You know what!? Don't want anyone ricing out your car, then go get this one. Long time ago I would have KILLED to have this car, that was well before it went into production and became all electric. Whatever. I can almost guarantee if you buy this, no worries about anyone ricing it out

Anyone expected an award winning nomination is barking up the wrong tree.
i hate it because people take the words of these movies as a bible and believe it... especially young teens... although i admit... i watch these movies for fun... i don't expect it to be 100% accurate... but people that don't know much about cars do take it seriously...

NICE!!!, I know this movies are normaly lame and predictible, but, I like the cars and that;s enough for me to go see them. Besides, the girls (at least the ones form the trailer), are N I C E ! ! . But there's one thing, I can't imagine the Z owners now... they are going to feel "King of the scene"... anyway, I guess we'll have to deal with that.

Well they cant do a movie about Lambos and have street racers driving them. Thats not what Lambo owners do. So they use Honda and Mitsu just like the street racers do.

This is funny, because alot of people talk crap about the movie but they'll probably end up watching it anyway. Most RX-8 owners will watch the movie and look for the RX-8 too. Anyways, this movie is just to entertain and if you paid to watch the movie then it did it's job.

I guess on film that is ok, but in real life that would just look dumb as hell.

Thats the point of a show car like this, to look awsome and not have to worry about real life or practicality.

Paul walker actually drove. The director in the second one was afraid of him because of some of the shots he wanted to do. You know where he slides to a stop right after winning the race? In an interview I saw he was talking about how they set up a cone and made sure he wouldn't hit them because the director was afraid. haha.

Damn someone needs to use punctuation. I had to read the message 3 times to get more than the gist of it, and still some of it was eluding me.

They are using these cars for the same reason they use cute actors - they camera so well. An Rx-8 - just standard is one of the most beautiful bodies ever put over an engine. 20 years from now this will be the classic car of our time - just like the old red and white Chevy or the bat-man Buick, or the port hole Buick were the class of their time.
This car is not just a 'chick trap', it attracts guys - old, young, and even kids - even Little old Ladies and like the Beach Boy's sand - There's no body meaner than the little old Lady from Pasadena---
This car can only grow in value!
