Default just read the 2F2F article in SCC

and yeah, its embarrassing. sports compact car took the liberty of putting down pretty much every car in the movie, and for good reason.









these cars are slow. The fastest car WAS the S2000, and even the EVO (which was sock-performace wise) was actually slower than a normal stock EVO. I know many of you were disappointed to see SCC "sell-out," but I wanted to let you guys know, they definetly didn't.

Right, infact, they did the opposite. They made it very clear that it's movie magic that does those cars justice. They brought the reality to it all. Actually, the fastest car was the 69 Yenko Camaro, but the fastest import was the S2000. I don't think SCC did an inservice to the import community, I actually think they did thier job, kept it real and showed the world that those cars aren't all their cracked up to be perfomance wise. I wonder how many ricers are gonna go out and rig up thier exhaust to shoot flames out of it now

I read that article myself and totally agree from what I've heard about the mods done to the cars. But really, from a budget standpoint, I don't think they wanted to seriously mod out a bunch of cars that wouldn't really benefit from the mods, since they weren't really going to be driving around using the mods anyway, it was all about the movie trickery. And what the hell do they do with all of those cars after the movie is done???
