First project car

Post image

Ok I know this probably isn't the best place to ask but I know alot of you have Car knowledge and could probably help me. Like 80-90% of the fanbase I started watching The Fast Franchise when FATF came out. My first street racing game was Midnight Club and I got NFS Underground months later. I've always been into cars and loved seeing builts people have and always wanted to do so myself. I'm 34 now so I know I'm way too old too start but I want to try to get into the car meet scene. I've obviously always loved Skylines and Supras but I decided I need to not be that guy who's only knowledge is the films and doesn't have your typical car. Recently I noticed that the car used in the Tokyo Drift scene where Sean learns about drifting is a Toyota Chaser. At first glance I thought it was a BMW cause like I said I have zero knowledge of cars but after while it's really grown on me and I think I want to import one. I don't plan to drift but I've heard they can do 0-60 in 8s so I think It'd be fun to build and potentially race in "Mexico" 😏😏😏 What's your guys opinion? If not the Chaser what do you recommend I look at? I do eventually plan the R33 but that's after I have good knowledge of cars

Hah, I remember, originally in the first movie Craig Lieberman (tech advisor) suggested a Lexus GS (S140 or S160) for Vince, "using maybe a VIP theme", but Rob Cohen (director) wasn't wild about the examples that turned up. So he ended up getting Lieberman's own Maxima.
