Turbo dsm's are awsome, if you have the money to put into them for upkeep. A good friend of mine has a 1st gen talon tsi (manual) and it's stock. He put in an aftermarket turbo and it's running low 13's with no 3rd gear. Now, his tranny breaks at least once every 2 months, and other things come up quite often. And it's hard to find parts and people to work on them, but besides that, they are very fast. And as far as looks go, if you aren't into the show scene and you just want to go fast, what does it matter if it is ugly? His car is stock, white, with all the factory trim on it. It's awd and he has some good tires, but stock wheels. It's not perfect, but it's in decent shape. People will race him just because they think it's crappy. Then when they see nothing but his taillights, it doesn't matter what the rest looks like. Just my opinion.
Oh, and last week a friend of mine with an Integra Type R, Jun cams, exhaust, and lots more Jun goodies (running about 13's in the quarter) raced this piece of crap old grand national. It whooped him pretty good.
