What do you think will happen to our Z's when Fast & Furious Tokoyo Drift comes out?

Due to the way Nissan has reponded to trends in the past, I think this movie will popularize the Z, having a negative effect on resale value. I think Nissan will probably start adding additional incentives such as rebates to base and enthusiast Z's, to make them more affordable for the younger market. So be prepared to see your local high school with a couple more 350z's. Hopefully, that won't be the case.

As long as these movie struck kids don't hurt anybody else; they can drift their guardian-given Zs into a concrete retaining wall for all I care. Sometimes you gotta get burned before you learn not to put your hand in the fire.
Didn't those kids mimicking 2f2f die in a head on collision (2f2f style)? I guess one of them didn't realize he was suppose to play the dude that chickens out at the last second

maybe the police should have said "failed to copy", because if they did copy (reproduction of an original) they wouldn't have died.

Oh man funny joke but the fact that those guys died is pretty bad. I hope people realize that doing 150mph in traffic and drifting right before an exit is not going to have a good outcome. If they tried to reenact the train part, all I can say is that is a big no no. I drive crazy at times, but there are limits. I've also caught myself in a few close calls that made me realize what those limits are. Traffic=No Playing On The Road. I'm going to hit the track this spring just to calm down the NFS. I hope others do the same. Keep the street safe people.

Speaking of value, the Toyota Supra and the Z will be different. When I got my Toyota MR2 2.0L at the dealership, there were maybe only 1, or 2 Supra(s) at the showroom. I remember they had a Limited Edition Red Supra with red stripings non-Turbo for $29,xxx that I wanted to get because of my price limitations. When I got my $14.99 oil changes at the dealership, sometimes I don't see any Supra in the dealership. Look at 300ZX Turbo, which cost almost the same as Supra Turbo, but produced a lot more than the Supra, and the price today reflects that. Today, I took a drive to the city because .... I'll post a thread later, but I saw at least 25 2006 Zs in front of a dealership that is almost finished with remodeling. I guess the dealership order that many for their grand re-opening. I don't think at any time did you see that many Supras at the dealership, or even at meets (maybe I'm wrong on the meet). I hope my Z value goes up, but I'm not banking on it. When the movie comes out, there probaly be more Z and less questions about "What kind of car is it?"
