Summit:
-2,200lbs after the swap
-motor started as a short block for talon....changed plans
-300hp in a fwd coke can is hilariously dangerous and fun.
-parts are cheaper and simpler suspension/engine bay setup
-uniqueness
-more rally car. Im all about rally chassis styles.
Talon:
-awd
-sexy
-rust issues
-high mileage motor and trans. Both needed work. Pulled to repair and lost interest...sold car as a rolling shell
-not rally. Touring car.
-Awd woes.
-heavy...like 2,900+lbs
In the end the summit is a blast and tiny. The talon was on the road for two years before i went to redo her and then the summit stole her motor. I lost interest in the talon because of rust issues and i had it for years and it was at a point that i needed to build it or move on. I bought the summit cause i was making BANK and i wanted another toy lol. New toy took old toy's money.
Ultimately i am happy with my choice.
