Man the outside looks f'in-awesome...

But damn, I find it a bit hard to buy that the interior looks like that or that the engine looks like that... damn, somebody correct me if I'm wrong...

Here's the link to the auction:

The outside looks awesome, but now time for the part that worries me...

That is a beautiful design. It was probably a movie prop or something, by the looks of the interior. I saw one of the F&F orange Supras close-up here at the San Diego autoshow 2 years ago...the interior was worse than my cousin's Yugo.

It was supposedly one of the cars on Minority Report... but damn, I figured they'd do it up at least a little better than that...

Edit: I mean damn, for $80k... that little ass motor, and that f'in interior, WTH... might as well buy a porsche...

:lol: Bahahahahahaha....

Look at that sad ass engine. Interior is something I can live without, but damn that engine looks like it would get lit up by my Cavalier.

I agree, I mean damn... I'd love to see that thing with a fuckin' huge engine and lighting up the tires... and it's purdy... but that motor and the interior, wth... $80k?!?... wtf...FTLx3

I'm finding it a bit hard to believe it took $125k to build the exterior peices, because obviously everything else they probably just dropped a 20 for junkyard parts.


Edit: I just read the description and the seller said this:

"so the exterior is complete and beautiful but the interior was not completed. I specialize in custom built vehicles and will include a custom interior for this vehicle FREE OF CHARGE. This will include custom leather seats, an upgraded custom steering wheels, new carpeting, a custom dash and a Sony stereo system. The last picture shows an example of a custom interior we did on a Pontiac with a custom body on it."

So maybe it wouldn't be so shitty after all.

Its still got the piddliest little shit of a V6 I've ever seen. :lol: Fuckin like an auto Chevy 2.8 V6 or something. Sure it would be cool but then they would hear the pissed off fat 8 year old sounding engine and laugh. Then they would laugh harder if he tried to light up the tires, no way that engine could make enough torque to spin the 22's.

Yea true, but it'd be cool if some crazy rich mechanic like Foose or Jesse James got a hold of it. Although I'm sure they'd put a big block in there, it'd be sweeter if it was like NSX or even Ferrari powered.

V-10 Viper FTW ;)

Honestly though guys, that thing is awesomely designed...cab-forward architecture FTW! Anything 350hp + under the hood would be decent.

I really didn't see the fact that he was gonna redo the interior... I actually looked around last night. I can't tell for certain, but I think that's a Lexus motor... which if it is, is pretty stout, I'd say like 230hp or something... I don't have the links here at work, but I saw a lexus engine just like that... and this car, IIRC was co-designed by Lexus or something like that...
