Well, the debate now rages at dsm.talk. Check out the Lounge forum and the thread "Is a 2GNT a DSM?" Please resist the urge to reply from a 2GNT point of view, as I am trying to 'draw out' the opinions of others. What I mean is, our feelings on this are pretty obvious, so we do not want to discourage others who do not share our opinions. My primary objective there is not to 'bait' or mess with people, but to point up the hypocrisy of having a class called DSM Powered, at a race called the DSM Shootout, while excluding all DSM engines but the 4G63 from this apparently mis-named class. Take a look at the thread and keep an eye on it as the opinions flow...it's entertaining to watch!

We took the Neon and the RS out one last time in their present configurations on Sunday. The outcome was mixed: the Neon ran a 9.88 first pass (YES!)! The RS only got one run (we got there late, several oildowns ensued), a bogging 11.83. Poor driving, really. Conditions were really no better, maybe worse than last Tuesday. So be it! Both cars will now move to the next level: the RS gets nitrous to accompany its Stage V setup (essentially, we will be 'cloning' the combo that went 9.88 with the Neon into the RS). The Neon will get its auto trans and killer motor setup, so 9.88 will be the record for an off-the-shelf HRC Stage V turbosystem with a 100 HP shot of N20.

I think that says it all about the capability of our Turbosystems. No other company can match the years of development and testing they contain, the results that have been achieved, nor the decades of turbosystem experience that went into their design.
