Re: Fast and the furious 3??? God help us!!!!

Yeah I saw it. I'm not really that crazy about it. I think it looks like an Saturn Ion screwed a Scion Tc and that was its offspring.

The F&F movies had horrible acting, but you gotta love the old VW jetta in the original.

This is the only engine shot of the Spyder engine in the movie and I can't tell if there is a turbo, but I sure don't see the stock intake, and it sure don't look like my engine.

I know that the F&F series has some corny scenes and special effects (especially 2F2F, the first one wasnt so bad) and stupid stuff done to nice cars, but they are the first car movies to come out in a long time and I like watching them.

It's got a drees up kit and that is it. Look at the front part of the engine. there are no pipes or anything there. If there was a turbo there would not be that much shape towards the front

OMG! They should have at least installed a stage 1 Ripp and used a mic on a real BOV. I'll bet they spent 10 times or more over a Ripp SC for the sound effects dubs.

those are actually turbo BOV sounds. the RIPP bov isnt that loud.

why throw $5000 into a car when you can spend $50 and make it sound like you dropped $5000 into the car?

Speaking 2F2F did anyone else notice that the exhaust had fallen off the Camaro in the seen where they are looking under it. The thing that makes it great is that Paul Walker holding on to it says “it’s clean” and then it moves side to side when he lets go of it.

F&F movies are cheesy, but lets face it, it’s the closest thing to a car film were going to get out of Hollywood.

Well...Gone In 60 Seconds wasn’t as much a car film as the F&F movies are, also that part at the end where he jumps all of those car on the bridge was pretty cheesy, but it was a pretty good movie.

Cheesy doesn’t always mean bad. I know that the Dukes of Hazzard is going to be cheesy but as long as they don’t any of that CG crap like they did in 2F2F it should be a good movie.

Dude I can tell by the previews that they are going to ruin the Duke of Hazzards. For one you can tell that they have already made Bo and Luke look like complete idiots.
