Post WHAT A JOKE!!!! (Really buggin me)

Today is the opening of "the fast and the furious" There wass a sneak preview last night and they invited all of these ricers to come and see it for free. The only catch was they had to display there cars at the opening tonight.

There are a bunch of civics, neons accords and even an ESCORT!! WTF Why would you open the fast and the furious with a display of the (slow and pathetic) I have seen all of these guys run and a low 16 is the best most of them got

WHY!!!! There are a buttload of truely fast cars around here. GRAND NATIONALS, SUPRAS, STANGS,CAMAROS,Z06 VETTES,Vipers there are even some truely fast imports so why in the hell did they get this pathetic car club to open the movie. Damn it to hell this is killing me

Your right man, I dont even understand how you can make a street racing movie without a fox body stang in it. I watched the preview of the movie that they showed on B.E.T. and they were saying that the cars in the movie go around 180mph I dont know about that.

They are going to exit the movie theater thinking they are hot stuff and are going to get anahilated....moah ha ha haaa victory is mine. I even lifted my hood so I could get the hood clearence I need for the nitrous plate what do you guys think 125 shot???

I won't go see it because they wreck a perfectly good Dodge Charger. I've been looking for a straight fender for my 1968 Dodge Charger R/T for years. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!
I just heard a story on the Orange County (Calif) News Channel where they said the police are worried that people watching the movie are going to imitate it. Then the reporter says he's going to talk to some street racers and (like above) it's a bunch of skippy lookin dudes with their ricers. I had to laugh. I guess they'll laugh at ol' Pony now ;-)

Saw it! Laughed thru the whole dam thing! The best part is when Vin Deisel is supposed to be the fastest racer around and he shows the other guy the charger. He tells the guy that he and his dad built it, but he never drives it because......HE IS SCARED OF IT! HE CAN'T HANDLE THE POWER!! HAHAHAHAHA! Seems like the writers knew all along where the real power is. Light Em Up!!

That is funny as hell. A ricer would be scared of some real power. I won't get to see the movie for a while though. We don't get movies until they are a few months old over here.
LMAO @ 16 second cars i wouldn't even bother bringing my car to that. I would bring my f 150 then it would be some good races. I could probaby win some too.

fostang i doubt you'll even need a 25hp shot to beat up on the rice cars in fact you could probably minus 125hp from your combo and still spank them
"THE SLOW AND PATHETIC" lol. that's what the title of the movie was originally i would bet!

Its really funny that all the ricers were running TWO power adders, and the charger with just a blower kept up with em. Also, the ricers needed 80k to get into the tens, you could make 4 fox bodies do that with 80k, INCLUDING the cost of the car. If you were to go with new mustangs, (21k each) you could make at least 2 do 10s on nitrous. WHAT FOOLS!

I drove by the theater right when everyone was leaving and a few ricer had their hoods open and reving the lawnmower. I figured maybe they'd like to see a spray of nitrous into the atmosphere so I purged in front of some rice racing team and they just about pissed in their pants. Did it two more times at different areas at the request of some asian chicks but no one wanted to race. The night slowed down and no one took the bait. So I decided to call it a night.

I saw it last night, too. Let out a big cheer for the F150 Lightning! lol about the double power adders on all the ricers! only a couple of lowered contours at the local theater..nothing worth even wasting the gas on.

I saw it too and my wife after the movie tells me "If imports are so fast, why don't you trade your mustang". I started laughing and told here the real story and how import cars of the nature of the movie would not be that fast. She said that is wierd. She is of the opinion that a car is what gets you from point A to point B.

Anyway, I was really laughing when he was tring to get his first car to do over 140mph. And he had to get a 2 stage nitros system to do it. When it shows him racing he hits the NO2 at 140. If that were real I would think the whole engine would have exploded. The other thing that was a laugh is that they said they live their lives 9 or 10 seconds at a time. It was awesome when the Charger took off and did a wheelie for about the first 60 feet. I could see why though being as it had, I think he said, 900hp. The whole movie was an exageration though. Specialy the Race Wars were there was nothing but imports. In California there would have been a lot of domestics too.
