Don't worry, the Nissan engine was for show only. The V8 powered cars were used for the actual drift work. Too bad the 6 cylinder car was tested fastest out of all of the Mustangs used for the movie...

Now, put an 800hp RB26DETT vs. a 1,100hp turbo V8 and you have a much more interesting debate (weight differences, torque differences, traction issues, etc.).
I was just saying the turbo I6 was faster than the much larger iron block V8s. And, purely from a performance perspective, that is interesting to note.
Not that it makes for a better car (low end torque, sound of a V8, historical significance, etc.), just that it is faster with a smaller engine, due to forced induction.

So is this the future of street cars? Is this what hot rodding / muscle cars is coming too? Putting RICE ROCKETS in perfectly good V8 car bodies.

THe RB26 is also an iron block.
So that plus the turbo and all the electronics i'm sure it weighs the same or more then a carbed small block Ford engine.

it's almost here and I noticed in the trailer that when Sean is going up the escalator at the airport there are posters all the way up the wall with M.C. Hammer asking "What is a digital movie camera?" WTF

The car was actually in pieces and had no engine when they started building it. They didnt swap any engines. They needed the car for the finale to race the bad guy and they had an extra skyline engine from a wrecked car. I am sure they would have used an import car but they were all seized by the cops in the movie. The most amazing part to me was that the car was a basketcase to start with and they didnt paint it, just buffed it up and the paint was AMAZING looking. Must have used Zaino.
The movie is actually better than I expected it to be. MUCH better than 2F2F.
