The body kit / wing on the S2000 doesn't look that bad actually. No comments on the paint job

Eclipses are beautiful cars. But man, they really screwed that one up. It looks like crap.

That sounds about right for a stock Eclipse V6. Those things aren't particularly fast, or good looking.
Especially after that checkerbox paint job all over the body.

Yeah, but the fact that it's supposed to be a "fast car omg Fast & Furious super racer dragster" just makes it funny that a fifteen-year-old, $4000 stock car can 0wn it. If I had another couple thousand to sink into upgrading it, I'm sure the RX-7t could hold its own with the upper level crapmobiles in the Riced and the Ridiculous. :p

They were all probably "rice mods" to the Eclipse... paint job, entertainment sytem, etc... no engine work at all.
The Spyder isn't meant to be a fast track/drag car anyway.

A modded RX-7 could probably hang with the Evo and S2000, but not with the almighty Skyline :p

Not if I add NAAAAWWWWWWZZZZZZ!!!!!!!! </ricer>

:D

Perhaps it's just me, but the S2000 looks Turbo charged....not Supercharged. Is that not a big ass turbo right there in the front of that beast?

In "Fast and the Furious" they had all these studly guys (with hot looking women all over them) driving rice rockets. In the real world, the only people I've seen in these kind of vehicles are greasy Asian kids with no friends. Nobody else would be caught dead in them.

With the exception of one very cute Asian girl I saw in a fully riced out civic once (actually a few times, so I do know it was hers and it was bright pink), you're totally right.

Wait till the movie comes out, they will have NOS and run 9's :D
That S2000 is hideous, such a beautiful car before the evil rice monsters got ahold of it.

*Edit* Trailer is on there also

Buddha a 13.1 second Honda! That is one very serious high performance car. Personally I do not have trouble with people having fun with their cars.

Remeber, camera tricks and editing can make a car look fast, so why would they spend money to make the cars fast, when all the need to do is make the cars "Bling Bling"

And don't forget a laptop computer, that I'll be able to look at for ten seconds in the middle of a dragrace, and take a hand off the wheel. :D

hahahaha. On the last TF&TF website, they listed the actual 1/4 times of the cars. The Charger actually ran 9's, the Supra 12's, the Eclipse mid 14's, lmao

oh man, that s2000 is so ugly. i think they over did it.

it would have looked nice with the spoiler only, but the paintjob and pink seats (?!?!?!?) really fcked it up. actually, it might look okay in real life. the s2000s dont look flashy in photos, but when i look at it in my garage or outside, they are real flashy. but man, those velvet seats....:disgust:

The 3 bottles of 'nitrous' stacked on top of each other in the passenger seat of the Skyline is about the most retarded thing I have seen in a long time. What is this dude, a nitrous bottle delivery guy and his trunk is too full of worthless stereo crap to put the bottles in there?

I don't understand how they are obsessed with both speed and their sound systems... 6 12" subwoofers is alot of weight isn't it?

After I saw the trailer, I guess this movie will like HULK.
Too much touch with computer.

I saw some videos a car-shop had made of a Stage-3 Skyline (I think it was @ 900+hp at the wheels). One video had the Skyline sitting at a stoplight, while a Camry approached at around 40mph. The skyline was at a dead stop and the Camry was timing the light...the Camry got about 10 or 15 ft behind the Skyline when the light changed...and never reached its back bumper...the Skyline flew off the line, smoking all 4 wheels.

I wish they had brought the R34 Vspec II to the states before this R35 concept car comes...I LOVE the R34, such a unique car

They all got run over by 18 wheelers like the Saleen Mustang in the trailer, apparently :| I mean, the Evo does the 1/4 mile, in like, ya know, 2 seconds, so it didn't get squished but the Mustang did, yah?
