Drifting After 3F3F

[EIXVO]

Who thinks drifting is going to become the new big thing. Just like the after effects of 2F2F.

[xEJ20x]

And I thought that the rising prices of Japanese rwd cars were signs that drifting was already a fad.

[teh DIRT]

or the fact that drifting already is the fad.

[Scapegoat]

wait...what is drifting? Is this new?

Ok...dude...seriously. The Fast and the Furious series is based around fad's. That is why it does well in theaters. Because it takes something popular, like drifting, illegal street racing, etc, and puts it on the big screen for all the wannabe "I luv teh 1337 dr1f70rz!!!111!1eleventybillion".

[james_ls]

It's going to become the new ****...I remember seeing teh 1st one in the theatres...there was this Asian guy (in a rather nice show Civic) all JDMd out with his goggles and gloves and ****.

Hillarious....

[eviltalon]

yeah everybody wants 2 drift nowadays

[05Accent]

i think there are going to be alot of people that think they can drift...

[OutOfStock]

im going just to laugh at the ricer assholes that will try to drift after the movie

[teh DIRT]

big wings became a fad after F&F too.

[180sxDrifter]

I think it will be good for me, so I can make a nice proffet on my car

leave PT350 alone... :-p

[the mike]

I have been assout for 10 years now, and will continue after the fad is over.

[krnhaze]

im gonna laugh at people who think they can drift and end up ****ing up... sigh dumbazz ppl today

[bastid]

I'm completely oblivious, when does 3F3F come out?

[MPowerKai]

I think it comes out in June, I'm going to take a volvo to go see it. I don't want to get pulled over for not doing anything like the first fast and furious when I was the only asian in there and I had a black S2000. Damn kids and cops.

[G1GSX]

i was driving home when the first one came out and a cop pulled me over and was like the fast and the furious is over im like huh i just got out of the gas station lol

[xEJ20x]

I have been assout for 10 years now, and will continue after the fad is over.

I believe thats called "Mooning".
Back in the day, that was considered a fad too.

[pearlcoupeg35]

Drifting is allready huge. 3fast3furious will just make the mainstream "aware" of what it is...

For those of us who already know about drifting, it will just be annoying to answer all the questions about it and explain what it is to our grandparents! LOL

Overall, it should be good for the sport of Drifting to have some exposure - look at the Sports Compact Car / Import Car market since the first movie came out.....SKYROCKETED!!!!! :supz:

[the mike]

On the flipside, it made big aluminium wings and neon cool too.

My insureance is going to go up, I can feel it...

[smoger]

um,.. i think drifting is the OLD big thing. it was def. WAY more popular about a year-year and a half ago.

of course the movie will make it explode again :dunno:

[the mike]

They have been drifting in Japan for like 8-9 years now. Look at Initial D. No newer cars in there, no R33's, no GD Impreza's...

[LSHatch]

Maybe that will get all the ricers off the street and allow street racing to go back to how it was.

Or maybe they will all "drift" into a wall, crash, blow up, and die.

[brk4sti]

Drifting has yet to be huge at all it may get big it may not but I hope for my friends sake it gets huge so they make money

[jvanquish]

drifting is nice...
but how about some real track work
...
like bever-run or something?

beaver run FTW!

What a nice track. I was just there for the SRT Track Experience.

[brk4sti]

Isn't beaver run small that's what I always thought

[Scapegoat]

Isn't beaver run small that's what I always thought

it isn't a huge track. but it is a LOT of fun. I was doing 110+ on the straightaways in the srt-8 magnum and charger, and srt-6 crossfire.

Great turns too.

[JSPECFC3S]

I have very mixed feelings... I plan on drifting ETown this summer... I have ****ed around with the touge since I got my first turbo II FC when I was 16 on the back roads of upstate NY.

I wouldnt mind the value of my car to skyrocket, but I also don't want cops hiding on the backroads and having local governments put up speed bumps on all the hairpins...

One thing is for sure though... a lot of dumb 16-17 yr old kids are going to straight up DIE in car accidents this summer! And I'll be real pissed if they destroy some of the already rare vehicles of drifting fame.

i'd be pissed if they fwd 'drift' into my porsche thats coming later this year...

[SUB2.5RS]

I agree with JSPECFC3S ALOT of 16-17 year old kids are gonna think they can do it,and say "its not hard". And then there gonna be wrapped around a pole or a tree. And its gonna be all over the news and cops will be all over the responsible car enthusiast. Yeah I cant wait for this because thats what I want more TICKETS!

[EvlEgl]

I can't drift...

[xEJ20x]

You say that like it was a good thing. :roll:

Stage 4 has S2000s, Altezzas, and R34s. :mrgreen:

:iagree:


Most of these kids will be driving in FWD cars. So many of them will rip the e-brake and skid around corners saying it was a "drift".
And Darwin have mercy on the ones who get RWD and AWD cars.

[EIXVO]

Yeah, I defg know its huge in japan but I think that the production of the movie will bring the hipe over to the US more so that it is know. I also agree there will be alot of kids pulling the ebrake and thinking that they are drifting, go figure. Im interested none the less

[LSHatch]

Stage 4 has S2000s



So sad. The game sucks.

[xEJ20x]

So sad. The game sucks.

Its just the anime, not the arcade.

[MPowerKai]

The initial d game is awesome!! I love the game!
What really sucked is how the S2000 lost to Takumi

[pearlcoupeg35]

You say that like it was a good thing. :roll:

From a financial standpoint - its a VERY GOOD THING. If your an "old schooler" who doesnt like it when things ur into go mainstream, then yes, i guess its not so great.

I for one like the exposure and hype for the custom car/import/sport compact car sceene. Yes there are negatives, but overall the industry, the cars, the parts, the tuning, and the overall quality of everything has risen since the explosion of the late 90s/early 2000s.

While im sure 99% of the movie will be corny, the other 1% will be cool and better than ALL the chick flicks my girlfriend takes me to see! :mrgreen:

:drag:

[On Sale]

being a ex-drifter, i plan on seeing it. im actually gonna get back into the scene, NOT because of this movie, because i miss taking turns sideways, and making my passengers **** their pants... i miss those days :( , but yea. im in the market for a s13.

[EIXVO]

cool-Im a fan of all nissans
