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).
try it and get a movie i couldnt do it at all without a slick road.
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!!! LOL!
It's one of those mindless movies, but it does have a lot of blowing up chit scenes. 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.
ok ok ok clu7ch, you say you can do it, prove it with one of the cars like that truck, but you cant cause you either dont have the car anymore, or its been wrecked or something. i dont believe your story. i dont know why we r still arguing...

Atom and Clutch. I sense an argument brewing. If you want to argue, take it to a PM. This is between you two guys, and not the rest of the forum.

Thats why I think Ice Cube is an awful actor, he tries to hard to be a bad ass. The car in that movie was pretty good looking, but it was still a stupid movie.

no worries Glen! i'm not here to argue. he's entitled to believe that i am a liar and since i no longer have the vehicles and didn't get a vid, i cannot prove anything to him. but i don't have to prove anything to anyone. i know what i did and my friends in the real world witnessed what i did.

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. 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. I don't go to public movies in theaters anymore because of the exhorbitant cost plus the noise level of the audience.
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."
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.
