thats a lot of money for a 97... its up to you, the miles are low but you can find one for a little over half of that price with a little bit more miles! like i said, its your money... if you buy a stock 97 GSX and do those mods on it you will probably come out around the same, but it depends on your payroll! good luck

just intrested whats the horse power and torque


sounds like a solid deal to me but you can always try to get it less like blue book it at kelly blue book.com and then add on the upgrades and see what it comes out to be

[joemathews]

I wouldn't buy a DSM that is that modded for that much money. You could be looking at a lot of engine work if the car was abused/tuned poorly running those mods.

Also, the prices you have on those mods are about twice as much as they cost, so cut the total price of the mods in half, figure in $1000+ in engine work to fix stuff like the headgasket, maybe piston rings, etc. then see if you think it is a good deal. I wouldn't go with it if I were you.

Wow, I wish. I've been looking for a car like this for half a year now and almost nothing has ever come up. When something remotely like what i want comes around it always has something wrong like too high miles or really modded.

Where'd you find this car Andy?

[Andydg]

I found it on the classifieds thing on DSM Tuners. The car has a website too, 97 GSX I think it's a nice looking car...just worried there might be too much power for the trans, and the money thing. I still don't know enough about these cars to make an educated descision about them...that's why I ask the kind people on AF.
