Re: Fast and Furious
 

Fast and Furious movies are good if you know nothing about cars and have no experience actually racing. I just can't be entertained by a movie where cars change lead in a race 47 times while shifting 63 times and hitting the "NOSS" 5 or 6 times (remember 1 bottle is not enough, GIVE ME TWO!) and when the end of the race is near and they are running strung out, they downshift and then, and ONLY THEN, they put the gas ALL the way on the floor! Good stuff...

These movies make Days of Thunder and Stroker Ace look like documentaries. I guess I'm just too much of car guy to enjoy car movies!;)

I'll leave you with the most breathtaking quote in cinematic history:

"Granny shiftin', not double clutching like you should. You're lucky that 150 shot of NOSS didn't blow the welds on the intake." - Vin Diesel

Re: Fast and Furious
 

in a movie in order to enjoy it you have to accept the fact anything is possible.
but i agree to a degree thes movies are a little overkill but make good box office profits.

Re: Fast and Furious
 

That wasn't a Charger, that was a Plymouth Satellite named Hammer, made by Steve Strope, and it has a 500 cid Supercharged Wedge motor, it was on an episode of Rides and had an article in Hot Rod Magazine.

Re: fast and furious 3
 

At least he was right about it being a MOPAR. A kid I knew when the first movie came out swore up and down the the 70 Charger that Vin drove in the first one was a 64 Impala, because his uncle had an Impala...

SLOW AND THE CURIOUS are stupid movies. now the third might actually be OK since its drifting but havent seen it yet. kinda like the bike movie TORQUE that came out at the same time. just plain stupid crap.

OMG i just watched the trailer !!!!!!!!!!! the truck was cool but dam just more of the stupid "aint never gonna happen in real life" crap like the others lmao !!

Re: fast and furious 3
 

i didn't mind the movies so much, but the street races were never the same, after that friday it hit theatres, nothing but slow, ugly, p.o.s out pissing the cops off, that used to be cool with the 50-100 that use to go out.

Re: Fast and Furious
 

I remember pointing that out to a friend. It's almost as laughable as the charger Roasting the tires due to lack of traction and doing a wheel stand at the same time.

At least we learned from the first movie all you have to do to make your ride faster is put a bunch of stickers all over it...

I think I will go slap a nos sticker on my truck so I can get to work quicker in the morning. :devil:

Re: fast and furious 3
 

Ok. I got chill bumps! I need to find a torrent release quick :).

Re: fast and furious 3

Re: Anyone seen notice the Dualie in this trailer...?
 

SWEEET !!!!

67 big back window !!!

Heck yeah

Re: Anyone seen notice the Dualie in this trailer...?
 

I have to admit that was pretty cool ---- i hope that is just a Regal painted black though, and that they didnt roach out a real GN for the shoot

Re: Anyone seen notice the Dualie in this trailer...?
 

I liked the first one, not so much so on the second, haven't seen the third, but this one looks like it has some good characteristics to be as good as the first. awesome!!

Re: fast and furious 3
 

They were all OK, as far as movies go. As for being any kind of representative for how street racing is, they all blow chunks.

And on top of that, if I hear one more teenage wannabe say the word NOS (pronounced- "noss") I think I'll go out of my mind. It's juice, nitrous, squeeze, spray, and maybe a few others that don't come to mind right now. But NOT NOS (noss)!!!

Now that I'm done ranting...I'll watch the new movie. I just won't be in any hurry to get to it.

I'm looking forward to this one.

Re: Anyone seen notice the Dualie in this trailer...?
 

hell ya the first dually is badass

Re: Anyone seen notice the Dualie in this trailer...?
 

That second dually deserves some credit also. Tandem super singles it looks like. BAD ASS! It appears to be a mid to late 80's body style as well.
