I was sittin' here by myself thinking today I wanted to do a model of my Batmobile...(which...due to run-ins with the state police is parked in the Batcave for the time being
); a 1997 Eagle Talon TSi AWD
Okay...if they can do a kit of a CRX...why not one of a Mitsubishi Eclipse or a Talon?!?!?! To answer your question, I believe the Eclipse GSX they used in the movie in real life is AWD...and seeings how you can't burn out with AWD hardly...if at all, I don't see how it can manage in the movie unless it's FWD...
Either way, if they do come out with a model kit it'll prolly be the Eclipse...which then I will have to modify to look like my Talon
Second generation TSi's are pretty rare, compared to their first generation Eagle cousins you see on the road, whereas, there were a few more GSXs made. TSi = Turbo Sports Injected GSX = Gran Sport Cross (the X is kinda like cross country referring to the offroad AWD)
But anyways...I am on a rant...both have turbo and boast the 2.0 Mitsu engine, only difference is that the 2G Talon is assembled in the US and has different badging then the Eclipse (not too mention different taillights)
BTW...the Eagle graphics from the F&F I found a place here in the States that produces them in any color...so I ordered a set in silver for my black Talon
Can't wait til' they're here
