DSM didn't have a great showing in movies or games so they tend to be forgotten!

Most people definitely don’t realize the Dodge Stealth, Talon, etc had Mitsubishi counterparts and vice versa.

It didn't last long enough in the movie to get a following!
And like the twins they had the Mitsu logo on everything no matter which model.

Actually the Eclipses had a great following until the next gen came out and even the second movie couldn’t save them. But that green Eclipse has been copied probably more than any other car from the movie. It was even given more screen time in the cult teenage classic Sex Drive seen racing the GTO here:

My parents rented a room out for a young guy when I was in my early teens. He had a silver Eclipse GS. I remember thinking that the Eclipse was a great looking car with a large variety of offerings like the RS/GS/GST/GSX. Too bad Mitsubishi abandoned the tuner community with the next gen (bloated 4cy NA and V6).

What I do know is that with the first F&F movie, the cars that were selected were sort of the "luck of the draw". There were better cars out there, but the producers of the movie merely chose from the vehicles that showed up to the casting call. No 240s really showed up, just like many other cool tuner cars, because nobody really cared. My dad's Supra was chosen simply because it left an impression on Rob after a ride along, so that's the only reason that specific Supra was chosen, and not something more extreme like one of the 800+hp Supras that were out there. As far as the value goes, it's anybody's guess really. I believe F&F played a bit of a role in the market demand for them, but I'm sure they would've held good value regardless. With Paul's passing, the Supra, R34, and franchise gained even more attention, in my opinion. Because of Paul's death, I wouldn't be surprised if the original Hero Supra could fetch $1 million plus without much difficulty. But who knows.

fastandfuriousfacts.com is a site he manages now where he's compiled a bunch of info on the movies; since there's so much false/inaccurate nonsense floating around the internet these days.
