@@davidleroth8644 nah gta tries too hard at being everything. More like Driver style gameplay except decent driving physics. More focus on storyline/cinematics.

19:37 "I don't think 10 cylinders sound very good" 2000's F1 says hello (well, it's actually screaming at 20kRPM and it sounds more like NYYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUMMMMMMM)
The final XJ220 was a compromise on top of a compromise; the XJ220 was originally planned to be a V12 - the same that was in the XJR-15 Sport (also developed by TWR). Due to budget limitations, it ended up with the V6 Twin Turbo from the Group B rally Mini Metro instead. People put in pre-orders for XJ220s and were disappointed when what they got had half the number of cylinders they were promised.
Just going off data that was quickly available 2,885 Diablos were sold with an msrp ~$239,000 and 30 GTRs were sold at ~$310,000, bringing total revenue from Diablos to $698,576,000.00. If Diablo posters were sold at $5 it would mean that 139,715,201 posters would need to be sold to beat revenue from the actual Diablo. According to the world bank, 29.83% of the world population of 6.19B were kids (1-14) in 2001, which would mean 7.6% of kids around the world would need to have had posters (@$5) to beat revenue from the car.

The Diablo is the perfect don't meet your heroes car. Chrysler had the honors of making one of the only Lamborghinis that was horrible to drive. They went for neither crazy exciting or luxurious, instead meeting in the bland and undrivable middle.
@@matthewreise120 I've never driven a Countach but I've ridden in one, and the 450hp is surprisingly quick but nothing crazy. The intake sound is to die for. I think the Countach works because it has all of the quirkiness and lack of practicality but makes up for it in a ton of character in the driving experience. The Diablo was slightly worse in handling but lacked the personality to make up for it. Only with 90s Chrysler quirks instead of italian endearing ones. The most accurate description of the Diablo I've heard is that it drives like a mid-engine BMW 850CSI, if you can visualize that.
@@joeleonard9965 well, you obviously have more real world experience with that car than I do (was just basing my comment on various TH-cam vids). I think “quirky “ is probably the best way to summarize the Countach from what I can tell. Also never drove/ridden in a BMW 850CSI, so I’ll take your word for it! Take care man, have a good night!
I actually had a Carmen Electra poster but not a Diablo poster. Obviously the Diablo is BOSS- but my heart was still set on a Countach. (Countach is a weird word). I actually sat in a Countach once! Also the Countach seemed plenty big enough at the time- then again I was eight. (Eight is also a weird word).

Who else here remembers the first time they saw a Prova purple Diablo... And it just so happened to be the one sitting in the parking lot at the old West coast custom shop with spinners and alligator skin seats?
I threw out my red Saleen s7 poster maybe a year ago cleaning up my moms and dads.. and one other I can’t remember... this episode is making me regret that lol.. and yes they did come from the scholastics book fair. 🤣
I was one of those Diablo poster kids and also had a red 1:18 die cast. This podcast just made me realize how little they are ever seen in the wild or how I never see anyone doing reviews or driving them on line. Isn't it odd how the poster boy of super cars never sees the light of day?
Can we just take a moment to reflect that in the 90’s a quad turbo v12 pushing 500 hp was pushing limits. Now you can get that from a single turbo 3 cylinder
80's cartoons were the best... Then Japanese adult orientated animation from the early nineties came in... Countach, ahem... Feelin' old. (Oh, Magnum P.I. and Hardcastle and McCormick...)

I had a crazy dream last night that i was going up a hill in my lambo, couldnt stop so i smashed into someone then someone crashed into me from behind which launched the lambo and I over the street and into a parkinglot. I was bummed but my friend said i could get some uprgraded parts with the insurance money so it wasnt all bad. It gets crazier cause after being at a fast food place with the tow truck lady and some friends i woke up from some wierd sounds. Turns out someone was breaching from a dive out of the nearby hole leading into the ocean. After a few minutes talking to these dudes I knew I was in another dream and started slapping myself to wake up which worked.
Sooo, my hot take from the question posed in the intro is: We'll probably never see another supercar golden age like the one in the 90's. There's, effectively, another HP war happening now but, what separates the time periods is, the 90's was a decade that, (IMO), had enough variance in the personality of the manufacturers and approach to individual cars, that they mostly had substantially different personalities and approaches. That still holds largely true but there's a sort of convergence/singularity happening now. Between economy standards and features-buyers/focus groups reinforcing the idea that everything needs to be in everything, sports cars are being dulled in personality, if not quantifiably. And that choose your own adventure/weapon/vibe/style, etc, is being whittled down. Now, this isn't to say new super and sub-supercars aren't amazing. F$*k ya, they are. Technology has progressed every aspect of cars with sporting intentions... Except, arguably, the visceral. That's a lot of why, older, slower cars are fetching a premium. You can't fake feel.
OMG, witch hazel in manscaped products?!?!? I'm glad I heard that!! I am super allergic to that shit! If I touch it I am instantly dropped to the floor and cannot maintain my balance, it is soooo miserable!

"Bojack Horsepower". That line kills me lmao
I came here to reference that comment..love that show

If he could just do any up to speed at all that would be cool tho
Up to Gear on Top Speed?

Nah Nah. I want him to atleast do a 1 minute narration in Grand Tour.

V12 > odd firing V10 > even firing V10 (BMW, Carrera GT, LFA)
Yes yes yes!!! Love Kelsey Grammer as Frasier 😂 What a great time! All-around fantastic episode.
Nolan with the Third Eye Blind reference 👌🏼
