Nice looking, but if it wasnt in the movie it would be cooler. Also heard its not so fast as it looks (ToT)

not bad for 5 mil.

I can think of better

[SKYLVIA]

yeah thats pretty cheap for $52,805 i wouldve thought it to be alot more expencive...

[Beer Baron]

I wouldn't say it's cheap. It's not bad, but an FD ranges between 1 and 3 mil so you are paying 2 mil or so for about 5mil worth of mods.

[LiQuid IcE]

I reckon its a bargain... its not just the mods its the reputation... you think it would appreciate over time since its been in the movies?

[Beer Baron]

but it hasn't been in the movies? it's a look a like. and there are tons of cars in films and very few of them every appreciate in value. something from a cruddy pop culture movie like FF3 is never going to increase in value.

And considering the one they used in the movie was built by Veilside there is a pretty big difference.

Its a little steep for an auto if you ask me though...

this one is built by veilside too?!

[grandmasterb]

well there you go learn something new everyday.

Pity they didn't use a manual for this one as well!!!

ooo i see

agree 100% on that point. the AT let's it down. but on the other hand a car with a massive stereo, full leather interior and a body kit like that is not going to be trashing around the togue doing 3rd gear entries... or ripping it up in a time attack or something, so maybe auto is not such a bad choice given the type of car it is....ok, what am I saying. MT would be far better, even given the cars purpose.

exactly what i was thinking.

But then again they did drive it pretty hard in the movie

I think based on what is being displayed at Auto-salons and car shows around Japan recently, the trend has swung from "lots of go" to "lots of show". Hence why the car is in this kind of form. But actually there was one of these for sale with the same colours as the movie one before. Not sure if it was manual or auto though...

want one?? the guy who painted my car built some for Tokyo drift (hence post above) and is currently building another for a Prince in Saudi-Arabia along with the Yellow Honda NSX... long story..

haha was reading this on IMDB: "The VeilSide RX-7 driven by Han used to be a special show car built by VeilSide and crowned "Best of Show 2005" at Tokyo Auto Salon, reportedly worth $150,000. Just the custom leather interior reported cost $20,000. Universal got it for $50,000, and the crew promptly destroyed both the interior and exterior by repainting both (with spray-paint)."
