The least you could have done was find a pic of the "Plus Pack" VL

Did anyone notice in the trailer the Ford RS200 with the cibbies on the front?

That's good enough reason for me to go and have a look, and the usual crowd seeing it is worth the laugh.

Is it a F&F movie where 2 ricers race a short circut against 2 American Muscle cars at night??

I know that's not the best of descriptions, but there is a scene I have been searching for on Youtube, and can't find it.

Of course the ricers win, but I think it was cause the racer in the muscle car makes a mistake? And the ricer had NOS.

Was prob from the 2nd movie? Any takers to confirm this?

Street Racer rates 3.1/10 on IMDB, which beats Redline (3.5) in the poo stakes! I've seen both and I think 3.1 is generous. At least Redline had some nice cars...

From that trailer it really looks like they've cut down on the rice this film and gone more for muscle and classics... RS200 - yum!


And it looks like they got the Backstreet Boys to do a rendition of Thriller too!!!

I'll be going to see it I guess, the most entertainment of the night though is usually the stock lancers trying to do burnouts out of the cinema car park though

Randomn parts falling of cars, Does anyone know why the floor fell out of his Eclipse in the 1st movie?
CGI and warp drive drag races

And lests not forget the pain everyone will have to suffer from this movie; even more fooly sick VL, Lancer and Excel drivers. And yep Paul Walker does suck as an actor, a modern day Steve Macqueen, yeah right Macqueen could actually drive, act and kick your backside.
Its because nos is so hectic

I'll guess i'll see this. It could work in two ways, a serious car movie with good chases or it could be a comedy.

Its good to see that there are:
-Less Civics with spoon engines, T56 turbos and nos
-No N/A Supras built up from Overnight parts from japan, on Torrettos tab tab Harrys
-No S2000 with 100 grand spent on them

But the 383 powered 69 (with a '70 nose) Charger was good...untill it did a smokey wheel stand.

Crap crap crap crap crap. Loved the movie for the cars n a bit of T n A. Hated it cos it was too unrealistic and seems to try too hard to be the first one. Good to watch pirated on Friday evening with beers mates n munchies though.
I'm just curious which will come first, Fast and furious 27 or vin diesel shifting into 34th gear.
