I wonder if they'll make a connection to the 1970 Chevelle he drives in the first one:confused:

Actually in the first movie Vin drove a hopped up dodge charger, there were no chevelles in the first movie muchless any other muscle car...

Wasn't he driving a Chevelle down a dirt road at the end, during the rolling of the Credits?

3 gay boy cars next to a 70 Chevelle in grey primer.....the Chevelle still looks better. :yes: I wonder how they did the fake wheelstand.......pretty corney. :sad: I bet that just about all the kids who will go and see that movie in the future won't even realize that if that Chevelle had the power to do a real wheelstand at the track, it would be flying waaaay out ahead of those girl's cars in that scene even at half throttle. :boring:

At the end of the movie, he drove off in a 70 chevelle red with black stripes.

They won't beat my Chevelle. Furthermore, they still look like girl's cars no matter how you slice it. Not to mention that with any kinda power at all (which would only be through nitrous oxide, or so much boost pressure, that they have to run race gas) those puney drivetrains won't last since they're all warmed over economy cars in their stock form, and only have a drivetrain designed for economy.

Just ask the Subaru WRX ""Imprezna" boys what happens when they manage to shoot so much nitrous oxide into their engines that they get them into the 10 second bracket..... they break the transfer cases in short order despite their feather light weight chassis...cuz the drivetrains are only designed for economy. :yes:

And let's not even get into the fact that the FWD cars like the Hondas, and Mitsubitchys are fine with traction off the line in their close to stock form, but try spraying them enough or using enough boost to get them into the low 12's or high 11's, and at that point when those cars begin to have some decent weight transfer to the rear of the vehicles, they cannot hook-up to save their life since the drive wheels are on the wrong end of the car. :rolleyes: Not to mention all of the torque steer they get for street driving. Shall I go on?

...but hey, the teenage girl's like em...and along with the purple or pink neon lights underneath them that shine on the street and make it look pretty, they like to install the lighted brake and gas pedals in them too along with the wings in the back....awe...how cute.....

You forgot to mention the AWD Eagle Talons with Turbo and boost set around 9lbs. Drilling cars at the track, you know, the ones that outweigh it by 2 to 1.

Let's remember guys, someone always has something faster.

I've raced a co-worker with a hopped-up Eagle Talon.... and I was not impressed. I beat him with my pump gas naturally aspirated small block 73 Vette. He put soooo much time and money into that car, and he still couldn't beat me. :noway: Furthermore, he still had a car that sounds like a giant beehive on wheels when he winds it up.

And his car STILL looks like a girl's car. And that's what my original "girl's car" comment had to do with. Sometimes I wonder if some of you guys only own Chevelles, because your dad gave them to you, or you got the deal of the centrury on them, and otherwise, it wouldn't matter to you if you drove a Chevelle, or an "Eagle Talon"...I guess that you guys will be the first in line to the theatre to watch the next "Fast & Furious" movie. And when you go there, perhaps you'll feel more at home driving your Chevelle there and parking it outside the movie theatre amongst the sea of girlish looking imports that will undoubtedly be there, only because there's a grey primer Chevelle in the movie.

Some of you guys just cant stop complaining. No car movies, no chevelle car movies, car movie without chevelle, car movie with chevelle but its going to be wrecked.

I love actions films and the more the merrier rice or not I watch them and enjoy them. Beats watching sex and the city movie....

Bring the action, bring the car movies. I will always watch them.

Your point is well taken Andy. Although I don't share your viewpoint, I'll give credit where it's due and commend you for being civil about it. :cool:

I guess I just look at it like if Hollywood cannot offer us anything atleast a bit more realistic and not so corny, then I just wont watch new car movies at all if it comes down to that. They gave us some much better car movies a few decades ago, so why not now? But there's always various other things I can do with my time and with my lady friends' time than go to some lame movie. If it was produced by guys who were ever really into the drag race scene, then it would be much different, but I suppose that's expecting too much from Hollywood. To each his own my friend. ;)

I can totally respect anyone's opinion for not wanting to watch any FF movie for some the rediculous stuff therein, even though I do agree with Andrew.

I can respect that many of us here at TC don't like import cars looks or sound or performance, personal opinion is simply that.

I sincerely hope that the dislike of the imports is not spoken in this way to import car owners. Not saying anyone here openly disses imports to import owners, but...
There is already a divide between these two groups which I think we need to repair. Why do I care? The Muscle Car will die if the younger gerenation doesn't pick up an interest. We are the only ones who can open that door for the next generations by being supportive of whatever they want to drive - and if we can create an appreciation of Chevelles along the way, then maybe some of these import guys will take notice.

I almost bailed on the Chevelles if not for Dad's help. "Old guys" never wanted to share information back then. "You want a real engine, dump that 350 for a (insert whatever here from a flathead to a nailhead)" I hope I am never that guy. I hope we are all car enthusiasts first in that light, and not V8 snobs. JMO, no offence intended.

I had to laugh when I read this one. Thanks for the chuckle.

Well, let me say first and foremost that I WORKED MY A$$ OFF FOR MY CHEVELLE. Yes, my dad had a few badass cars and I liked those cars, no, I LOVED THOSE CARS. A REAL 67 SS Chevelle, Impala SS ( A real one, not one with some badges on it), a couple of Torinos, Fairlane GTs and Monte Carlos (73, 74 and 87SS). I waited for the money and perfect time to buy my Chevelle and YOU BET I GOT THE DEAL OF A CENTURY. I paid $2200 for my Chevelle. New paint and fresh body work...NO CHARGE. I basically paid for the guys divorce lawyer fee to be honest. He was selling it to pay for his divorce.

Like I said, someone will always have something faster...ALWAYS! There is a guy here that has a Talon and I GUARANTEE he can beat you, his car isn't grey primer either. Next time I go to the track and if he's there, I'll put up his numbers.

I won't be going to see that movie, but I will watch it when it comes on HBO. I want to see the Musclecars in that movie, I don't care if they are catering to the younger crowd with this movie.

Sounds like you have had your a$$ handed to you before by an Import? If so, just let it go, just let it go and your blood pressure won't rise when someone is kidding around with you about a CAR.

So what if someones dad gave them their Chevelle. What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Does that make you feel better that you worked and paid for yours?

It sounds like you are jealous.
