Today on Past Gas-why the ‘90s was the golden age of supercars. The lightning fast McLaren F1, the objectively sexy Lamborghini Diablo, and the very weird and very amazing Vector W8-are just a few, of the many 90’s exotics, that made our list. What made this era of supercars, ‘super’ special? How did Muscle Cars pave the path for modern exotics? And most importantly of all… could we ever see another golden age of these high performance, high price autos? Join James, Nolan, and Joe, as we turn back the clock to the 1990’s, and revisit these wild, dangerously appealing machines.

@joeleonard9965 3 жыл бұрын

@@matthewreise120 I've never driven a Countach but I've ridden in one, and the 450hp is surprisingly quick but nothing crazy. The intake sound is to die for. I think the Countach works because it has all of the quirkiness and lack of practicality but makes up for it in a ton of character in the driving experience. The Diablo was slightly worse in handling but lacked the personality to make up for it. Only with 90s Chrysler quirks instead of italian endearing ones. The most accurate description of the Diablo I've heard is that it drives like a mid-engine BMW 850CSI, if you can visualize that.

@@joeleonard9965 well, you obviously have more real world experience with that car than I do (was just basing my comment on various KZfaq vids).

The final XJ220 was a compromise on top of a compromise; the XJ220 was originally planned to be a V12 - the same that was in the XJR-15 Sport (also developed by TWR). Due to budget limitations, it ended up with the V6 Twin Turbo from the Group B rally Mini Metro instead. People put in pre-orders for XJ220s and were disappointed when what they got had half the number of cylinders they were promised.

I was one of those Diablo poster kids and also had a red 1:18 die cast. This podcast just made me realize how little they are ever seen in the wild or how I never see anyone doing reviews or driving them on line. Isn't it odd how the poster boy of super cars never sees the light of day?

I actually had a Carmen Electra poster but not a Diablo poster. Obviously the Diablo is BOSS- but my heart was still set on a Countach. (Countach is a weird word). I actually sat in a Countach once! Also the Countach seemed plenty big enough at the time- then again I was eight. (Eight is also a weird word).

Just going off data that was quickly available 2,885 Diablos were sold with an msrp ~$239,000 and 30 GTRs were sold at ~$310,000, bringing total revenue from Diablos to $698,576,000.00. If Diablo posters were sold at $5 it would mean that 139,715,201 posters would need to be sold to beat revenue from the actual Diablo. According to the world bank, 29.83% of the world population of 6.19B were kids (1-14) in 2001, which would mean 7.6% of kids around the world would need to have had posters (@$5) to beat revenue from the car.

I was bummed but my friend said i could get some uprgraded parts with the insurance money so it wasnt all bad. It gets crazier cause after being at a fast food place with the tow truck lady and some friends i woke up from some wierd sounds. Turns out someone was breaching from a dive out of the nearby hole leading into the ocean. After a few minutes talking to these dudes I knew I was in another dream and started slapping myself to wake up which worked.
