known issues so you first know what goes wrong. Crankwalk is a big problem (you want to read about this and how to check for symptoms before you buy your car.)
the First Generation (1G's) Talon/Eclipse/Lasers (T/E/L's for short) are lighter, faster, meaner and come packin a better turbo from the factory.
Second Generation (2Gs) come with a smaller turbo but 15 more hp from the factory. They can be made to go just as fast as the 1G's with some weight reduction and mods. They're awesome cars. Can you tell I love mine? hehe
