I certainly don't know where you are from.. but you need to get out of hick town.

NO TALKING IN F&F Part 2
Wouldn't it be great if they did not have any talking in F&F Part 2 and just had car scenes? The acting in F&F Part 1 was soo bad, I wished I saw it at home to have a fast and forward button.....

LOL... I never said I was a honda lover you fukken moron. I said that if you ever came to the West Coast and see what the FAST AND FURIOUS is REALLY based on then you wouldn't have even said anything to begin with in your g@y post.
Anyhow, lets say you spend how much on a new 02 Z28? $25k if you are lucky? Not that I would but another dumbass would go spend $16k on a new civic and put $9k of engine mods into it and that would be an even race. Some spoiled brat that just gets his daddy to buy him some Camaro or Trans Am.
Anyhow you are a fukken moron and god excuse you and hope you live and die ignorantly.
And please I sure hope they don't throw in any domestics in the next movie, or else it'll become a typical trash race movie.
And I hope you dont respond either, since you are obviously a ******* clogging up the org with your ignorant posts.

Mr. Honda Civic driver over here takes his 16 second car and gets a flowmaster muffler... he's still got a 16 second car. The difference is 3 seconds of ET.... so now the civic driver has to put some freaking gigantic turbocharger and shot of nitrous on his ride, and he's still (at best) equal in speed to the Z28, and has lost his one advantage over the camaro (reliability) because he's going to have to rebuild his $hit within 5k miles. And to top it off his car sounds like a ****ed off weedwhacker having sex with a bumble bee.
Ya know, I'm not even going to waste my time on this gem of a comment. You sound like the typical rice boy- and I know words of wisdom go in one ear and out the other with you guys. I'm sure LA is full of badass front wheel drive 95 ft-lb or torque civics with 5 inch fart tips and gigantic rear wings for optimal non-drive-wheel downforce, whose owners have wet dreams every other night about hanging with real sports cars. I'm sure that it's just here in this million+ population "hick town" of Memphis, TN that the domestics are the ones kicking *** on the drag strip. I'm sure that it's just hear in Memphis that 19 out of 20 hondas with "type R" and "NOS" badges have just that, badges as nothing more.
Sounds to me like I disrupted your fantasies- get your panties out of that nasty little wad they're in and come join the rest of the world in this place also known as reality.

Illegal street racing only takes place on the West Coast?

I just saw the part after the credits where Vin Diesel was in Baja, Mexico. I havent watched it all the way through the credits before and hadnt seen that part. Its funny though because they make the sound effects sound like the engine is revving up and he is going extremelly fast but he is on a dirt road going like 30. Take Care
OKAY OKAY.. I will call my friend Josh Fisher who goes to the New York Academy of Film and who has worked with Rob Cohen personally on the filming of the Fast and the Furious Part 1. He basically got to direct two scenes, one of which was cut and isnt even on the DVD, but the other scene was the one at Race Wars in Arizona when they all enter and park and he directed all the camera angles..
I will post an acurate account from my conversation with him, and give all the information I can.. NYC wouldn't make much sense for the movie..

dont start this, a whole book can be filled with all the cinematic and "common-sense" errors found in the movie.
the acting did suck, but I still respect vin diesel (even after "I live my life...bla bla bla").

I've been to the west coast several times, even lived there before... and street racing there is just like it is here in Memphis, although there are more rice boys on the west coast.
Other then that- your responce to my post has absolutely no substance. Daddy buys their camaro or trans am? Huh? How do you know daddy didn't buy the civic? I think I see more "daddys" buying their kids civics than I do Z28s and Trans Ams... it just seems like a more sensible car to buy a kid. But anywho- I really don't see your point there.
Enough of the name calling and pointless arguements... let's get down to some numbers and see who the ignorant one is.
Speaking in terms of brand new cars and retail price for mods- can you name me a single import car that is a better 1/4 mile performer dollar for dollar, mod for mod than a new Z28?
A brand new Z28 starts with a sticker of 23,275. Everyone knows that chevrolets can be purchased without any hasle at or near "invoice" price, which is 21,346 (included destination fees). Right now chevy is offering 2002 cash back rebate on any new chevy- which brings our price down to $19,344.
For $19,344 plus any applicable taxes, I could leave the showroom floor with a brand new '02 Z28 6-speed that has about 340-350 flywheel horsepower and even more torque on tap, and is capable of low 13s with just a decent driver, high 12s with a great driver in 100% stock form.
So what import car are you going to start off with to compete? I won't bother to pick one and compare it because you'll probably tell me you wouldn't pick that car. So go ahead and tell me what '02 import car you would pick to take to your little west coast street races, and what mods if any you would do... and then we'll have a little side by side comparison.
If you come back at me with more baseless name calling, and nothing to back up the $hit you're talking, well you'll do nothing but prove my initial point.

But we aren't talking about reliability anyways. We're trying to compare muscle car to muscle car.
japan doesn't make a muscle car - so riceboys take their daddy's cheaply insured civic and beefen it up. You can buy one for $14k and do an engine swap with turbo and NOS and bolt ons for about $7k these days. That'll put the car into 12's, granted it won't last more than a couple runs like that, but it was never meant to.
Anyhow, if you are such a freakin camaro lover then go sell your maxima and buy one of those $21,000 camaros. They're so cheap and so fast. I don't see why you'd ever want to get a Nissan Maxima for like $30k that is totally slower. Pssht.. get real.
As for the skyline. YUM. That would be a match for a Z28.
Come to the tracks on the west coast more often. Imports always smoke the domestics around here. Its a given fact.
Anyhow i'm not replying to any more threxxx postings because they are such a waste of time. can't really argue with people that don't know any better and think they know everything. its just an argument that you'll never be able to conclude, because the other guy is such a knuckle head and won't just can his trap.
