why does he decide that two big tanks would be better than one?standalone engine management AND an aic? nos fogger AND direct port injector? redundancy? perhaps he should have spent the extra cash on.. welding up the holes in his floor plan (those rivets don't hold out) or zip tying that pesky stainless braid off the ground.Also, in the opening scene why the **** is the passenger side door swinging openon the truck? why does it start with dual axles in the back and switch to a single axle? Why when they lay the parts out for the supra does it show a bunch of duplicate parts as well as parts that are for other cars? How does making a computer image of a supra help you build it at all? Why when you shoot a car, flames appear on its surface, causing the NOS to blow, shooting it 5 feet in the air? Why is it a "long story" about why the trans hate dom, when in reality it finally takes him about 10 seconds to explain? if dom has been dating leddy as long as his sister says, at what point did he sleep with tran's sister? does tran even have a sister? If you walked in on a guy breaking into a shop by smashing out the window and sneaking in, why would you assume he was a cop? If brian was the only other guy who knew about the tran's DVD players, would they believe it wasn't him who "narced them out?" Why do they put soap numbers on the cars in the race wars scene when there is no timing equipment? With all the talk about a 1/4 mile at a time and a 10 second car, why do they never actually run a timed quarter mile race in the entire movie? what the **** is a motec system exhaust? why would you run incredibly large (for a small 4 cylinder) T66 turbos on a very high compression naturally aspirated race motor (spoon engines)? why does brian drive his lightning into the curb? Why does his eclipse always spin out at 140 mph? If he fried the piston rings how does he drive the **** out of it so hard 5 minutes later when he is running from the cops? How the hell do you blow the welds on the intake manifold with nitrous? If its a 1/4 mile from the light to the railroad track, so what? if you actually ran a 1/4 mile you would hit the tracks at your trap speed, jumping and wrecking every time. Why do the supra's windshield wipers come on when it jumps the tracks? How many speeds does the eclipse have anyway? 7? When dom is racing the charger why the hell doesn't he just redline each gear and floor it? he is shifting gears like a maniac and it shows him changing his position on the throttle way too much. Why does jesse think that ducking down in his signature jetta would make him less recognizable? Why didn't the police arrest the trans for blowing up brian's car? If the truckers are going for vigilante justice, why not just let them? thats what happened anyway. Why do they line up to street race and then WAIT for the police scanner to pick up another call? why not just go, since if the cops are coming you might as well get it over and done with before hand. Why is victor trying to get on the NIRA circuit? there is no trying, you just do. Why does he even try with a car that has hydraulics? Why does he pronounce nira? Why CANT he pronounce his last name? If the girl tells edwin that she is his whether he wins or loses, then why when he loses does she leave him? What is wrong with the microwave? If dom's sister doesn't date dom's friends, why was she dating vince when brian came into the picture? Did you if you take it frame by frame you can see mia's nipple when she is changing shirts at the house? Why is it vince's fault that no one got dom? seems like there were plenty of other people with cars and oppurtunities. Why do the cops respond so quickly? they "get a report of street racing" and less than 5 seconds later the entire california highway patrol descends on them. Why can't a twin turbo supra catch up with a couple dirtbikes? Why doesn't brian shoot the trans on the dirtbikes when he sees them, instead of staring at them and letting them shoot at him? What difference does it make when you shoot your nos? if you were a real racer you wouldn't need a button on the steering wheel, you just let it turn on with WOT. Why doesn't the supra spin both tires when it races the ferrari? supra TT's had lsd. Why couldn't you tow the wrecked supra across the finish line? Why does the eclipse have its reverse lights on when it spins out at the stadium if he was going 140 in 7th or 8th gear when it spun? Why does his shifter make all those loud click/clinking noises when he shifts? If he ignores his laptop, what good does it do to have it open in the first place? What the hell is that one girl who rides with tran's pack have on her back?

Thats all for now

yes, but everyone knows about that one. he has a civic and an integra in his shop and he says "we go no engines do we? a couple of sr20 motors will fetch a premium one week before race wars." also, when they "pop the hood" on the supra when it rolls in on the flat bed, "j2z engine, no ****?" and dom says "I retract my previous statements." um... what else did think was gonna be under there? a b16b?

first I read that the third was recorded at the same time as II to save costs.. and then I read that the third was about drifting. But drifting is mainstream now.. I've seen it on speed, tlc, discovery, I heard commercials for it in advance auto and autozone, I see kids snapping up 240's and AE86's and RX-7 turbo II's, and now fast and furious? its the next logical step. I like drifting and I see its integration into mainstream as a good thing... For instance, we are actually starting to have some open to the public drift days here on the east coast!
