How In The Actual Fuck Was This Mitsubishi Eclipse $80,000 Dollars in 2001?
Evan Green
Oliver Hernandez
$60,000 rims
Andrew Bailey
This style of car is seriously so shitty looking. That era was really ugly.
Jayden Flores
fancy german car
Nolan Perez
A GSX was about 12-20k then since the model that came out in 2000 was terrible. Beyond that early carbon fiber stuff was expensive. Bigger turbo, new internals, ecu and tuning another 10k. Paint and body kit 10k. Wheels and tires 4K. Stereo etc another 5. You might have been able to spend $50k on it.
Benjamin Diaz
I saw a replica of that car at a drag strip and it ran a high 15. Disgraceful.
Tyler Rivera
Yea... it’s pretty easy to get a gsx into the 9s tho if you don’t put a bunch of crap on it.
Asher Stewart
Base car is probably GS, 10k
The engine is from top models like GS-T or X, 7k
Nitro systems, 3-5k
Computers next 3-5k
Fancy rims again 3-5k
Racing tyres 2k
Custom paintjob 1-2k
Custom vinyls/stickers 1k
Custom interior 3-5k
Custom bodywork 2k
Aero components 2k
Maybe 80k is too much but it would reach 50-70k range based on my estimates
Alexander James
>That era
99.99999% of cars manufactured after the 1980s look like shit.
Teslas look like fucking Acuras
Ethan Ramirez
I need NOS.
Ethan Barnes
aftermarket parts retard
Cooper Hill
I know nothing about cars and this probably could be answered from a google search but still, how come cars don't look cool anymore? I mean I still think high end stuff looks nice but just the regular cars you see driving around are so boring to look at. Lifeless shapes and colors.
Camden Turner
75k worth of aftermarket parts bolted to it.
Julian King
Super advanced brakes that don't need calipers
William Rogers
Why didn't he just get a brand new 911 which started at $80k?
Angel Thomas
pedestrian safety regulations.
Cameron Richardson
i winder how many tires she's eaten
Austin Brooks
There's no way to make something stylish and aesthetic while also following those regulations?
Leo Collins
But seriously folks, FF was the worst thing to happen to the sport compact scene.
Michael Bailey
Because as it turns out aerodynamics and drag is really fucking important. There is really only one shape that provides the least amount of drag, so that's why everything looks like a teardrop.
Nathaniel Perry
Globalization. Many brands share components or whole models under different names.
Safety regulations, certain designs are more effective than others. Protecting people inside as well as pedestrians outside.
Fuel and economy. Smoother designs help to reduce aero drag resulting in better fuel consumption.
Andrew Flores
who is she?
Angel Cruz
The best look on cars is the 70's muscle look. No other can come close.
Debate me.
Jaxson Perez
You can, but that’s why exciting looking cars are expensive, it takes millions of r&d to make something that looks good also pass regulations. Majority of normal cars are built on the same or very similar platforms which makes them look all the same.
However, majority of normal cars back in the day also looked boring, the reason why people think that cars back in the day looked so good is because they only remember the good looking cars and ignore the horrid cars that most people drove
Leo White
they're awful cars to actually drive, but they are really appealing for some reason.
i think its my inner 9 year old that really likes them.
Adam Nelson
I absolutely love that car holy shit user
Hunter Bell
user I'm not saying you're wrong but the 80's felt so right.
Nathan Russell
>no caliper on the rear disk
lmao
Henry Hill
What's an ugly car from an otherwise aesthetic era?
Charles Baker
Blocky trash with few exceptions.
Streamline era 40s-50s cars were masterpieces of design. Details inspired by aviation, fins, chrome, innovative technology.
Wyatt Butler
this
Parker Long
>fins
Samuel Moore
lamborghini countach
im half serious. i've never liked the countach's looks.
David Cox
Josiah Miller
AMC gremlin, ford pinto, Traband
However, it’s all in the taste, some people think those cars are cool nowadays because of the nostalgia
Easton Lee
I see you are a man of culture.
Alexander Hall
My 93 GSX ran high 13's with just a front mount IC which was a pain in the ass to install btw and DSM link
Jack Brown
Darth Vader on wheels
Leo Turner
What does driving feel like bros? I'm too afraid to do it. Is it actually fun or is that just something people say?
Justin Adams
That 10 second car insult Diesel throws at Walker is really not based in reality.
Juan Ortiz
Best Paul Walker vehicle checking in.
Leo Roberts
A boomer near me has a mint Grand National. I need to follow him home so I can buy it when he dies.
Ayden Sanders
You can be driving the shittiest fucking piece of fucking shit on the fucking planet and feel good the moment you see some black person walking down the street.
Noah Kelly
Underrated. Never noticed that, lol.
Cameron Martin
hell yeah brother
Eli Anderson
Shit taste faggot. 2G Eclipses looked great.
Brandon Cook
fatty mceatsalot
Charles White
Why the FUCK are niggers always walking. Like, nigger you don't got no where to go. Just sit at home, nigger! Walking around like you just want to be outside and shit. I think this every time I see a nigger walking. GO HOME.
Isaac Long
That pic does look good.
Sebastian Miller
And that sweet, sweet feeling of your dashboard going through your skull when you hit something
Landon Clark
my hour long commute home (one direction) is the only highlight of my day
Tyler Harris
Like you’ve upgraded to a horse-owning peasant with a cart
Really good compared to the alternative
Ryan Rogers
if you destroy such a beautiful machine, you deserve to perish
Carson Scott
sometimes it's great, sometimes it's hellish
Owen Hall
>moving a ton of steel to move yourself
>blasting stinking fumes all over the place
Feels American.
Thomas Lee
nah
Isaiah Flores
Trips of truth.
>When even your deleted scene car is based.
James Allen
Your ignorance is kind of showing but the total isnt far off.
The engine is rebuilt and protuned so its more like 15-30k. Seriously people spend an arm and a leg on that shit. Nitro isnt all that expensive and would be part of the engine build. Computers? You mean the ecu? That would also be part of the protune.
Those rims really dont look that crazy. They MIGHT be 2k. Now the drivetrain/suspension could be another ten thousand. Tires would indeed be around 2k. The paint however if ceramic coated would be closer to 5 or 6k. Stickers are free. Seriously I get stickers with every car part I buy. Interior, bodywork and aero you're not far off.
Chase Jackson
for me....... civic wagon
Julian Bailey

Why the fuck wont they make a real fast and furious movie? Why are they being totally outdone by youtubers with a gopro?
Andrew Thomas
This isnt even a good looking "built" car, and its clearly just a prop. There no fucking brakes in the rear for christ sake
Jason Watson
Hnnng braaaaap final fatassy
Ayden Hernandez
By 2fast they were just bolting shit onto garbage cars.
The spyder in that one was the shitty NA Eclipse Japan didn't want with five digit paint job and the evo was just a granny Lancer.
Leo Howard
Every sticker adds 1hp.
Juan Harris
you so right
Jose Torres
They put maybe 500 dollars in to that car
Pic related is what a wheel on nice tuner actually looks like. Look at the difference.
Ryder White
I don't really remember the movie too well, but that Dsm I had was fun to work on but a pain in the ass to keep running right mostly because of it's age. I bought it from the original owner for $1500. She had all the maintenance records and even had the receipt for a factory recall crankcase replacement. The seals on the motor all started going up at once it seemed like, ECU burned out in a parking lot lol. Started smoking at stop lights and shit. I ended up selling it to someone on the DSM forums so it went to a good home, I think.
Bentley Howard
dam
Henry Garcia
>reverse search
>nothing
Give me more, dammit, I NEED more of that tummy.
Jordan Thomas
>NA Eclipse Japan
None Eclipse was available in Japan. It was basically a rebadged Chrysler or Plymouth/Eagle Talon with few changes.
Lincoln Martinez
why the fuck can't we have a gran turismo game for autists anymore?
Levi Lopez
>tfw 2002 civic
Can you get an aesthetic car for under 10k lads
Alexander Murphy
Ian Morgan
I think he meant the custom decals on top of the paint. Not the product stickers. But you're more correct about the engine build and tune being one shot. I'm pretty sure that's a GSX so the drivetrain/crankcase upgrade would probably be pretty damn expensive as well.
Leo Hernandez
Yeah they tried to sell the spyder in Japan as a special edition and nobody bought it.
Robert Robinson
Actually has calipers. Nice!
Colton White
i just bought a six speed 98 corvette for $10,000 a year or so ago
Jose Perez
a-spec forever.
Jayden Perry
that's not the same girl you shit
Nathan Hughes
Did it come with a mid-life crisis?
Brody Butler
How many miles? Even in decent shape that's a good deal. It's the boomer Ferrari
Justin Perez
Isaac Rogers
>the skyline that only technically slips into the decade instead of the true 80s skyline
name a better car commercial

Xavier Gonzalez
>Nitro isnt all that expensive and would be part of the engine build. Computers? You mean the ecu? That would also be part of the protune.
Ok, I just listed each.
>Stickers are free. Seriously I get stickers with every car part I buy.
I meant that blue sticker or vinyl or whatever it is. Not sponsored decals.
Angel White
Easily, if you're also willing to work on it yourself.
Gabriel Green
user do you not remember 2003?
youtube.com
Benjamin Williams
Jesus Christ what an ugly car. Eyesore colors, awful shit.
Daniel Long
Lincoln Richardson
because it's ugly
Landon Lewis
literally 1 or 2 good looking models
Andrew Peterson
...
Leo Gomez
Leo Lee
the real info is coming out
Joshua Hughes
The shots of the Ferrari's speedo climbing and the transition into the Coutach's engine bay always make me fucking shiver. Whoever's idea it was to use Kavinsky for the background is good at their fucking job, too; good thing the boys brought half their support staff along when they left the Beeb.
Landon Reed
the series would have ended during filming of the first movie
Ethan Murphy
Wow thats lazy. They just put a fake disk on to hide the drums.
Camden Reyes
there a dozen EVs with meme retro designs that arent even that expensive
Jack Ramirez
Nice Dodge Stratus.
Evan Gonzalez
Shame they didn't use an actually good Japanese car
Cameron Hill
The charger will always be the kino of automobiles
