[SVTVNM]

Image 9, looks promissing, white Ford GT and in backgrooung yellow 07/08 mustang with the Eleanor kit, this car is seen exploding in the preview trailer.

Sad thing is i know i will go and see it with mates... ahh well if nothing else i'll get a laugh

[Falcon Coupe]

Looking at the trailer it will be entertaining as they normally are, just pretend we don't know about cars and enjoy it bs and all.

Quite surprising to see Vin Diesel and Paul Walker teaming up again, they should spice it up a little.

[Jason[98.EL]]

have to love the scene pinching from the mad max era at the start ( steeling fuel from the tanker ) but a bit more action involved

if this is happening i will def be watching it

Grimus

[asusdragon]

i will go see it and most likely buy it too . i dont mind the FF movies better then some of the crap i have seen. though i doubt it will be as good as the 1st one.

[LTDHO]

I'm a fan of I & II but tokyo drift sucked.
IV is supposed to be set after II which is good as I can betend III never existed.

[Cobra]

The Farce & the Ficticious rears it's ugly head again!? I certainly wouldn't waste my money at the cinema to see that rubbish. I'm surprised so many here actually like it. Between Motec exhaust systems, floorpans falling off when hitting NOS, 20 gear changes to do a 1/4 mile and "granny shifting not double clutching like you should" I think my favourite part was when the Black Dodge ripped a skid with the front wheels in the air! : They are definitely good for a laugh that's for sure...

Fast and Furious is okay for light entertainment. Certainly a lot better than that roadbike rip-off Torque? Damn that movie sucked. Made F&F seem realistic! Holden did make an SS Commodore by the way. There were various versions, eg. Brock HDT Group A SS, and then the TWR/HSV Walkinshaw Group A SS. Now let us speak no longer of VL Commodores

What, no discussion on the Polariser?

I have watched the F&F movies out of boredom on occassion but its a shame F&F has actually become a 'how to' documentary for tools who like to show off their cars on Today Tonight!

When will some uber cool affro'd mechanic raise the Spit Bridge a little during a rice race and wreck some Sydney rice (ref opening race of F&F 2).

The least you could have done was find a pic of the "Plus Pack" VL

VL Group a SS "plus pack" (energy polariser option)

where's rogercordia when you need him
he would blow us away with his expertise on this matter

[NC1183]

There's an orange RX-8, if i remember correctly, that gets distroyed by Vin Desil

[schnoods]

Funny how for the actors, the movie that made them big is the movie role they cant escape.

I will be seeing it with a few mates, but the movies plot looks more or less the same as the first one bar the location, the cars and the cargo they are stealing.

[Fev]

ah, thanks man just goin from memory, obviously a lil wrong but the gist of its there lol..

why do you guys not like the 3rd one? the 2nd one imo was horrible.. 70% of the driving was CGI! crap cars and worse acting lol.. atleast the 3rd one was almost entirely original - hell it had an RB26DETT Mustang!! awesome

Burn him!!! :. They destroyed a perfectly good mustang. The 3rd film was by FAR the WORST episode ever... Watched it once and thats 1 time to many.

I think Gammaboy summed it up well with this Gem from 2 years ago:

I'll bet the process went like this:

Film making retard 1: "What sort of car can our american hero on the run from the law in tokyo drive?"
Film making retard 2: "I dont know, some kind of american car?"
Film making retard 1: "Hey yeah, cool idea."
Film making retard 2: "You know, that car in that Gone in 60 seconds was pretty cool"
Film making retard 1: "Awesome! but how can we make it appeal to the Dorifto crowd? You know, all those kids with their Hondas and their spikey hair and blue sunglasses and visors and stuff?" (American ricers)
Film making retard 2: "I know, we can make it like the cars they have on their posters that they masturbate over every night... what are those things? Sky... Skysomethings"
Film making retard 1: "Yeah! lets put like thos big wheels and one of those motors in the old car!"
Film making retard 2: "Cool!!"
Film making retard 1: "Mad tyte Yo!"
Film making retard 2: "Hey, do you want to come round and watch Broke Back Mountain on my Plasma tonight?"
Film making retard 1: "Sure!"

[TUF_302]

Lets not forget the most important lesson from these movies, the LAPD responds to one hooning incident with the entire force lol!

RB26DETT MUSTANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : : :

The annoying thing was that they only built one Mustang with a RB26 all the stunts (ie. drifting) was done with Mustangs with Windsor V8's.

I agree that second F&F was lame except for the Challenger and Camaro that obliterate the ricers at least until Paul Walker uses ""skill""

I hope they kill off Walker. All the other characters are fine.

Hey the Mustang was awesome, don't bag it. Replace the crappy V8 with a more modern and torqhy 2.6L engine, whats the problem? And twin turbo? Hey, win win?

[DBourne]

Fev, you're gonna get lynched for liking a mustang with a RB engine in it!!!

i honestly thought the 3rd was better than the 2nd, but the 2nd did provide a hell of a lot more funny lines that you can say with mates and shake your head and think, wow, how did they figure this was a good idea.

[Fev]

hehe i know but i still think its a cool idea, the RB is alot lighter which would provide a much more agile and balanced car

i guess your right there, but overall the 3rd was much better imo. way better acting, characters, story line and whomever the director was, he's a legend. he captured the driving perfectly on camera

i also wanna put a LS7 in a XR8 muahahhaa FRANKENFORDS!!!

[Fev]

i need that "stirring the pot" emoticon i saw on the blog with the Ba that sunk at the boat ramp :P

[Fev]

haha, all that is required is huge vinyls down the side and HKS, A'pexi and stickers of the like on your car on the front doors which does not have any parts equipped of said brands

[Trek]

I can do without doof ringing in my ears once again, I'll definitely steer clear of this. I mean, 2 was afwul, as outlined, but I forgot there was even a third movie. Damn. We don't need a fourth, IMO. I can see how these movies are ridiculous, however, I can't see the humorous side of all this :/

[Fev]

have you seen the 3rd one though? its actually quite good imo

Mate you have NFI (no offence).

Using a RB26 doesn't even make sense. The RB26 is not a good drift motor as it is too high revving and lacks low down torque due to being a race engine. All the drifters with Skylines use the RB25 as it has a better spread of torque. Go to a drift day and I guarantee you wont find any serious drifters using a RB26.

Mustang Nismo was a good novelty but is an insult to how many good V8 drift cars are out there. I think a 67 Mustang with 4.6L Modular would have been appropriate.
