ORIGINAL: C~RA!

I thought it was an awesome movie. I have seen it three times. The skyline engine in the mustang was wierd. I don't even think it would fit and the pipe they put on the stang was stupid and way to ricey for the stang. The drifting was awesome and it had some what of a plot. I think it was an awesome movie. The RX-7 with the wide body kit was pretty sick (Han's car)
I read somewhere that for the actual drifting, it was a v8. It was just a gimmick putting the skyline engine in, they just wanted to make a point about mixing old school cars with new ideas in racing.
That was another 350z, that han was driving. That big orange and black bodykit was a veilside. The girl drove an rx7.

in the movie it was a jap engine... but from what i know, the actual car had a 351W in it. it wouldnt make sense for them to actually try to fit the import engine into it. it requires alot more customizing then just putting in the 351. as for them doing it in the movie... its just another way for them to beat down on muscle. like every movie before it... the v8's always get trashed

No ricer/import person would go to see a movie about a V8 beating a 4 cylinder. That happens too often on the streets!

A well built small block like the 289 or 302 would beat the hell out a ricer they are both high revving engines. A 289 was what powered the original GT 40's in the 60's that was beating Ferrari's,Porches, and other european cars in 24 hr races. Just my opinion.

The Japanese are making cars now? Next thing you know, they'll be letting women vote, too.

Although putting a Skyline(RB26DETT) motor in a mustang is just bad taste, it is a awesome motor. Its the LS1 of japan. Pretty stout bottm end too. Stock bottom ends in those cars easily handle 700 hp.
