Yeah, ok… The classic Mustang in this POS movie is powered by a turbo charge 4 cylinder import motor! A good way to ruin a classic American Icon.

POS movie? I’m really excited by this movie. It has nothing to do with the previous movies and its showing a great deal of cool action and stylish cars. I’m excited, but I’m in my twenties.

Ford made “classic” 80’s Mustangs with turbo 4 cylinder engines.

technically a car isnt a classic until its 25, 30 years old… even then them 80s stangs wont be classic…
2 fast 2 furious actually made LESS than the original? hows it sequel-worthy?

at least it isnt a real stang it would be a shame to ruin a car like that

I want to see the out takes. How many cars got mangled. The movie, I’ll see it knowing it will be short on story and substance. But I don’t care. Maybe I’ll listen to the Ipod and wake up for the driving scenes.

It’s just like Gran Turismo 4 – another opportunity for product placement for Japanese manufactuers.

GT4 was supposed to be tabout the history of the automobile, yet the idiots put 32 Skylines in the game, let alone tons of Asian cars that came nowhere CLOSE to making history. No BMW M1, no Dodge Superbee, no Chevrolet Bel Air……instead we got the Mazda Carol and the Scion xB. I see this movie as nothing more than Japan shining the spotlight on itself in an attempt to lure brainless mid-20s males into buying RX7s and Silvias.

#5, it is a real Stang they used 15 for this movie, but all of the action cars had V8s in the. Only the “hero” car has the Skyline engine in it.

They need a new angle at this point, and since the actual plot does not matter, it should be the Tokyo porn, drive sideways all over town in a race to knock the bottom out of that those asian chicks in the Cathloc school girls uniforms. They could enlighten the pacific rim to the Hummer. That would be a real Zen moment.

I’m in my twenties, a car fanatic and quite disinterested in this POS movie… maybe its because I’d rather drive a stylish GTO, ‘Stang or Charger than a tricked out Civic or some other “stylish” four-banger japanese rice rocket. If I wanted to drift I’d buy an M3 like the one we saw on this site over memorial day weekend (or the RS4 that bested it overall). Now that’s style and substance!

#9 I like your idea for the movie.

at least the acting looks good…

this is geared toward boys age 12 to 17…dont get so worked up over a kiddie flick.

Truely horrible .. a movie about the most horrible sound of all .. tire squeel

Only thing worse than this movie is the constant annoying use of “after the jump” on this blog. Give it a rest already!

Sadly yet another example of Hollywood taking something “real” and whoring it out. REAL street racing didn’t include crap like vinyl graphics and massive wings except for those tools who were all show and no go. Rarely did you find someone who blew 10 grand on bodykits and graphics rather than “go” bits. It’s movies like F & F and 2F 2F that turned this culture into the cop-baiting, rice-inducing ****hole it is now. Even the old-school racers from the 60’s/70’s have turned on the scene because of the retards these crap movies inspire.
Damn you Hollywood, damn you to hell!!!!!!

#4 While I am not a fan of the F & F franchise, they did make well over $100 million each in the U.S. alone.

Ek reken dit gaan ‘n poes fliek wees, moes dit gestop het by nommer een. Boeta sal Vin Diesel ‘n blaas gee. Hoera.

Damn ricers.

Frooooooooooot Wap !!!

Nee wat…Ek sal nie meer Vin se balle in my mond skommel nie…The Pacifier het seker gemaak daarvan…Armin van Buuren sal ge rim word deur my….Sal jy vir Armin rim Gussie?

This is gonna get a lot of young people killed…

#4 2f2f grossed 123.8 million thats a lot of money even its not as much as the first -the franchise has the legs to gross another 100 easy – putting the production together is simply introducing a different kind of sport having fun and just like any other business to make money – just because you wont remember it 5 years from now doesnt mean that these guys pockets wont still be getting fat because as much as everybody wants to hate on the technical aspects of the movie (myself included) you absolutely cannot knock the profit making margins that are available during the summers and all the people who wont mind spending 10 bucks to see hot women cool cars and bad story lines – to anybody who can argue a companies decision to do anything get off your horse and do it better otherwise your opinions stay right here and are forgotten by tomorrows post. i will prolly wait for the dvd but then wait the dvd money brings in more than theater releases so am i part of the problem or do i just like the pretty cars DOH!!!!! damn # 17 beat me to the punch on revenue now i look like a biter

look pretty cool… BUT the Mustang must have a V8 engine……!!!!

The movie needs a RWD 450+bhp 2 litre YB Sapphire Cosworth!!!

How sweet would this drift machine look sliding round in a race:

mmm – nice – although this particular one is closer to the standard 200bhp :p

Hopefully this time around the kids who try to emulate the antics of this movie will keep it on the track and not the streets.

Probably won’t happen though

WOW… another SEMA marketing exercise. First you had “The Sad and the Ridiculous”, then “2 Sad 2 Ridiculous” and now “Sad and the Ridiculous, Totally Wiffed.” Come on, the only reason to make these stupid movies is to convince the younger generation that these “econo boxes” that everyone used to laugh at are worthy of building up into an extremely dangerous street rod. Movies have become great marketing exercises…and every one of these young kids that watch it actually believe what they see in these movies. I have kids in Civics, Neons and Subarus wanting to race me in my Porsche at every stoplight. My friends with Ferraris and Lamborghinis have the same issue as well. When will these kids learn that what you see in a movie is just that…a movie stunt, not reality.

What’s next??? “The Sad and Ridiculous takes on the Autobahn?”

Yeah, keep talking. Can any of you drift like this? No. Drifting like this is some of the most intense driving that can be done. I’d love to see any of you try. I know kids in high school that drift, and damn can they drift well. They have cars that CAN beat Porsches. ****, you could tune a Volvo to beat a Porsche (in a straight line of course) if you wanted to.

looks sick

Drifting is indeed a good test of the driver’s abilities in regards to car control. It’s not easy and when done properly, it can be entertaining to watch. For about 5 minutes. After that it gets repetitive. A pet peeve is when drifters think that it’s racing. Bzzzt, wrong. Drifting is definitely not racing, just like figure skating is not racing – it’s a display of ability judged, not by a stopwatch like real racing, but by judges – hence, drifting is not racing.

They need to stop calling drifting a form of racing, its insulting.

#34: I concur. This whole drifting bull**** needs to go away, fast.

Drifting is a motorsport, but not racing. Just like ice skating, you can actually race around the rink, or you can figure skate. Drifting is the figure skating of motorsports. Thats not to insult drifters. If they are having fun and do it safely (not on public streets) then more power to them. To think that the drifing scene is any more or less legitimate than NASCAR or F1 is a close minded eliteist attitude.

Do you really think that people in the import tuning, street racing, and drifiting scenes enjoy the image of their hobby that these films create?

Pete, sooner or later your going to pull up to the light with a tuned out import that’s going to woop your Porsche’s ass. You sound like an old snob who’s angry that the poor underclass kids are having some fun.

Who would actually want to watch this four banger rice-fest?

uh, mitch buddy. a four banger ricer (evo) can keep on with a 12 banger exotic (mercielago) on the track. I think you need to shut up with that.

That four banger Mustang actually has a six banger RB26DETT motor inside. Have to agree with the Evo keeping up with the Murcielago on the track though.

Ford’s Focus RS with the RS8 conversion (RWD and 5 litre cammer crate at 450bhp) actually beats a Gallardo round a track

When is this coming out?

I’m going to go out of my way making sure that I am not on the roads during opening night.

Nevermind, I just read the article again at the top.

Lock your garage doors and hide your teenage children from this one.

learn ur **** man, mustang made 4 cylinders

yea but the motor in the mustang isnt actually a 4 cylinder, its a 2.6L 6 cylinder, rb26DETT, but with a single turbo conversion. yea they put a jap motor in a muscle car, who cares! its still mean drifting!
drift hard! D1NZ!

i saw the moivie and id like to buy it

i must say i don’t know much about cars yet but i like fast ones no lie and i watched the movie last night and it was good. i’m gonna watch it again.
