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.

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.

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

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 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
Why would you bring this back?
