personally I liked the 2nd more than the 1st because it was more just a movie with some car scenes in it. The first was completely crap info about cars.
98 E0 SVT with some stuff

Yeah they dumped loads of money into those cars, and with the exception of a small minority of them, they are all horrendous looking. Your arguement for why we should have respect for those cars is just plain stupid.

The cars are nice and most likely faster in every way shape and form faster then any tour on the site...and thats if those cars in the film are stock...350 stock is faster then most tours on the site...not to mention the evo or the RX-7....ok they may not be your style...but at least give them the respect for having somthing done to them...most of the people on this site that flame other cars for having mods done to them drive stock tours or stock svt's...so where do u get of judging others peoples work...if u dont like them then dont post...as every mother once said "if you dont have anything nice to say then dont say anything at all"

so what r u saying im stupid, because of some of the reasons that I like those cars. that is your opinion that you think they are horrendous looking, and it is my opinion that i think they look good, so i am stupid because of that? i wasnt arguing that you should have respect for them, i was just stating my opinion about the cars. i was saying that you could bash them all you want, not that you could bash me.

Ok guys, facts of life time:
People have different opinions.
You like those cars? Great, say so. You don't? Great, say so. It's one of the few ammendments that we sorta still have, and you all should use it without getting your panties in a bunch when someone disagrees with you. Particularly with aesthetics; everyone likes something different, and they're allowed to say so.
And FYI, dumping a ton of money into a car means nothing. Some people still won't like it, and the fact that you could have had a college education rather than a worked car won't change their minds. The argument that "those cars are faster than ours, so you can't bash them" is moot, as well. That means we have to like everything that outperforms us in some way, meaning we'd all like the same things, meaning we'd live in a Communist society. You're not Red Commie Bastards....
....are you?
'98 Contour SVT - Please pardon our dust, under heavy construction.

AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never said, "those cars are faster than ours, so you cant bash them". i said to go ahead and bash them all you want. i was just stating some of the reasons that i happen to like them, and why i would want one.

i used to kinda like cars like that, about 10 years ago. now, not really. i prefer more subtle cars now. thing you have to remember here is this is HOLLYWOOD! all they care about is what will make the movie #1 at the box office. if they had clean looking Zs and evos that most of would love do you think it would be as popular?? hell no! the target demographic for this movie is the younger crowd, as in MIDDLE SCHOOL and high school age kids. even elementary. basically, kids. i know, i taught 6-8th grade when F&F 1 & 2 came out. the kids went apesh*t for those movies. they bought all sorts of crap that was tuner anything. Walmart tshirts, toys, folders EVERYTHING. Go take a walk through the kids clothing department at Walmart and the toy aisle. its ALLLL about these cars. kids love those crazy ass show cars that look like futuristic airplanemobiles. that's why the producers wanted the craziest cars you can find. if you go to Universal Studios "Hollywood" right now you'll see four cars (iirc) from the movie on display. nothing but kids and Japanese tourists crawling all over those things. the only one that's popular with everyone is the Charger.  i dont know whats up with the lame ass cast. i was almost expecting Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan (not that they suck but they dont belong in this type of movie). I do know why they chose Bow Wow though.....teenage girls! theyre in love with Bow Wow. they probably asked Usher who just laughed it off. That's why they used Vin Diesel and Tyrese in the others. those are two guys that are VERY popular with the ladies. adding a famous rapper like Ludacris only adds to it as well. and VD was a huge hit with the guys before he embarassed himself in that POS movie. I actually saw a test screening of F&F1 about 6 months before it came out. it was pretty good. they changed a lot of scenes and the music when the final version came out. what was funny was that i told everyone it was going to suck because it was made by Universal. which is sad because the first movie had SO much potential, even with the story they had. Its just that Universal Pictures is all about big explosions and flare and big bang Hollywood style blockbuster movies. If these movies had been made by Miramax or some other studio that has made more realistic movies, it would have been great. although incredibly retarded the first two movies were linked together. i wonder how theyre going to do that with drifting in Japan. which by the way was not even close to being as popular back when F&F came out but is huge now  what's next? F&F Rally Sydney?  I thought they would at least have supercop Brian Spillman traveling to Japan to bust a drifting gang that is selling hot drifting tires in the USA.
