[EDIT] I kinda didnt read the whole thread before I posted this, obviously that Viper will beat it
Have Clark show you the pic of this super sweet vette’. 0-60 in 1.25 sec, 0-100 in 4.something sec. Id like to see a ferrari or rice rocket beat that. Heck, Id like to see just about anything beat that(cars of course, I know some of you clever people will try to tell me a missile or a bullet can beat it :p) and for 160k? cant beat it in price either
All i can say is that “2 Fast 2 Furious” was HORRIBLE!!! I mean I work at a movie theater so i know from movies, and that movie made Blair Witch 2 look like a fine piece of cinematic art, and that isn’t an easy task!!! I mean the first one was ok but this one is a huge steaming pile of bull plop!!! I pity anyone who wasted two hours of their lives to see that poor excuse of a movie.
I liked the first one, it was pretty much fluff, but it was still fun to watch.
The second was pretty crappy. It was all fluff, but even less attention was paid to making it almost maybe believable. If your going to make a movie about street racers, how about including some more street racing instead of those obnoxious highway scenes?
Now I thought that the second one was much better than the first one. I like the idea that things happened that weren’t expected. Like the ejection seat thing and the scene where the trucks came out of the garage smashing the cop cars followed by hundreds of street racing cars.
I was also confused about the definition of a ten second car.
For racing/entertainment value Fast And the Furious, and 2 Fast 2 Furious were good movies. The race scenes were tight and the cars were really nice. My main problem with the movie is that it shows street racing in a positive positive light. Until you have seen someone literally cut in half by an illegal street race and have them die on you, you don’t realize how messed up and dangerous street racing really is. Therefore, I enjoyed the movie, not the message behind it.
Robot180: A 10 second car is one that can do the quarter mile in 10 seconds.
That’s what I thought. My brother said that it means that the car can accelerate to its max speed in under ten seconds. I didn’t think that was true. It doesn’t make sense.
I just showed my brother this thread and he doesn’t believe all of you. He says that they say that in the movie, but a ten second car really means that a car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in ten seconds. Can someone research that and let me know which of us is right?

OM*G!! I drag all the time. Is there something w/ your bro?
I gave up my prom night so I can drag strip (I’m proud of that) and if they say that “You have a 10 second” car - you can go 1/4 of a mile in 10 seconds in your vehicle.
I’ll get you your research… Hang on…
(If a car can go from 0-150+ in 10 seconds w/o breaking the tires - please show me…)
Edit:
Show your brother (or who ever) this page.
Let him tell you with a straight face that those speeds are the fastest those cars can do.
Dude, I can get a golf cart from 0-60 in 10 seconds (Well not really, but you get the point) if you did 0-60 in ten seconds, your car sucks to put it bluntly.

Your car sucks for speed. I know a few cars and SUVs that can’t accelerate that fast…
My Grand Cherokee takes like 9 seconds to get from 0-60. (That isn’t 1/2 bad. I have only the 4.0 Inline-6 engine in a body style that weights more than 5300 lbs! :ahh: )
I used that same example, the golf cart. He says that they can’t test it though because what if the driver doesn’t drive at full speed. I will show him that page.
I believe that “2 Fast 2 Furious” wasn’t good as the first movie. The movie had no plot…but even though i believe that i wasn’t good, I liked going to see the cars.
Hey guys…
I’m not here to make an arugement, nor am I saying which I like better, I like both muscle & street racing cars. I personally liked 2 Fast 2 Furious better than the first movie. The movie was more entertaining to me, and I liked its plot. I also liked Brian’s cars (and the other cars) in this one, expecially the silver & blue Nissan Skyline he was driving at the beginning. The trucks were an excellent addition, I was surprized they actually made a new Dodge Ram look good. The Evolution and the Spyder looked like they drove nice, yet, their paint jobs weren’t the greatest of works (really…Brian in a yellow car?) I also think there may be a slight possibility of a sequel, if there is one I would like to see him go back to meet up with Dominic and set things right, I mean, now that he can actually race good and isn’t a cop Dom would love him. And for my final rant…they still haven’t put my favorite vehicle dressed up in their movie- a Jeep! It wouldn’t be that hard, give it about a five inch lift, some 38’s, and Flowmasters it’d be awesome…
If they made another sequel, I don’t think that Dominic would be in it. Lots of people say that Ben Diesel (what ever his name is) is not a very good actor. I think that is why he wasn’t in 2 fast 2 furious. They just said that he didn’t want to be in it because they didn’t want to make him look bad.

Hahahaha! A fellow Jeep Freak!!
Go all out and get a long-arm kit. That would of been awesome to see a Jeep coming out of the garage w/ some 38’s (or some 40’s) or the like!!!
