eclipse gsx and gst




no bodykit can make the stock look any better, supra, mr2, even GC USDM impreza all can look better with smoething small or subtle, but the 2G 97-99 gsx/gst was just nice with the factory sides and spoiler, even the rims were clean!

also 4g63, awd, lsd stock damn! crankwalk scared away tuners who shouldnt be messing around with them to begin with. hah

I may be a bit biased, but it is all about the pagoda top Benz!

Gotta give it to the MkIV supra, for being a early 90's car, it was way way ahead of its time in styling.

I think the title of the thread speaks clearly enough....
AGED GRACEFULLY.....


that means the cars had to be graceful to begin with. Quality designs that have stood the test of time and are still appreciated as nice. Designs that are still be copied today.

Not cars that look good modified.


The z is a solid contribution for sure. Car is 40 years old and still looks great... even stock. Though slammed on some wide tires it looks way better. LOL.

When I first saw the thread title my mind first went to the Jaguar E-Type but I was so thrilled to see someone post a 2nd gen MR2! I used to have a 93 in that same color. Any Ferrari 250 would do as well. Especially the GTO, GTB, and GTL models.

The gtb is one of my all time favorites. I nearly put the 61-66 xjk. Beauty.

Is this a polite way of saying that the GC Impreza doesn't fit this category?

The F355 may not have the performance numbers of the newer Ferrari's, but it is still such a beautiful car and I would love to own one some day. That and the Ferrari F40 are still some of my favorite Ferrari's from the past 30 years.
