Someone please tell me why you need a wing on the back of a front wheel drive car anyway?
Does this mean that its running deep in the 2s in the quarter?
I dont see where it says "Type R" and I dont know if it has "noss" or not so I am stumped and I guess a little behind the times I am 45 ya know and I have a very different definition of whats fast or not and according to my rules this aint it so if I am wrong please enlighten me.
14593These things are almost as bad as the "Clown cars" with 28 inch wheels that run around here.

That's a Japanese car movement. Can't think of the name off the top of my head.

Dekatora is one of their weird car modding things, but it's more centered around modding trucks to look like Optimus Prime at Christmas time. I can't find the term for the car one.

Just think if we could adapt the VTEC stuff to the LT1 then there would be literally nothing not even the Space Shuttle that could catch it!

Judging by the FAT tires and the entire 50lbs of body, id say it needs the wing!!

Race cars are a different story although drag racing found better results with the small spoilers on door slammers than the larger ones. On the street no. A $50 slap on spoiler from autozone is gay and useless. On a car that will really use it ok. Although trans ams factory spoiler makes alot of downforce.

Those wings are useless on a street car. It's just like guys who put smoke switches in their diesel trucks, they are trying to imitate a race vehicle. They act exactly the same as an aircraft wing, except instead of lifting, they push down, which means they are useless below 90-100 mph.

Yeeeah, that's it lol. It's funny to think that that stuff looks so ridiculous to us, but to them our cars are probably just as ridiculous in their minds :jest:

I haven't looked into it much. But i'm wondering if they are just having fun making it look like some race car from anime cartoons?

Probably lol, I don't know anyone who actually knows anything or anyone involved in that movement, so I'm just guessing. The cartoon thing is probably also a factor, considering everything else that becomes pop culture in Japan seems to stem from the anime they produce.

There was a 4th Gen Red / Maroon? Camaro in 2Fast2Furious in the parking lot. I watched it last week and seen it but forgot to post about it.

I like the way the headlights look. And even the front bumper isn't that bad. Is it overkill? Yes. If it the rest of the car flowed with it, it could be pulled off well. The color choices are bad though....and the wheels....and the spoiler....and the decal

A fart can and "noss" stickers and your in the 10s even with what was a stock Accord beforehand.
Now if you want to go crazy speed then add the "Type R" anywhere and its instantly 8 to 9 secs then.

FART CANS






NEON LIGHTS




















KILLER GRAFIX

Lol I'd say the F&F series did pretty good about not ricing out the muscle cars in the movies. The Camaro, the Chevelle, the Charger, etc. were all pretty much how we'd like them to look, right? They just dressed up all the import cars.

Badbird_96
01-20-2013, 10:13 PM
Agreed. In fast and furious (4th movie) it had some really nice muscle. That gran torino and the roadrunner, the bandit t/a, the gnx, the charger, and it had the BIG RED 69 camaro or atleast a clone. Plus some more that I'm sure I'm forgetting. I even liked the stang from Tokyo drift and especially the Monte.

1 had the charger. 2 had the yenko and challenger. None of them were riced. The stang was the closest to rice but it was portrayed as a functional car not rice.
