Can't wait to see this movie. It should be one of Lil' Bow Wow's best performances yet. Umm, yea.

I wonder if the resale value of the RX-7 will go up now that it is the featured car in the movie. It is the feature car right?

nice article, more history then run crash bang. i will see the movei just for the vielside rx-7 but check out this quote. "In the tradition of the first two Fast and Furious films, no aftermarket wing was dismissed as too large. "

Where have you been the last 5 years? Seems like there's less rice in this one than there was the last two.

Well, I'm selling my 04' RX8 and getting a 05' RX8 with SFR turbo.. My bday is July 11, so hopefully I'll have it by that time. As far as the other 'RED' RX8, I wont have a red anymore.. Ill be getting a custom paint job, with all the extra cash I'll have left over from selling the car.

Do you have ANY idea how much insurance on 3rd gen eclipses skyrocketed after it was the hero car in the first movie (until that hundra shota NOZ blew the welds on his diamond plate floor mat). You do NOT want the rx8 to be associated with this kinda stuff... unless you hate money

why take a perfectly good skyline with a perfectly good motor and put it into a perfectly good '60s mustang with a perfectly good motor? that makes no sense. why no convert the skyline to rwd, or have them tune the mustang in one night for drifting which would be more believable than an all night engine swap.

and wtf is up with turning a great 4wd Evo IX into a rwd drift car??? as a 4wd car it's a moster, but rwd - there are better things. hopefully people won't start lineing up at their local garages to turn perfectly good Evo's and Sti's into rwd drifters.

I can drive down the freeway, and just because my car has a body kit, carbon fiber hood, and rear wing, every cop that passes will "gun" me with his instant-on KA, even if I am CLEARLY not speeding!

Vehicular profiling... Grrrrrr!
