The fast and the furious tokyo drift

Wonder if the price of 300's as cheap drift cars will rise after the release. Perhaps some people should buy some in case of increases ;)

I hate this franchise.
It's likely the price of a 300 will go up as our secret is already well and truely out, but mainly because of more and more people stacking them by showing off their *Mad 5k!11z*... yo! and making them rarererer(er)

Name one person that has stacked one due to dorifto action? I don't know of any on this board.

Ultimately, the price of 300s will go up, but not by any significant rate - and in complete isolation of this (crap) film.

It really annoys me when people look at drifting and go.......that's easy, it's a handbrake turn, I could do that etc etc, hmmm in your FWD car, noooo! Can you not see it doesn't skid to a sideways halt, it's being produced under power and maintained! And what utter pants these films are sadly!

I've only seen part of one of the films. Imports are certainly not my thing, but if it's on TV I'd watch them, wouldn't pay though ;)

The criminal thing about this film is the Ford Mustang powered by an import motor :( I believe a six cylinder Nissan, can't remember...

No, he certainly didn't. A crash resulting from a diff locking up wouldn't be 'stacking it'. The same happened to me and I only managed to avoid an accident out of pure luck. :(
