how does a old crappy muscle car outhandle a perennially over-steering skyline on the highway?

I guess muscle cars are only capable of running the parts that were available in the 1950's and 1960's when they were originally built, right?

There haven't been any updated parts made for any cars from that time frame?

Muscle cars are only capable of driving in straight lines, and RWD imports are only capable of drifting, right?


Pssst, your ignorance is showing.

well didnt really care to see the movie cause it looked gay to me from the previews and when i finally seen it guess what it was gay. I think they went in the wrong direction...tokyo drift was better

ranger240

haha yeah, yeah you can get i.r.s. suspension kits for mustangs, wilwood b.b.k.s, ls carb intake manifolds, etc...

but it just conveys a huge misconception about muscle cars baseline capability to the general movie-going public.

i dont mind it, all it'll do is bump up muscle car values (needed after the price bubble popped in the past year). maybe my buddies mustard yellow 318 auto coronet will be viewed not as an old grandma junker but as a fearsome sleeper capable of dominating cars 30 years younger


i wouldnt say its my ignorance (a weekend up at limerock will convince anyone that with big bucks you can make mustangs keep up with better stuff), but its merely acknowledging that the movie can severely skew the general public's conception of those cars

I understand what you're trying to say there, but I would'nt say that this movie is, overrating, a muscle car's capabilities. Maybe more like, showing the general public that muscle cars can be built to handle more than a straight line. And, I dont think, "ls carb intake manifolds", as you said, have anything to do with how well a car can handle turns, but whatever.
Anyways, I found a few things wrong in this movie, but I think that all movies have flaws that most dont catch, as I'm sure a lot of people had no problems with this movie.

Tantwoforty

yea ill go see it... i don't give 2 shits about the movie, i think of it more like a car show on a big screen with cheesy acting lol
but im sure as hell driving the girlfriend car there.
when i saw Tokyo drift there were fan boys near my car asking me if i drift >.>
95 camry all the way baby

s13skank

Idk if anyone mentioned it already but when they find out what car that Parker guy drives they say its a 240 with some illegal mod's. Which in reality it was a fckn s15! That upset me

oh yea, haha, the chick was all like, "a 98' nissan 240 with an illegal mod". maybe he registered an s15 as a 98' 240sx??? Idk, but that was funny.

i dont know if anyone has mentioned this already, but what about at the end, when the dude pops a mean wheelie in the camaro, and slams into the other fool, and his car. right after that, the front of the camaro was perfectly straight. soo lame.

ESmorz

That upsets you? You need some church.

udon!

the only thing ive noticed about these movies is that alot of hot girls like them. thats ok with me, and my penis.

Sleepy240

Its funny you mention the thing about muscle cars. These damn movies do the same thing for imports just you don't care about it. After F&TF3 every kid thought they could go buy some import and drift around the parking garages and in the streets. The movie conveys a HUGE misconception about IMPORT cars to the general public. The only ignorance was not acknowledging both sides of the spectrum.

Thanks bud ;p.

Honestly, movies are pure entertainment. I hate the fanboy culture that goes a long with it as well but, all it's really doing is promoting new companies and businesses to thrive.

The comments in this thread however, are funny as fuck. I will admit it ;p

Edit: The "truths" in this thread as well. ^^

Future240

Agreed if a person watched it expecting them to stick to true car things, physics, he or she would be a dumbass. We all know the movies are cheesy and the effects laughable, but we are still going to watch them.
