Japan's Version of The Fast n' The Furious- Speed Master Movie

[dhel]

Guys, it's bound to happen..
Been questioning ourselves why the mother land of all tuner cars does not have a live action movie of the tuning cars, street racing, driftting etc. (tired of all their popular animated and manga versions about it e.g. Initial D and Wangan Midnight), The Americans even beat them to it.. but now the wait is over.

The all star cast includes:

• A pink Nissan Fairlady Z (Z32)- A hot lady driver owns this hot pink Z32
• A orange Nissan Silvia 180SX (S13)- Your American dude, trying to be Brian O' Conner and his blue GT-R of dFn'F I guess
• A white Mazda RX-7 (FC3S)- the good guy... the most underrated and underpowered, trying to be Takumi(boring)
• A black Mazda RX-7 (FD3S)- the bad weird psychotic guy

What you think guys?

[impulzz]

looks promising...will it be shown here?

[drey]

No EVO and SUbbie? :sad:

This movie sucks already. :boo:

[rion]

looks like typical anime style. hope the stunts will still be cool like Initial D movie.

[empy]

what, they didn't even use the best japanese cars?

I think the movie will be into the "drift" scene based on the cars listed ... and since evos and subbies don't drift, they're not included.

[niky]

It's a drift scene movie.

Glad they left out all the marketing glitz and settled on cars that represent "real" drifters.

[rion]

I think most stunts are CG...



if indeed most are CG, it will be less entertaining...

HUWAT ??? EVO and SUBBIES not for drifting ?? you must be kidding me.. mas ok nga pang drift yan kasi AWD ...

If you know the EMPEROR team in initial D then you will know

AFAIK RWD cars are much more preferred drift machines than AWD since having an AWD machine gives you more grip on the pavement...
my .02 cents...

I think the Emperor team in Initial D valued grip over drift when they were racing. BTW, it is not good to base your judgements on anime physics.

I have had the good fortune to drive a WRX and to drift it around a little. It show me that it would require pushing the car harder into the curve but would result in a "show drift" which is slower. This is compared to other cars (RWD, FWD config) with the same entry speeds to the curves.

uhmm.. anime physics is not a pretty good reference. anyway, if you watch the episodes where Takumi races against the Emperor team you'll see that the Evos there dont drift too much, which is understable because AWD was designed to increase traction after all.

Now if you're talking about WRC cars, then that's another matter altogether. but even then, you dont see Seb or Tommi swinging their cars wildly because that will scrub off momentum and a few precious seconds off their pace.

COOLNESS... I like the ***y 300Z of the four cars. Hope this movie will be shown here. Too bad the GT-R was scratched in the cast because of a supposed to be weaker boss (RX-7 FD) though, my sentiments goes with the Japanese fans who expected the thier legendary supercar.

ummm... dude, this movie is about street racing and evos and AWD cars can't drift unless converted to RWD, and that's A FACT. I don't recall nga any popular professional drift evo yet eh.

well in order to actually make them slide is to turn to convert them into RWD as they have nice traction due to the 4wd layout.

them tokyo drift evos had their 4wd modified to Rwd (c/o of Rhys Millen) to actually drift the way you see it.

Initial D is more of touge runs less of drifting.

well yeah boo to not having Evos and Scoobies.

what no 86?

may tanong lang po ako sa tokyo drift tungkoldun sa mustang na ginamit nung bida sa huli nung nilabanan niya si DK diba yung makina po doon ang kinabit nila ay yung pang skyline RB20 tama po ba??

uuummm... pare first AWD are not known for drifting, they are poor drifters unless converted like the ones you see on the movie Tokyo drift with their evo. I think you also posted a same sentiment that evos can drift on the thread "whats the next car to gain Godzilla like stature ala Nissan's GTR". You must not base your facts on cartoons. As a matter of fact I think there are NO popular EVO drift car yet to race on any D1 or Formula D event.

Always remember that AWD cars are made for GRIP not DRIFT. But ofcourse there are exceptions like the popular Signal R34 GT-R that is a track and a drift competitor, like they said the GT-R is a rear wheel drive with just a pull of a fuse.

Note: although the GT-R is not a totally AWD like the EVO and Subbie, it's an "automatic" all wheel drive. GTRs are natural RWDs, but when the rear side starts to slip, then you just push the gas pedal, the computer moves torque to front wheels too and d car goes where the front wheels are facing.

its the legendary RB26DETT pare. See the thread bet. cefiro A31 and Galant GTi car comparison, may pic dun!

and as I saw the trailer, I think this movie is about underground street racing and not too much on drifting..
