My talon runs 11’s all day. Its a daily driver. It was my only car for the summer and never once gave me a problem. I constantly run 30+ psi thru it. Im not saying, “it should be 11’s” or " i beat someone who said they run 12’s by 5 cars so I must be 11’s", I have timeslips and videos to prove it. All Im saying is that my dsm is pretty reliable. If something breaks, its something stupid like the occasional heater hose or spark plug wire. I built it. I race it. I drive it everyday.
The whole “dsm reliability” joke has too many variables. Any 15 year old that is never maintained breaks. Maintenance is key. Just like with ANY vehicle.
Everyone has different goals and preferences for their vehicles and everyone has an opinion. Is that something everyone can agree on?
