alright, i felt like watching the fast and the furious a few nights ago and i realized that they said that the gsx was an 80k car.

my question is, if there was 80k in the car, why would it only top off at 140mph? also.....if it was an 80k car, why was there only 10k in under the hood. so where did the other..lets say.. 60k go?

i would like some of the cars on there if they wouldnt put a huge wing on the back and horrible graphics...ricers

Took you THIS long to realize that? Maybe the other 55K was in the stereo, rims, paint job, and body work? Figure 10K for the engine and driveline work and 15k for the car (If bought near new).

It was single. but the junk car is a NA. you can tell its single on the few spots they actually used the real car noises. single supras sound nothing like TTs
