I know of a such a dsm right now that is daily driven and is capable of such times, not in columbus but it's an achievable goal with these cars especially considering the tons and tons of cheap parts that are just laying around.
I had 2 turbo fwd cars and though both never made a lot of power I drove the shit out of them and never had any issues, the people that tell you bad things about them are typically the idiots that owned them and just didn't have a clue on how to build or maintain one.
Like Jones said, most owners just slapped some shit on the cars, beat the shit out of them, broke them, and then whined about the lousy reliability when it was their own damn fault. A dsm can be as reliable as any car, mine were.
