The thing about the movie that really bugged me was the only car that had engine problems was the dodge
.
I hope that someone makes a movie that is more realistic.
When we have street races out here it is usually a mix between old muscle cars new muscle cars and a few brave ricers.
This movie has everybody with an import thinking they are hot sh!t now.
I had a stock looking 94' accord try to take me in my truck Sunday night my truck only runs mid 16's and yet I waxed his *** and he said its cause your truck is V8.
I had to explain to the young ricer that no its not cause my truck is a V8 it is cause you are slow really slow, I told him that he needs to get full exhaust and a NOS set-up to be able to be competitive and he told me no that is B.S. cause my buddy has an almost stock Sunfire that runs low 12's in the 1/4
I took the young guy aside and eplained to him how horsepower and weight and traction and all of that factored into speed and then guess what here comes his friend in his sunfire flying down the drag getting smoked by a Grand Am GT.
I then said MAN!!! I guess that the Grand Am must run 11's. He just looked confused and it was at that moment that I realized that you can not teach a ricer anything they already no it all.
