2 Fast 2 Furious
Did you guys catch this month's Motor Trend magazine? They did an arcticle on a coupe of the cars from the movie. They arn't even that fast, they were all 5.4 to 6 seconds to 60 and 13-14 seconds in the quarter mile. That's pretty weak for how much they put in those engines ($$$). My friend has an 88 Mustang GT with a Ford Racing N/A 302 motor and he does low 13s and it only cost him 4-5 grand.

alot of stereo types in this thread....
*some imports are fast, alot arent. I see alot of comparisons of mustangs and Fbodies to imports that are family cars.
*I think there are alot of really stupid imports with more stickers and dumb body kits out there... kids are also doing it do american makes too...
*yes mustangs and f-bodies do well in the 1/4th... I think the Lancer and WRX would probably smoke them in rally style racing (but I cant say for sure)
*at least ricers make me laugh... I find great ammusement in looking at who drives them when i pass/get passed by them... white boys in over sized clothes with back wards visors... girls.... asians... ect...

Well, I think that all of these ricers are funny. Just the other day some ricer pulls up to me and feels the need to rev his engine...needless to say it sounded like a lawn mower…but I let him have his fun and later that day…I see him again and he starts to rev that lil thing again…this time I put the truck into neutral…revved her to about 4000RPM…the look on this duds face was priceless…and it shut the ricer up too. Just my fun for the day

I've beaten a few in my Explorer (not that I race, really) but I'm sure there are some out there that can beat me. I attribute that to weight, however. My 4500+lb Explorer vs. a 3500(?) Civic with a turbo/nos/supercharger isn't going to win.
For example, a 2003 Civic si weights 2744lbs with a 160hp engine. Put a turbo in that and/or NOS, and you're well over 200hp. My X, stock, has 215hp, but I estimate it has somewhere around 230 with my mods. There really is no comparison.

Hi all,
I know, that you've dicuced the theme a few week ago, but unfortunetely I saw that movie just yesterday evening and I want to let you know that I totally don't like what happend to the Mustang, to the Hemi Callenger and to the Camaro!
how fortunate that it's only a movie....
The best scene in the whole film is were the Callenger and the ricer are going to drive the race. The Face from the ricer driver when the hemi turn to the redline just before they starts....great!

Illegal street racing in cars that can't take a hit. That's great for kids about to get their driving license. I just love it when one of those unfortunates that have to drive an un-American import, be it Asian or European, pull up next to me on the highway in the little car that mommy and daddy bought them. They don't stay next to the Lincoln LS for too long, except for the BMW M series. But I'm working on that!
