"The automotive star of the film, however, may wind up being a rather innocuous-looking '67 Ford Mustang fastback that was lined up next to Mitch Allread's radical '68 Toyota Corona. Rumors were flying among the participants there that the car was destined to wind up with the drivetrain from a Nissan Skyline GT-R — including its twin-turbocharged inline six — under its sheet metal as an important plot point in the film. But rumors fly when facts are few, and the filmmakers themselves are keeping quiet."

This looks hopeful. Why would kids want a 350z when they could run out and get a Ford Mustang and be just like Vin?

Place lighter near butt. Push hard and fart. While farting, ignite the lighter.

As much as you want. Be sure to plum a second line.. and your purge line into the cabin of the car. Also.. take up smoking cigerettes. You'll look cooler.

ive noticed people talking about the younger "kids" driving z's lately. i am 18 and i just traded in my old car to get a 2004 Z. i bust my a$$ working 6-7 days a week as a waiter to make my car payments. i love having my Z, because it is the only one at my high school, i know that i have a really nice car that i work hard to own, and oh yeahh.. the chicks dig it its going to **** me off seeing kids parents buy them Z's because one thing i can say about having to pay for my own car is that i really appreciate it (wash it 2+ times a week, always spotless, etc.) where you might not if someone just gave it to you. oh well, just my opinion.

The big difference between the 350z and the Supra after these films were made, is that when FnF1 came out, the Supra was already out of production in the US. This is a big reason why the resale value spiked to the extent that it did. The problem with the 350z being featured in one of these films is that it is still in high production, meaning we will probably just be seeing MORE of them on the road, which ultimately could mean our resale value actually dropping in years to come. Remeber the Eclipse aftermarket after FnF1? Yeah...

It would help with the aftermarket, though. However, I'm not sure if we need any more rediculous looking body kits and giant carbon fiber wings.

I cant wait!!! I almost secretly kinda like reading through those threads where they like to say how young they are and that they have a Z and where can I get the best body kit...etc etc.
HAHAHA. "I deserve it." Yeah, b/c high school was such an accomplishment....Congratulations! Start patting yourself on the back when you get a degree, a job, and when mommy and daddy aren't buying you cars.

...well said. You seem to not have enough life experience yet to know what accomplishment is...graduating high school was as difficult as waking up and showing up, big deal. If you volunteered some of your time, does that mean that you deserve a b!@$ j@&? LOL
