they basically all had bad traction, they needed them to be that way for the drift scenes

well dont bother

yea i think that was edmunds review of all the tokyo drift cars

I havent either, i think it markets to the younger import crowd. I have had no intrest at all actually. the only reason i found that article is because i was interested in the performance specs of the 2wd EVO they had in it, which is 0-60 in approx 6 secs.. traction problems.

still havent seen the movie......

This was from "Inside Line"

^^^^this was pulled from the article i read^^^^^

In The Fast & the Furious: Tokyo Drift, the fiction is that the hero transplants the powertrain from a Nissan Skyline GT-R into an old Mustang in just one day so he can take on the Drift King that night and prove himself the greatest drifter of them all. In real life, five of the six Mustangs built by the Tokyo Drift production team had American V8s under their hood for reliable power production during filming. Nothing beats a big-inch American V8 when it comes to making power.With at least 375 horsepower on tap, the V8 Tokyo Drift Mustangs could spin their tires with ease — and would, no matter what. The beaten and battered Mustang got to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds and consumed the quarter-mile in 14.7 seconds at 96.7 mph. For a drift car built to bash into other cars while wagging its tail violently, that's not bad

Seriously "gotohellricers" is right I also read an article on-line that said they used the mustang with the V-8 for the drift scenes. They said the skyline conversion was just for show.. they wanted to give the car more appeal for the movie. Ill try to find the article and post it.

listen cars are cars american import and euro guess who wins the guy with the most $$$$ dont mater what it is high hp does not mean better depending on style of track and i think she knows what she talking about but i do beg to difer v8 are definetly not lazy!
