when i saw the preivew in theatres i coulda sworn it was a 65/66 fastback. but thats beyond the point, they used the mustang in a movie again, and they probably trashed 4 or 5 to make the movie. and who knows, if this one has a big role, someone will make a 'clone' and sell it and others may do the same.
its the ultimate ricer movie, it actually takes place in japan......

i swear. If someone starts putting in import motors in old mustangs, and starts selling them, Everyone on the forum needs to get together, and kick their asses.

Yea i saw that one too and found out its like a 67 BUT what KILLED IT was that they swaped out the engine and put in a nissan skyline engine in it. the engine is a inline 6 turbo that messures out at 2.6L lol. i was mad when i found this out!

Oh, and to all you kids worrying about the Skyline motor -- all the "crashed" Mustangs were equipped with a regular-old V6.
i'm glad these ricers cleared this one up for me. i never knew the classics had regular-old V6's

oh, and god forbid, god forbid they kill one with a ricer motor in it.
i say **** this! let's boycott all of these movies, we must save out classics! what next a model t with a sylvia motor in it?! our childrens children will never know what classics are after hollywood and F&F are done with them.
the crashed ones were actually well built 351s. I think its kinda cool to see something different in a classic mustang. For example a couple months back in I think MM&FF there was a 63 falcon with an original straight 6 that ran 13.20s with the help of a small turbo. Buuuut, having said that I hope this idea of import motors in classic sheetmetal doesnt catch on. It was cool once, and lets leave it at that. Oh, and for more info on the movie cars, check out this months issue of HOT ROD.

I hate the idea of putting a Skyline engine in a classic Mustang too. But, I will say this......When I was working in Japan, my son was in high school, and I bought him a Nisssan Skyline. It had been beefed up, but the engine was the straight 6. I have been driving hot rods since I was just a kid, and I am telling you, that was the fastest car I have ever driven, to include my 03 Mach 1.

+1, i have read a bit into them and have a dvd all about the skyline (flame suit on!). they are some powerful cars. easy "tune" to 1000HP the AWD is crazy, rear until the rear shakes loose and the front kicks in to keep the car from spining out. but, once again, no need to have one in classic, maybe a fox, but not a classic!
Oh, great. Now we get to hear classic American muscle wind up like sewing machine with Yuban-can exhaust. Puhleaze!
Japan still can't compete with the big boys. Their miserable attempt to break into Top Fuel Funny cars illustrates this. So, instead people try to justify this by going after 40-50 year-old technology with the modern rice-age. That mentality is about as intelligent as comparing a Ford focus to a '68 Corolla. What's the point?
These Too Fast, Too Stupid films serve no purpose.
