For everyone who hasn't seen the movie and is interested in cars. You HAVE to go see this movie. There are American muscle cars in the movie as well as rice burners. For everyone who has seen the first movie I suggest the second, it is better than the first. There's a girl with a pink Honda S2000 without her license and Ludacris hits on her, it's pretty funny. The racing scenes are awesome! You have to go see it. I rate it as an A-

Should have been called "Fast & Furiouserer".
-
lol Yeah...my friend used to call fast and the furious the fat and the furies...lol
-
An A-?
I didnt even see the movie and know its an F. Are you on crack?
-
Your missing out, w/e dude

They had all those cars on disply at Universal last week. Neato :rolleyes:

I didn't want to see it.
I saw the first one, and it was dumb. The previews made this look dumber. I was going to pass on this and let it pass into the mists of unwatched movies that I'll never see, alongside 'Heartbeeps', 'Biker Boyz', and 'Charlies Angels: Full Throttle'.
Then my friend calls. He wants me to come, I say no. He says he'll buy me a ticket, I waffle. He persists, finally I say ok, as long as I'm not giving them money for it (he's paying).
I gotta say... this is not a bad movie. It is a lot better then the first one. It's fun, it's exciting, and the cars are cool. I hate to say this, because the trailers make this sound false, but the cars act a lot more realistically in this. There are only a couple of scenes with silly stunts, the rest is pretty good.
The car mods are neat, I'm thinking of doing the 'snorting dragon' effect on my Explorer (without installing nitrous, I think that'd kill my old SUV).
Check it out, it's pretty good.

I saw bits and pieces of "Fast and The Furious" and it inspired me to think about turning my 93 Civic coupe into a project. But the Honda computer kept going brain-dead so I took that as a sign from the import gods and traded the Civic for an Xterra instead.
Speaking of movies pandering to ethnic subcultures, I was flying AH late one night and caught this blast from the past. I saw the last 20 minutes and it looked... interesting in an '80s sort of way. I don't know how I missed its theatrical release, then late-night Cinemax/HBO/Showtime cable release, then VHS release. Being filmed in Manhattan with a lot of outdoor rooftop scenes, it was interesting to see the WTC rising in the background. And the lead actress is HOT in an ethnic subculture sort of way.

edit: then again, it was 2:00am so my judgment wasn't at its sharpest. And I was only half-watching since I was up to my eyeballs in marauding Spitfire IXs. And I had the volume turned down so I could hear the radio calls. So the film probably sucked except for the nude love scenes (censored on basic cable, of course).

2 Fast 2 Bi-Curious

Geez...I got roped into seeing this movie too. Yeah, it was slightly better than the first one...at least in this one skaterboy cop dude didn't look over at his laptop to mess with the fuel mixture with one hand in the middle of a race doing 140mph and driving with the other hand. :rolleyes:
But it still was cheeeezy.
NOS warp factors! 12 speed gear boxes that can only be upshifted and never downshifted...I swear I counted one guy who upshifted 11 times.
: puke:
And the cgi was so cartoonish that it was no more difficult to suspend disbelief than it is when Wiley Coyote is resurrected after a 1000ft fall.
At least Skaterboy's sidekick in this one was pretty funny. Vin Diesel's best performance to date has to be him dying from a sniper shot in Private Ryan...the best part being that he died.
-
no thanks if i want to see rice burners i will look around while im on my way to work.... that movie looks stupid.
i think people who drive those types of cars have weebitty pee pees.
-
Ah, but that's part of why this movie was good, it wasn't just hopped up civics, there was some real american muscle car (and it wasn't just the sad 'my daddy died and left me this' it was racing for pinks).
-
And probably lost, right Chair?
God knows a Civic with a mad-phat body kit and NAAAWWWWSSSSSS will smoke a 454. :p
My lug nuts require more torque than those cars put to the ground.
-
Well, you force me to spoil a little, but the only reason the muscle car loses is because of dirty tricks. It's quite clear that the bad guys in the two muscle cars would have won otherwise.
So kindly stuff it. :D

Fortunately cars don't put torque "to the ground", they exert force on the ground. :)
Torque means diddly unless we are talking about power tools. :)

Hey how come I didnt see any volkswagens in the movie. What Golfs and GTIs are no match for ricers, not a fair shot or something? You know VWs are dam fast also if you know how to mod them.
-
Because many Americans are unfamilliar with the performances of those Audy cars.
Would be like that:
"A R what 6? What do you mean STOCK it's almost as fast as a vette? it's a freacking 5 seats car! What a BS movie!"
-
They destroyed every American Muscle Car in the movie. I was amazed at the "Dude... those are big blocks... we don't stand a chance" line.
That Evolution is supposed to be one sweet ride though... with quite a bit of room for HP improvement. 500 hp is supposed to be pretty easy to achieve with one.
Anyways... the movie was stupid... the acting was horrible... the racer chick looked like she'd been hit in the face with a shovel then given botox injections... and the cars were too pimped out unless you consider 500 lbs of stereo equipment necessary for drag racing.
Some nice steel in there... but they destroyed it all.

Anyone know a free pic hosting site. I have some pictures of the actual cars from this film.

"To the ground" = Dyno mesurement at the rear wheels.
Get with it Funked. ;)

VW are pieces of ****...supposedly in a Golf GTI there is a "chip" you can buy that adds 150 HP...that is the most BS I've ever heard in my life. Supposedly if adds more gas when you floor it...w/e man...my friend has a GTI and he thinks he is pimp of the road, but my other friend in a stock civic with just exaust and body kit smoked him, there wasn't even a chance.

Hellcat - the aftermarket possibilties for a factory FI (forced induction) engine (GTi 1.8T for example) are far greater than an NA (Normally/Naturally Aspirated) 1.8L (Civic Si for example).
An ECU upgrade (chip) will realisticly get you about 35HP to the wheels (~50 crank) just buy upping boost and fuel pressure.
Downpipe, bigger intercooler, etc. You can pump out over 300 HP at the crank if you know what youre doing before a turbo swap.
WTF are you gonna do with a Civic? Throw a fart can on it and tint the windows?
Good luck getting that thing over 200HP/NA with bolt ons.
Little Japanese economy cars are just that. Little Japanese economy cars.
If you like autos from the land of the rising sun and need to go fast - get yourself a Supra, STi, EVO or an Rx7 - dont waste money on kids toys.

and its a pants movie no plot stupid stunts

The only thing that's going to come out of this movie is more Hondas with 6 ft. spoilers on their trunks. If it's going to look fast, then please make it somewhat fast. I came up next to a ricer kid in his Honda the other day and I asked him if his car was fast. He said no, it just looked fast. His honesty is what most "riced out" cars are. Why spend a bunch of $$$ on spoilers, body kits and fart cans when your car isn't going to go any faster.
:rolleyes:
