    Craig is a genuinely nice guy. Talked to him at a local show called tuner friday as well as at South OC cars and coffee , both of which he had brought Paul’s r34. He let me talk his ear off for probably 45 minutes and I’m incredibly grateful to have met him

      Tyrese was supposed to be all tough, but still a cool guy... according to his introduction in the second movie at that derby race at least. Then in the other movies he is the dummy character all of a sudden for some reason.. he was cool to me only in 2F2F. Kinda sad that they butchered his character this much.

    The Yenko Camaro and the Challenger fit the characters that were driving them.
    One thing I'd like to see discussed is the body count. Some of the wrecks, especially in 2F2F and Fast 5, would have been deadly in real life. In Fast 5 20-30 cops "died". Yeah, I know it's a movie and disbelief is supposed to be suspended. But some of the crash sequences would have been, bloody, gory messes had they been real.

When 2Fast came out the car was sitting at the Bell Tower movie theater and of course, we were freaking out an actual car from the movie.

      @@philithegamer8265 my buddy had a bright red ‘08 Z06 from about 2012-2016. He only drove it about 500 miles total. I couldn’t understand why someone would buy a car of that caliber and not drive it. The only new muscle cars that I really like are the Challengers. They’re the only ones that look like a classic muscle car anymore. I have a ‘05 Mustang GT, which in my opinion looks like a late 60’s model.

      @@Lamtitude Yeah, the retro throwback styling for the 05 Mustang (Though that car having a V6 rather than a V8 sucks) and the Challenger look great and stay 100 percent to the roots of their predecessors. They're like the only ones that did that 2000s era retro throwback styling of American Card well. Every other attempt (Plymouth Prowler, Chrysler PT Cruiser, Ford Thunderbird, etc.) was pretty much a dud aside from *maybe* the Charger and Camaro.

    This car is riced out, but the 3g eclipse is still cool, you can still boost it and basically have a torquier 4g63, (they come with a 4g64) or you can drop a 3.8L mivec from a 4th gen, which will give you a 300hp stock motor, put boost on it, tune it, you've easily got 400.. people sleep on these cars.. which is good for us young guys, im happy they didn't do well because these things are a ton of fun and pretty reliable too. Great first car for anyone getting into tuning.

The 4th Gen eclipses were the worst...especially from the rear...although the ground effects package did improved the appearance.
