point well taken, i looked back and noticed you answered that question on the first page, i stand corrected. and the phrase is "catch my drift "

 

FF is Point Break... SAME DAMN MOVIE

anyways i hated FF, and i hope to god Mazda does not put an RX8 in the film.

 

Both were ok, it's all about the cars anyway, not the story.

 

I have a feeling they'll bust out a Mustang Cobra for Vin Disel drifting since he used an US cars in the 1st movie.

Even if it's a bad story, they do a pretty decent job with the race scenes... I hope they show more wrecks and such. Since that's part of Drifiting and racing... lots of mangled cars, scattered pieces, human wreckage.

 

...but Umbra - the cars were 'crappy' too...

 

Well I'm gonna order 1000 park bench spoilers to sell after this one. Anyone wanna be my parter?

 

Um.. Vin's character's main whip in FF wasn't a US car.. it was an FD, and a pretty fierce one at that.

The black Charger was his DAD's whip. The only time he drove it in the flick was to go chase down the punks on bikes (and home-run one of 'em into a 'cliff' with the door.. priceless. :D )

From what I've heared, Vin Diesel kept the FD.

Were I him, I'd keep it.. but lose the stupid stick-on graphics and the veilside kit.. I like the FD nice and naked. :D :D

 

I really hope that they DO NOT put an RX-8 as the main car. If its in the backround its ok, but an RX-8 as the main car guarantees that it will be insanely ricified into living hell.

 

really is that so, i never saw the 1st one, just the second, and it sucked ***** but it was still cool cuz of the riced out cars racing and the nawzz!!!

 

It's just entertainment..don't lie, yall will see them at some point.

 

Yeah, when it comes out on network or cable TV... I'm not spending a dime on this tripe, the 2nd one was that bad.. just like the matrix. I didn't bother with the 3rd one.

 

Ah man, these movies ruin cars and make me wanna jam something in my eye because of the terrible acting

Oh well, heh.

 

Not only did Vin drive a FD in FF, in the sequence where they "fly through" the interior of the engine, it is acutally a wankel engine complete with whooshing rotors.

You guys are overthinking these movies. Of course they're mindless popcorn movies aimed at teenage males. They have fast cars, hot babes and a hip soundtrack. Add some good car crashes and you satify the target demographic. My two teenage sons enjoy them and I will admit I do too. I don't mistake it for a documentary.

For those of you old enough to remember the sixties, was it the intricate plot or marvelous acting the made "Easy Rider" such a hit? This is the same formula: eye candy, escapism and a driving soundtrack.

 

Yes they do a great job showing the many beneifts of Downshifting in a drag race, Drag races that take 2minutes, and cars that have 11 gears.

TAKE NOTES

 

Fast cars? Heh

Unfortunately most of the cars in these movies end up not being that fast, especially in number 2. Almost all of the cars in it were stock except for the exterior/interior, and weren't anything special in the speed category. Of course you wouldn't know that with the way they portray them in certain scenes.

And yah, I agree with BigOLundh, watch Fast and the Furious 1 again and take note of all the weird stuff like that! Drag races going on for 2-3 minutes, shifting 14 times during the race, the floor pan falling off? What's up with that? Danger to manifold! And then of course once the eclipse hits 140 (I think that was it) he automatically goes into a spin! And remember, nitrous makes the top end higher, but only the big bottles! Hahaha

 

Hmm doubtful, they did not ricefy the RX-7 in the first movie. They kept it very clean with a Veilside Body kit I believe....no Rice with that.

 

yea, a double shot of nos makes the bolts in your floorpan loosen.

also, every car enthusiast is some ridiculous b-boy wannabe with extreme attitude and a million tatoos. oh yea, and the vinyl on the sides of the car is just as important as whats going on under the hood...

 

I wanted to get a set of those Veilside rims that were on the FD in the first movie. Then I found out that they cost over $800 a rim! Oh well...

 

thats not too bad considering our STOCK rims are like 650 a piece, and the dark chrome are 750

 

Whoa, I didn't realize that, you can get 19" Volks for that price.

 

yep you can buy lots of different high quality brands of rims for that much.

 

The stock wheels retail at $500 and go for about $400 from the online dealers.

And they're that expensive because, for 18s, they're really not that heavy at only ~22lbs. The similarly-designed, but much heavier, 17" rims on the Mazda6 are only about $250 each.

 

the majority of people dont go online to buy wheels, they buy them from the dealer for 500 dollars, and at 500 dollars, you are still talking about one hell of an expensive stock rim, most good aftermarket wheels cost around 500 dollars
