I saw the show on cable and the pink s2000 was the best car!! All the other cars pretty much sucked. Even the evo was really slow. They wanted to see how the cars are for real and they pretty much sucked. So yeah scc is a sellout for showing how the cars really are hollywood.

That is so slow.
If they had gone with an all go no show set up they prolly could've broken tens with the same amount of money.
Vinyl graphics, huge wings, neon underbody light are sure worth the money. :ghey:

Look, before calling SCC a sellout, actually read an article other than the 2F2F reviews.

When a multinational publication empire like Primedia (who prints SCC ) gets the offer from Universal Motion Pictures, does anyone think they'd decline the offer - and lose lucrative newstand sales?

Of course not.

YES, 2F2F is the epitome of lameness.
YES, The cars are Hollywood rice..
YES, 2F2F makes life hell for import drivers.
YES, I hate that SCC chose to follow the herd too.

But please consider what SCC has done - since 1996 - for the import community before slandering them as sellouts.

Please.

And yes, just like the original, nearly every one of the cars is absolutely fawked mechanically. The S2000 in F&F used up three ACT Stage 2 clutches during filming on account of horrendously abusive driving. It makes me sick to my stomach thinking about it. :huh: And what about the R34 being converted to RWD simply for" teh drift yO!"

:sad: :huh: :angry:

Whoops. h:

I suck at teh math :doh:

1988.

Still, to hear people rush to judgement against one of the few legitimate mags on the market pisses me off.

And KingPin, :werd: ^999,999,999
