DSM = Diamond Star Motors = Any 1g (90-94) (mitsubishi eclipse, eagle talon, plymouth laser) non turbo and turbo cars and 2g (95-99)(eclipse and talon) non turbo and turbo cars

with the gsx you'd have a quick launch and all insurance is pretty high on them as I am guessing you are like 18 or under - but as you said your parents are lawyers so I don't see the problem

and for your Rice post funny but lol who do you think makes acura engines ?

10mpg ? lol dang you have really set low standards lol the dsm would get around 20mpg on avg or so - really depends what mods you are planning to do - if you wanna count gas cost in for any turbo car premium or better is the only option so the gsx overall is definetly not a cheap choice but to tell you the truth personally I'd get something newer STI or something like that in I had the $ depends how much you wanna mod how much you're willing to sell and how much you can do on your own
