The Fast and the Furious 3!!!!!!!!

drifting takes alot more skill than drag or auto x combined, but I do agree that they need to keep it off the big screen. The first two movies did no good except to show the local kids that graphics, big wings, and loud 4" exhausts on a 90hp car makes you a race car driver. With the third one coming out I get to look forward to kids trying to slide around every corner in a residential neighborhood at lightning speeds. woo hoo!

Wow could not have said it better.F&F destroyed the "Import scene" now they are going to destory drifting...
Can't they just make it "3imes 3he dom3sticsz"?

Hopefully the drifting scene does get destroyed. Like one writer/photographer said about having to cover a drifting event "It's like having to miss the NHRA Nationals because your girlfriend is dragging you to a figure skating event."

Thats the beauty of autosports isn't it? Some people love drifting, some hate it. Some love Auto-X, some hate it. Some love drags, some hate it. Personally, I'd rather watch drifting than drag racing. The only time drag racing is fun for me to watch is when I know people doing it....or when I'm watching someone in my rear view mirror. Drifting is fun to watch for me, I like watching people that know what they're doing slide an entire course and I like laughing at the newbies that end up spinning out at every corner.

I think the fast and furious movies helped out the import scene. It made a lot of people want to get into it. Yes it created some idiots and ricers, but overall alot more people got into the scene. If it didnt, you would see that many more domestics out there.

Good point brian

I think it brought out more idiots than it did "true" entusiasts. And I'm sure the movie will suck and there is NO way I'll pay any amount of $ to watch it. Just my $.02.

Didnt mind the first to movies, just another reason to take quotes from and use em in real life, like Napolean Dynamite.
I thought the movies were OK, enough that I bought the first one back in the day.
Neither Walker or Diesel are in this flick so thats a good sign for the haters.

It only put a sour taste in the mouths of people were that were already into it and the newcomers didnt do everything by the book....
