damn i saw commercials, looks like there is a 65/66 mustang fastback... i wonder how many of those they bought and destroyed for this retarded movie.... there goes a few more classics off the road....

yup its blue with white stripes. that movie is gonna suck..

i thought they were using 67-68 cars or is theremore than one fastback?

i thought it was a 67? well, i just saw the car in the dark for a half second.

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.

Im up for it.

I miss the charger in the first one :( And the Chevelle and Camaro in the 2nd one. lol i'll just go watch bullit.

i found the movie Bullit surprisingly boring..... considering the car chase and all.

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!

Here it is: Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift MustangNissan (http://cars.ign.com/articles/710/710765p1.html) [sm=badidea.gif]

Dang I just make a front valance just like that. Now everyone will say I copied the movie. I guess l'll have to scrap it!

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


The lone RB-powered car managed to walk away from the film unscathed.

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.

Domestic guys are pissed because this very clean and very classic 'Stang has been outfitted with a treasure trove of Japanese tuning parts.


damn striaght

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!

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.

wow, i didn;t even notice the fartcannon hanging out back there! hey little guy, what are you doing hanging around witht he big boys? don't you know you're gonna get hurt?

there's an intrepid up the street from me with dual fart cans on it that looks cooler than that! the only exhaust this machine needs is 3 inch straight pipes. NO cats NO mufflers, attached to a massively ginormous V8 like a stroked 460 (whatever the final CI-ags would be on that!)


it's a shame enough you see them on the newer mustangs. i kinda feel like jumping off a bridge now. i dunno, maybe it's just me?



EDIT: the important thing is, above all else, it's still a MUSTANG!!!!!! and they can never take that away!

Don't get me wrong. I am not a devotee of the Skyline, but the RB26Dett engine is 2.6 liter, dual overhead cam, 24 valve, twin turbo charged, and
intercooled producing 276 hp @ 6800rpm, capable of handling over 600 hp without
internal modifications. Can a ford engine produce over 600 hp without enternal mods? Nissan finally got the GTR to where it can be exported to the United States. It will be interesting to see whether or not it is the same GTR as they sell in Japan.

Look, Shelby built a 427 Cobra with twin intercoolers boasting over 800hp in the 60s. He gave that car to Bill Cosby (anyone remember the Coz' comedy bit on the Cobra?). How much HP would a twin turbo 4.6l Cobra engine produce?

What are the torque #s for that RB-thing? What is the cost? I can get more HP and torque out of my 289 than that hamste/wheel contraption and I don't have to mortage the homestead in the process.

Screw Nissan, Honda, and Toyota (I do own Honda's btw). I'lll take Ford muscle anyday.

Oh, me too. I don't own any foreign cars. :D The point is though, that for such a small engine, the Japanese have managed to produce a lot of horses from it.

Hey Glen we had an engine like that too.. Buick 3.8L V6 in a GNX.. Anything will make more power by throwin more boost at it. The smaller it is, the more rpm it needs to make power. 276@6800 isnt that impressive, you will need alot of gear to get it moving because there isnt much torque down low. Thats the problem with the tiny engines, you need too much RPM to get the power out. High RPM causes wear and stress on every part in the engine. AN engine built to run 9000 rpm and make 500hp@9000 wont live as long as a 500hp engine that makes its peak at 5500. The lower rpm engine will also need less gear and be alot more tractable on the street.

If your car has to fit some race class with a ci limit, then sure build a small engine. If its on the street or grudge night at the drags, you better bring a big stick.

The mustang with the 6 could do the drifting crap, so they built one with a 430+ ci Windsor. It was built to go sideways so it wouldnt ET very well. The skyline engine was able to get it in the 13's.

Currently in the skunk works here, there are plans for an all aluminum V8 with 425cfm heads that will make 900- 1200hp on pump gas. Sure it wont get great mileage but that isnt the point. :)

My point is the kids who think these engines and cars are so impressive dont know much about cars, engines, and racing. Sure some guys want to go fast with a small engine or whatever, I can understand that because I like to go fast with Pontiacs and Clevelands when I could do it with a chevy like everyone else, I just prefer my engines over the chevy and anything from across the left pond. If these kids knew how easy it is to get power out of V8s and how cheap it really is, they woudnt be playin around with 2L hondas.

So thier cars are lighter, big deal. I am building a street car that will be around 2400-2600lbs and its gettin that aluminum engine I mentioned earlier. Can you say low 8's or high 7's? Sure the engine will cost me around $12k-$15k to build, but that is about how much that amount of HP will cost for any V8. The body will look stock, and it wont look like a race car. Its gonna be real close to the ultimate sleeper.

FWD for most, and AWD for the skyline

i bet if they had RWD and ONLY RWD in all imports, it would be half the power

Huh? What does AWD or RWD have to do with the power of the engine?

ORIGINAL: Soaring

Understood. But why all the hubbub over a 2.6 turbo? Honda makes the 2.0l S2000 engine - normally aspirated - producing 240 hp / 153 ft·lb of torque at 7,500 rpm.

As noted, there is squat for torque in any of these cars. Try getting off the line in that rice-fed '67 Mustang against a 289 2v.

The Gtr is a rear wheel drive car until the front drive is needed. They have 293 torque lb. ft. at 4400 RPM and go 0-60 in 5.2 seconds. They are quick.

slight improvements are achieved by FWD, but on low hp vehicles such as these, it does make a difference. The biggest gain they get in performance is the light weight of all the parts that move. If they dont have to handle torque, they can be built much lighter. Its also why high HP hondas need new halfshafts and they waste transmissions regularly. They are always broke it seems. I dont mind alittle more heft if I dont have to rebuild it every week, month or year.

The drivetrain doesnt affect the engines output, only what the wheels see.

Well I have always blamed this series of movies for the increase in street racing. This line of films has preaty much killed the scene for street racing, cops now are harsher, kids are getting killed trying to drag race in thier moms ford escort. Now we are going to have people trying to drift in honda's and lets not forget about mom's escort lol. so like the first movie that killed the cool street racing scene, this third movie is going to kill the drifting scene.

well we can hope it kills the drifting scene.. Who in their right minds would want to make a car handle worse and slide around? I mean do they think they have a sprint car or something? WORLD OF OUTLAWS HONDA!.. yeah right.

i thought it was a challenger, nope forget that. i just remembered the hood, it was a "hemi" cuda





and Glen, as per them bringing the japanese skyline over here, nope. it's getting the same motor as the G35 (which is technically the "american" skyline), but twin turbo'd and will look like ass compared to the rest of them, unless they have changed the concept. here's the pic they have been throwing around.

I've got my flamesuit ready, just in case. Now, I'm not a big American Muscle Car guy. I think they are cool cars, and I appreciate them, in fact I think up until the mid to late 70s American cars were the best in the world, albeit not my personal taste. That said, I don't get what the big deal is with a car like a skyline. My Porsche (keep in mind it's an '89) made 247 hp from the factory, and it's a 2.5L I4. Right now it's making probably a little over 300hp at the wheels, with all stock internals. I know of plenty that are making 500+hp at the wheels that aren't incredibly worked. Granted, when those cars were new people paid a premium, but I haven't heard anything about the skyline being preiced competitively against the corolla. So I don't get what the big deal is, the Japanese are now getting similar power to what the Germans were producing 20 years ago? Whoop dee doo.

What they've done to this Mustang that they've bastardized for this stupid film is take a piece of art and automotive history, and shoe horn an engine into it that is devoid of any personality, history, or soul. If you ask me, that muffler is perfect for that car, it is ugly, stupid, out of place, and you can count on it sounding terrible as well. I just feel bad for what that car might have been, in the hands of someone who deserved it.

They had an article about it in this months hot rod. Don't know if you all saw it.

Well remove all reason and logic, add in short skirts and baggy pants, people not knowing what double clutching is or why it was used, put it on film and have valuable cars trashed instead of cookie cutter econoboxes and kids will line up for it...

Why?

Its simple. They dont know any better... No reason or logic in the midst of them, just deep pockets filled with mommy and daddys cash. Not all of them, but 99.999% of them are that way. its getting really really annoying hearing fart cans. Thats why my daily driver hasnt gotten a new muffler since the headers went on. the hole makes the Harley riders jump.. :)

although I love the nostalgia and memories of the old American muscle cars, you have to appreciate the rice from a power delivery standpoint (both my STI and 87 Supra will crush my 66 with the 302 - even though my stang has about the same torque as the STI, the STI's AWD gets it moving)

I don't think you get it. Those cars are 35 years newer then yours they better beat yours only thing is what if you put the extra 10 to 20 grand that you spent on those cars on your stang. then what car would be better?

this is what i like, read the bottom right corner of this article! dumb asses put that motor in there for no reason! they still needed a 430 ci windsor motor to drift this thing! so technically the car couldn't work right as a drift machine with the skyline motor (um, duh!) so they only used it for the "main" car. hence why it didn't get busted up.

http://medusa.mcs.uvawise.edu/~zjl5c/scan0003.jpg


you know what i'm thinking, someone saw the 25th anni. edition of the origional gone in 60 seconds and figured, hey we can smash up classica and this will be an instant hit! wrong, "elanore"(sp) was not a classic at the time of that movie. it was a few years old, trade in time to our cars now a days.



Thanks to ideal for the scan pic of the mag artical. just had to make sure that was pointed out!

what mag is that?

it was ideal's pic. i dunno, but the pics look familiar. i think i saw them on the pre-dominatly f-body forum, semb. dumb ****, but i really was rolling on the floor when i read about the drift stang needing the 430 to drift. hmmm, makes ya think, maybe they don't know what they are doing.


oh, i know what i'm gonna do (and for two reasons) first i'm only gonna watch the movie till they decide the skyline motor's going in, than i leave and request my money back. the second reason for this is, wanting to make it home with out getting hit by some douche in a civic or s2000! cops should chill there the day it releases and just bust these dumbasses. there would be so many impounded cars, they'd be able to put a huge dent into the budget and help lessen taxpayers taxes! LOL!

It is in this issue of Hot Rod Magazine. Theres a whole writeup about it. Did you also notice in the big picture with all the cars, the chevy have a shell to a fastback sitting on it.

yeah, and the one on the very top right, the chevy, also seems to have a skyline motor in it too.

well, all i have to say is wtf! we need to build a time machine and all move back to the1960's.

hey, going back there was a site from ign i think that had a bit of info, sumone pikd up on they said they only recked the regular-old v6's, but they say it had 280 metric horspower, wat is that. and just to for the sake of knowing wat year is it cause from the dash ans side panels and the chrome on the back i think its a 68 wat do u say.

ok..... so yesturday my brother and his 2 friends decided to make me drive them to go see the movie. it wasnt too bad, lots of crashing, but still they put that Ricer engine in the mustang![:@] yea, i would give it a 2 out of 5, but i love all cars, i just would never own a import or anything besides a ford car. after the movie, i saw at least 3 people trying to drift IN the parking lot of the theatre. i knew that would happen. and then on the road this guy in his ugly white scion box pulls up to me at the light. mind you im carrying to fat kids and my brother in my 90 fox. so he farts with his can and then takes off when the light turns green then i see him slow down about a mile later and then i finally catch up to him and he has this giant grin on his face. at the light, i took someone elses advice and when i pulled up next to him i yelled "hey, i would be happy to kick your ass at the track this weekend, but thats only if your mom will let you have the car again!" then i burned out and turned onto another street.

i dont think you can do it in a RWD car. what they were doing was while turning a sharp turn they would pull the handbrake to lock the back 2 wheels while the front 2 wheels kept pulling and since it was a turn or curve the back of the car would swing out cause it was being pulled. so no i dont think you can.

a drift is held ONLY if ur car is RWD..see that ways the Rear provides movement whilst steering with the front 2 wheels...so quite literally you are drifting because the back wheels are all over the place...my cousin who drifts with a 240sx says its like doing a power slide on steriods....and he reckons you need to have a RWD

well all those mitsubishi's and other imports and the porsche are all FWD, unless they did something to them so they could drift in the movie.

that car was a lancer...the amount of mods u chuck in those things at that level u can get a car driving upside!!!!! Porsche's are mostly ALWAYS RWD or AWD...

HUH? nOOb! der da der der!

well, as was stated RWD is the better platform for drift. having RWD will allow you to first GET your car sideways (w/o the e-brake) and second KEEP it sideways by still pushing the car while the front steer in the direction you want it to go. it's a little like driving on ice, lots of counter steering. now, FRD you have to lock up the rears, so you start to slow down (it's inevitable). even with the front still "driving" the car, it slows down so you have to cut the e-brake in and out (usually. if you're set up good, you can just brake hard and cut the traction out and than drift out from there).

well whenever they did that way without the e-brake, they would smash into the wall or another car. i know ive only drifted in ym fox was when it was raining or icey on the road, never when it was dry.

all the e-brake is used for is to cut out the traction of the wheels so the drift can begin. you can do that, STOMP the brakes and cut all traction, than jump back on the gas as you cut the wheel or inertia (almost like a fish tail or start of a burnout; cut away from the drift and back in and this time open the throttle.) to send the ass end out, than counter steer and go.

It's so much easier with the E-Brake if you don't use the e-brake it makes it almost impossible too drift correctly.

And after the movie I had a Silverado, a Jetta and a 87 CRX, try ot race me as I was cassually driving home. What the hell?

OH and clutch have you actually tried that? It's a lot harder then your making it sound to be.

not true. yes, it does make it EASIER, but it's not almost impossible to do without the e-brake. example: you have a hard turn coming up, (RWD) you slow to enter the turn and as you cut thru, you drop a gear and floor it and counter steer. this (if done right) will send the ass end out. if you line up right you can hold it for a bit and drift thru the turn, countering back to your correct line.

rent "the drift bible" and you'll see 6 ways to drift, only one (maybe two) use the e-brake.

yes, i have. in a MR2, a s10 blazer (thought i was rolling that one!), and my 89 fox 4-banger (hard as **** to do on dry ground with the 4 banger, but can be done).

i never claimed that any of it was easy. like anything else it takes time and practice. and above all, i NEVER claimed to be a pro at drifting. it's not on top of my to do list. i enjoy getting loose, but understand the dangers involved, especially on public roads and highways. prefer to do it on a track in a controlled environment, unlike these F&F fans who think they are invincible until they **** up and hit a tree at a buck plus cause they lowered their car so far they hit a pebble and went airborn.

Did you guys happen to see the movie "State Of The Union" starring Ice Cube? They had a 67 or 68 that didn't get wrecked. Looked like an eleanor though. They also had what they called a Shelby proto type. 225 MPH. :D It got wrecked though. [:o]

okay if you had said MAKE instead of GET i would have figured that out w/o reading that about 40 times! and what kind of car/motor/tranny was it? that plays a big part. i no longer have my 89, so i can't now. my friends mr2 blew a head gasket about 7 months ago (he always talked **** about how mustang guys "couldn't ever take their car for a spin cause they were constantly working on them" and he hasn't had a hand in the repair of his own car, he hired . . . . . . . . a mustang guy!!!) and still doesn't have his car on the road. as per the blazer, yeah, 31" tires, 5-speed, 3.8L V6, going sideways for about 10 seconds seemed like an entire day! i just couldn't get it to come back! to put it nicely, i shat myself.



Glen, i heard that movie was garbage tho. i mean everyone said ice cube was a horrible actor in that one and it (and the first) had a bit of a F&F vibe to it. now that i know there's some killer cars involved, i might just check it out to and if you like it it's gotta be decent. my step dad is 54 and he hates most of todays movies (and i don't blame him. you cannot ride a motorcycle thru rush hour traffic, turn around and shoot at someone and not run into something!) so i figure you'd prolly be the same. i'll tell ya what, you really can't beat the old black and whites tho! those movies are better than cocaine!!!

ok, sinces your being literal, make a movie, you in a RWD car, not using the e-brake, drifting.

i couldnt do it in any of our cars, and we have 4 mustangs and an escape. granted i didnt do it in my dads mustangs or my mom's escape, and my 69 isnt driveable right now.

just wanted to seperate these two sentances cause they don't work together.

okay, so you couldn't do it in any of your cars. there were five (5) of your cars, including your parents cars. and you didn't use your mom's car, your dad's cars or your 69, leaving 1 car, which would be underpowered or you are scared of it. i'm not talking crap. i was scared poo-less when i went to do it the first few times. find a clear place, preferable a track with few people on it and spaced out pretty well. try gunning it a little in the turns, but be ready to counter steer or throw it in reverse and move outta the way! LOL! oh, and having posi is a BIG help. when i did it the one time on dry ground with my 89 4 banger, i hit the turn really fast and ran all the way up the sidewall of the front p/s tire. there were marks from the street about an 1/8th of an inch away from my rim (195/75/14's i believe).

It's one of those mindless movies, but it does have a lot of blowing up chit scenes. :D Yeah, Ice Cube is a god awful actor, but he does the tough guy thing pretty well. Nothing in the movie is believable.....that's hollywood. It does have some cool cars and trucks in it though.

well i love seeing chit blow up and cool cars. as per the hollywood thing, i agree as long as the movie was after 80's (ish). there was a time where movies were good and believeable. i mean, yeah, there were some black and whites that weren't realistic, The Incredible Shrinking Man, and the one with the scientist who went into a time machine or something with a fly and got spliced with the fly. (i'm gonna feel real stoopid when y'all tell me what that movie is!), but a lot better than today and the acting was alot better. i dunno, maybe it's cause i love the things protrayed in them about the time period they were made in.

Fart Cannon on a 67' (looks like a little Shelby styling) with a Nissan engine........................i wonder what Carrol Shelby thinks about that..............i thought i had seen everything but these fast and furious guys never cease to amaze me......what a cluster fu*k

WOW! those 69's are fuggin sweet! lemme know when you wanna get rid of them i'll sell you my sole, my mom's sole, my pop's sole and my little bros sole!

So I just saw this movie today and the only part I liked was at the end with the charger. God that thing sounded wonderful.

was it the same one with the backwards spining s/c from the first movie. did vin get out and go "quite granny shifting honkey! that nbdettebkjaf346986735kjsdbgakdb isn't made for that!"

Nah this was a different car, though I like how they had him come back for all of 5 minutes and in a classic like that to race against the lil ricers.

And side note, If it wasnt for the fact that this was a family outting and there was a pretty full theater Id have yelled when they dropped the nissian in the mustang.

that's why i'm a little peeved they took down the multiplex in woodbridge. but than again, knowing the area, they would have been either cheering or complaining, "that motor don't belong in there dawg!" "that car's too old and heavy to go fast, stoopid honkey!"

and i would have ended up in jail for beating up a bunch of ricers!!!

Yeah Ive never seen so many asians in one movie theater in my life. I was afraid of them too...

I booed, shoulda seen how many people turned and stared at me. I smiled. :D I've never seen so many asians wearing VTEC stuff. Some guy was talkin to his "homie" infront of me about how he found a part for his exhaust that made it sound like a turbo spooling (if i heard right and i think i did).

My option to those racial situations, is to not attend them. :D I don't go to public movies in theaters anymore because of the exhorbitant cost plus the noise level of the audience.

Thats why I love living in a small town. After opening night, there are maybe 7 or 8 more people at the most in the theatre with you.

After seeing the movie, it wasnt that bad. Just be happy they didnt put ugly body kits and paint on the mustang. A kid in the audience did say, " I let them rent my civic for the movie.":D

I went to see the movie at the 11:30pm showing for $8.50 and I will say it was an ok movie. The best moments in the movie include the Monteo Carlo vs the Viper, and the end with vin diesel in the Buick (im guessing a GS). At the end of the movie they still had police in the parking lot just incase of stupidity. It seems every F&F movie is only good as the muscle car cameos. I don't agree with putting a Skyline engine in the Mustang, but at least the put the mustang in the movie. The true testament is that they had to use big block engines to actually get the Mustang to drift.

As far as the impact of the movie on the street racing community, it will only fuel a summer of stupidity that will probably ware off like it did with the other movies. Sadly though there will be too many accidents with kids thinking they can drift or street race just because they saw the movie. The street racing scene in my area (North Carolina) is allready full of fart cans glued to boxes on wheels, we don't need anymore showing up to race. While I don't look highly upon the import tuner scene, they have made a humiliation of many Mustang owners out here. And you can blame the Mustang owners for taking stock V6 and GT 1999-04 Mustangs and racing kids that have their parents fueling their 5-10k in mods under the hood of their import.

There will always be the import vs american muscle war, and movies like Tokyo Drift only fuel it. I just wish in my area at least there were more savvy Mustang owners that would show who the winner of that war is. Until then I will get to watch kids in Honda Preludes dust GT Mustangs. Bottom line is if the imports can beat these mustangs, it doesn't matter how you get the HP to the wheels.

yea i saw that too, he mustve been reading past threads, but id agree with what he says, except the fact that i have never seen a honda prelude beat a new GT, and i have seldom seen a ricer car with mods under the hood. this guy mustve live in a rich area. o well, either way, it got too 100 replies and this is 101, most ive ever seen on here.

syea that was on TV not too long ago, and the viper won almost every race

yeah, i noticed last night this got pulled from like page 7 and was someone's first post?![&:]

the stangs are kicking ass in the drift comp and the viper, if i'm not mistaken, was chosen by a japanese drifter who is racing for usa.

watch that thing drift and than go play any of the gt's and drive normal in the viper! that game is so biased that the damn american RWD cars spin if your doing 15mph thru a slight bend!

I will clear a few things up:

1.)Yes it was my first post, sorry for not introducing myself. I grew up with Mustangs and all Ford vehicles in general, and I love the racing scene as much as I do the off-roading hobby.

2.)Was searching for some spec info on the Buick at the end of the movie via google, and ended up upon this thread. Checked the last dated reply and figured it couldn't be that old. Guess I was wrong.

3.)The Prelude in question is a 92 SI with a turbo kit, he beat an 03 GT by about half a car length in approx 1.5 mile race from exit to exit on highway I-485.

4.)Yeah I do live in what has become a rich area, where the mommy's and daddy's buy their kids Lexus's etc. I remember back in high school the student parking lot was full of 40k-50k vehicles. So yeah, the only reason most of these imports are hooked up is because mommy and daddy flipped the bill.

musta been a BONE STOCK stang. preludes can get quick, compared to a four banger. i raced one (i believe it was a 94) with my 89 4 banger fox. he took me by maybe 2 car legnths at about 1/2 mile. this was with a nasty valve tap and the tranny bushings being shot and causing the trans to bounce around during shifts and angle the d/s, losing more of the few ponys it had. hooked up real good off the line tho!

It was a bone stock mustang, most mustangs you see out here are bone stock guys that think they can beat anything. They need to learn to invest some money into their cars. Just so happens the guy with the Prelude also has a 5.0 GT Fox Body in the family via ownership of his dad.

well, than, serves him right, getting beat by a lude.

the way i see it, if you are still stock, get outta the way. i have plans to throw a s/c or turbo on my 3.8L buick, after the suspension upgrade that is.

my fault, when you said new i thought you were meaning 05/06 new, not 40 horses slower new:D unless of course, if you were talking about the mach 1.

i noticed that somebody down there mentioned that they swapped engines I recommend rewatching the movie the engine block was missing from the mustang, and they probably bought a wreck or wrecks and restored them for the movie as it would be cheaper to do that as any owner of one of these cars would ask for a fortune if they knew there was a possibility the car would be trashed and if the owners didn't ask for a fortune then chances are the car sucks anyway and to top it all off the car looked more like a shelby gt kit with some improvisions to make it look like a mustang and for all we know all of the mustangs used could have been kit cars which are horrible replicas anyway so who gives a shiat[sm=bicker.gif]

This sucks, I cant believ that the site that was linked at the beginning apologized to the ricers for the engine being put into an old stang, but they didn't apologize for the wrecked classics mustangs. How lame is that???

I can't be;lieve how many views this thread has!:D I watched the movie for the first time last night and laughed all the way through it... Makes me wanna be a drift king;)...... NOT (in the words of Borat)

I guess what pisses me off about the movie is that now everyone thinks the damn ricers are where the drifitng all started and in Japan as well and now a lot of you guys talk $h!t about drifting because its a "ricer thing"

Drifiting is awesome and its not a ricer game can anyone say group B?

These are arguably some of the worlds best drivers I hope maybe this video will shed some light on real drifitng. Please remember these drivers before talking down on drifting

And by the way, They took 67 FB's and kitted them to look like shelby's. had you read the thread you brought back form the dead, you would have known that.

Oh, and as Jam said, Japanese didn't invent drifting. They loved rally racing and decided they wanted to do it on pavement. Thats where drifting came from.

i noticed that somebody down there mentioned that they swapped engines I recommend rewatching the movie the engine block was missing from the mustang, and they probably bought a wreck or wrecks and restored them for the movie as it would be cheaper to do that as any owner of one of these cars would ask for a fortune if they knew there was a possibility the car would be trashed and if the owners didn't ask for a fortune then chances are the car sucks anyway and to top it all off the car looked more like a shelby gt kit with some improvisions to make it look like a mustang and for all we know all of the mustangs used could have been kit cars which are horrible replicas anyway so who gives a shiat[sm=bicker.gif]

I guess what pisses me off about the movie is that now everyone thinks the damn ricers are where the drifitng all started and in Japan as well and now a lot of you guys talk $h!t about drifting because its a "ricer thing"

Drifiting is awesome and its not a ricer game can anyone say group B?

These are arguably some of the worlds best drivers I hope maybe this video will shed some light on real drifitng. Please remember these drivers before talking down on drifting

+1, Those guys that drove the Group B cars were and still are absolutely amazing. I would love to be able to spend a day with one of those drivers, I would be able to learn so much.

Don't get me wrong I think drifting is awesome, but i would not do it in a ricer car... the best line of the movie was he called the ricers toys:D, I know a guy here in cruces with a camaro and he drifts and it is pretty awesome.
