dude that movie was great look what they did for the Rx-7 they showed at the begining of the race the whole interior of the engine rotary engine and guess who won easly??? Rx-7 yea the civics and putting stickers on those cars was gay but man they had some good cars (Rx-7, Supra, Skyline GTR, Charger) those where all nice and in real life fast cars so over all that movie was pretty good, good publicity for rotary's and rx-7's

won easily? Yeah, I guess, didn't the Eclipse almost pass him? and then he used Nitrus? lol, yeah, that was a lot :p

I wouldn't say it was good publicity, you didn't even hear RX-7 mentioned, they changed the sound of the RX-7 to a V-8, and there were no 2nd gens. C'mon, Integra, an Eclipse, and whatever other POS they had vs a 3rd gen? Well, this debate has already been done.. the movie was pretty dumb and now if you drive any japanese car people think you're a ricer

14.0 @ 100mph is about right for the FC weight.
The run is about right for the mods.
REMEMBER, more boost does NOT automatically mean more power.&nbsp The current boost is more efficient - this is why it's running "this fast".

14.0 @ 100mph
I don't know maybe I'm just used to solid rear axle drag cars. My friends foxbody ran a 13.3@103 with just a 1.87 60' time.
