You know the one... "Our hero" is drag racing down a two-lane street thickly populated by parked cars and bystanders, and he's racing this gauntlet while reprogramming his engine computer on his laptop which is sitting next to him on the passenger seat.
the sad part about that is that scene was shot 5 mins away from my house =( ..literally

seriously the stang has a nissan motor, it's been a good flamewar starter for like a month now as the nissan guys are pissed their motor is in a Ford, and the stang guys hate the Nissan motor in their beloved car lol It's actually been pretty entertaining reading some of it

I'll bet.

I'm finding it difficult to imagine my getting excited if I found out the F&F3 RX-8 had a Mustang engine in it... As dumb as my disagreements can get online, this is a new low.

Never mind, after reading phrozbyt3's post, I'd better take it all back. Wouldn't want an enraged Skyline fan gunning me down over a movie car's inclusion of a Mustang engine.
