so your calling me a retard cause im a car nut. if you havent noticed the movie is derected to people who love cars, and like going fast. obv you dont have any care for the time and effort that goes into each of those cars. The way i look at it, is if you dont know what your talking about dont coment cause you sir just made yourself look like an idiot. hell your prob one of those guys who only knows how to put gas in em
when i whent to see it there was more american musle and big trucks in the parking lot then ricers and in the movie there were more old people 23 to 40 watchen the movie then young teens and i was at the 720 show so not late one but meh yea it is derrected to them to...
i dont think too many rednecks rice man
but saw this movie earlier today and i thought it was pretty sick. one of the better of the series. kinda crazy how its after 2 fast 2 furious and before tokyo drift. plot was ok. lots of action. original characters were dope to have back. i liked it and all but thinking back walking out of the theatre i was just realizing there is only one real race in the whole thing.
I just saw this movie, and it sucks. It's not even a good action movie, which I can appreciate. I was completely bored anytime they weren't driving, and was getting pissed off at all the fake car stuff and driving. It's not made for "car nuts" It's made for 13 year olds who don't know shit about cars.
fyi:
1.nitrous oxide is an inert gas. Meaning it won't explode. ever.
2.a honda won't keep up with a chevelle that does wheelstands in a straight line.
Why are they supposed to be racing, and then all the sudden one of them drops a gear and speeds up to avoid a crash or something?
im talking about the orange car... I realize paul walker's character was in a skyline. And they're going dead straight down the road.
FYI.
1. your right that nitrous oxide is an enert gas but when used the right way and the right settings you can get 50 to 500 hp with the right jetting. i hope this clears your mind up on this.
2. i have seen many imports that can blow buy any american muscle and that are street legal to the thing with then you barely have to spend any money to get then to go quick hell you can use the stock block moast of the time.ok
3.ok so down shifting does help you accelerate. Imagine that you want to quickly speed up but you are already in a high gear. If you downshift a gear, it will be easier to speed up when you step on the gas. Just like when riding a bicycle...it is easier to start off in a lower gear, then upshift to a higher gear so that you aren't peddling super fast and going nowhere. And once you are cruising if you want to speed up, you can shift down a bit and it is easier on your legs to speed up.
Acceleration has to do with the torque of the motor matching the proper gear. Ever try to start off in third or fourth gear? Almost impossible because the torque is not matching . But once the car gets moving, it is easy to get into third or fourth and still accelerate.
Have you ever driven an automatic and while going 30 or 40 or maybe even 70 then floor the gas? You'll notice that the transmission automatically downshifts...it's the same thing that you want to do when driving a stickshift.
and in case your wondering i am a huge muscle car fan, helped restore a couple with my dad and helped my bud build his drag car. id rather them beat anything but when you have a four banger beat a v8 u gotta give credit where its due.
I drive a manual. I completely understand how it downshifting works.
But if they're racing don't you think they should already be in the gear that gives them the most acceleration?
