Mark your calenders April 29th 2011 the "last" fast and furious movies hits theaters. I for one can't wait. ;D
-
Ummm, yeah....real excited. You're joking, right?
-
Hadnt heard about a new one. I like the Fast and Furious movies personally. Not interested in owning a tuner car, but hey, its stil racing.
-
I still like how they say "I live my life a quarter mile at a time", and the race lasts 5 minutes, thats the longest quarter mile I have ever seen....
-
Sorry, I didn't mean to knock the movies if you guys like 'em. I felt like they were aimed toward teenagers and didn't realize there were adults that liked 'em. Not my thing but at least they're about fast cars (even if they are not very manly cars for the most part).
-
So wheelstanding 70 Chevelle 71 Camaro and a 69 Charger aren't manly? I think you might want to rethink that one, and that green Chevy truck was just cool. I will be there opening night, you should see the parking lot at the theater, cool rides everywhere ;D
-
Yes they are, but they weren't the focus of the movie (I've only seen the first one). Again, sorry and hope you enjoy it!
-
I will never forgive them for what they did.

I was interested when the first movie came out and saw it on dvd. I ended up shutting it off when I couldn't take it anymore. Vin Diesel trying to be a tough guy, Something about "Oh man I blew the rivets out of my manifolds again" just made the cheese start to ooze out of my TV. I recently caught one of the sequals (not sure how many there are) on TV and watched most of it. I still wasn't impressed but I thought it was better than the first one. A couple cool cars can't make a movie good imo but I suppose if they had someone who knew anything about cars help write the script it would have been more tolerable. That and if they had one of our trucks pulverize a skyline I would have been all eyes.
-
Got to love Vin Diesel. Fast and Furious Franchise is alright but.... it's been hung upside down by its toe nails, smacked in the face, and beaten up with a mace :P. Kinda getting old. Won't lie though. It should be good.
-

Ditto.....
-
That poor freightliner... Yeah and the charger too. lol
-
I liked these movies..kinda lol. But check these out.....

maybe the c10 could if you say they both have to haul a load of stones lol

I don't think they're "sissy" cars, my friend drives a Subaru and I love it. He used to have an s10 that he was building a 350 for but he got this car. I think they're great, nothing "sissy" about them. Lots of cool technology and this thing is just nuts. 449hp to the wheels, and AWD.
Here's a pic with my R10

My friend has a blue 06 WRX STI. Its a lot of fun on the dirt roads around here. The stock exhaust with the turbo sounds good too....
-
I agree, the STi is a blast to drive! The one in the picture I posted is modified like crazy though, 4in exhaust all the way back!

Apparently you never rode in my 67c10. It was a swb with a 454 and a 871. Street legal but barely. Could never get it to hook up in the rain. By the time I sold it it was drag only but it was still street legal. In a straight line the skyline had no chance.
-
I think anything that makes over 400hp and gets 25+ mpg is cool by default.
-
Two lane blacktop, vanishing point, the hitcher(for the killers truck) and worlds fastest indian are some of my favorite, not so much fast and furious...though the opening scene in the latest was pretty crazy.
-
I give the imports props, they are impressive in the seat of the pants catergory.I just cant stand the way they sound. That and the fact that at 6'2" and about 300lbs I also dont like putting them on to go for a drive.

We have a skyline and my truck would take it.
-
Straight lines aren't impressive, a chimp can mash the gas. I'll bet that skyline would run circles around your truck on a road course.
-
Ya think? ::)
-
Why don't you take em both to a circuit and post us some lap times, although I wouldn't advise and extended race, that truck drinks way more than that skyline.

Ive heard this comment before...... he hadnt ever driven anything with any power either.Ive driven a 10 second car and it takes a bit more than standing on the skinny pedal and going straight. !/4 mile racing is on consistency, not just go. I have seen these trucks built for road racing, you can modify anything. The original Fast and Furious was 1/4 mile racing and there are many of our trucks in the drag racing scene. Comparing it to a Skyline for road racing doesnt make sense. Put the Skyline up against an Indy Car or Nascar and see whats up. Thro the Skyline up against a truck in a pulling competition and see how that goes. I dont think Vile was refering to a road race comparison between the Skyline and his truck.
-
Sorry about that. Recanting prior statements. Its too difficult to argue though text.
-
It would be awesome if they brought back the Grand National.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Grand National (drool)
-
Although the Skyline is supposed to be a great handling car believe it or not I can't stand driving it. Maybe because it's right hand drive and that is just so unnatural feeling to me but it rides like a box spring mattress.
-
Just a reminder, The 5th F&F comes out this friday. I already have my tickets, I would advise those of you that want to see it to not procrastinate, it will probably sell out soon.
-
Ill save my money for Netflix and go to the theater May 26....Hangover 2!!

I could make it happen. Its more about not having the fear the other guty has to potentially blow yer wheels up, turbos help too!
-
yea..ill proably watch it since ive seen the others . the thing that kills me is they shift gears like 8 times in the 1/4 mile. lol thats a heck of a setup . haha
