I liked how when the charger is at the stop light all you hear is the motor, no whine from the blower ever. After the movie there were a few kids in a Steak & Shake parking lot with their hoods open. There was a pretty stock looking civic hatchback which is supposed to run 14's (yeah right), a twin turbo RX-7 and a turbo charged Talon. I asked all of them if they wanted to race, but all I got were excuses. The RX-7 had a bad clutch, the civic wasn't running right, and the kid with the talon who supposedly runs the whole racing scene around here would't give me a straight answer. First he gave me some bullshit, so I told him if he was scared it was cool, so then he said if he got another ticket he would be dropped from his insurance. His motor looked pretty stock other than a set of plug wires, so I asked if he had a bigger turbo in it or anything else done to it and he kind of trailed off as he looked away saying it had everything done to it. What is everything? I asked him if he'd been to the track, he said no, so I asked what he thought it should run, he said a 12.90- yeah right, and why a 12.90, why not a 12.88 or 13.01 or maybe in the 14's where it should be? Besides the over-exageration of almost everything, the movie was alright, it kind of sucks though cause now everyone (with the exception of a couple cool people) with a honda thinks there cars the fastest thing on the road and they know everything about cars and racing and whatnot. My sisters boyfriend thinks his stock bottom of the line civic hatchback could beat my 86 mustang with a pretty stock 93 motor in it (e303 cam, pulleys,headers) if he took out his interior. Interior or not, he's still left with the same weak motor. Kids who think there hondas are fast should go test drive a stock mustang GT or trans am, I think they would be in for a surprise.
