fast and the furious elipse...

on the closed thread...the eclipse in the fast and furious was not a gs, it was an rs with a dodge engine. money is everything when youre making movies...that car was cheap and not even fast.

And you are just finding this out. Pretty much everyone knew a little after the movie came out that the Eclipse was all show and no go. Doesn't have a turbo, N2O, or anything special, it was N/A.

They are illegal unless you bring them up to DOT specs...

if you look closely at the eclipse. its got simulated rear disc brakes. lolz all you see are 2 big rotors with invisible calipers. its hilarious. they couldn't even afford to put atleast a GS in the movie. and its called the Skyline not Skyliner. in this forum you will probrably learn enough about them to know of their true ability. and that yellow skyline in that movie is Sean Morris's personal ride from Motorex and that skyline does low 10's. in real life. thats probrably the fastest car in that whole movie. in real life spec wise. not movie wise.

You can have it... You just can't register it unless you get in complienced... And MotoRex is the only place to do that. BTW sense I assume you are thinking about the R33 in the fake and the hollywood, That is Sean's drag car, I don't know if it's complienced or not... I think it's here under a racing banner.

motorex imports and legalizes cars.
i'm pretty sure that the yellow one is legal.
if he works for a place that will make it legal, why wouldn't he?
paul walker has one too... 700hp or so...

please keep in mind that the studio had one nice car... the one they modeled the movie cars off of... they also made 7 copies to use for various scenes, such as jumping the intersection, etc...

that is the reason that the car looks like it has big brakes, and covers at other times. the same holds true for all of the cars. there were 7 copies made of each car.
