Oh, and to all you kids worrying about the Skyline motor -- all the "crashed" Mustangs were equipped with a regular-old V6.
The lone RB-powered car managed to walk away from the film unscathed.
i say **** this! let's boycott all of these movies, we must save out classics! what next a model t with a sylvia motor in it?! our childrens children will never know what classics are after hollywood and F&F are done with them.

RE: Fast and furious tokyo drift
the crashed ones were actually well built 351s. I think its kinda cool to see something different in a classic mustang. For example a couple months back in I think MM&FF there was a 63 falcon with an original straight 6 that ran 13.20s with the help of a small turbo. Buuuut, having said that I hope this idea of import motors in classic sheetmetal doesnt catch on. It was cool once, and lets leave it at that. Oh, and for more info on the movie cars, check out this months issue of HOT ROD.

I hate the idea of putting a Skyline engine in a classic Mustang too. But, I will say this......When I was working in Japan, my son was in high school, and I bought him a Nisssan Skyline. It had been beefed up, but the engine was the straight 6. I have been driving hot rods since I was just a kid, and I am telling you, that was the fastest car I have ever driven, to include my 03 Mach 1.

Oh, great. Now we get to hear classic American muscle wind up like sewing machine with Yuban-can exhaust. Puhleaze!
Japan still can't compete with the big boys. Their miserable attempt to break into Top Fuel Funny cars illustrates this. So, instead people try to justify this by going after 40-50 year-old technology with the modern rice-age. That mentality is about as intelligent as comparing a Ford focus to a '68 Corolla. What's the point?
These Too Fast, Too Stupid films serve no purpose.
