"WHERES MY ENGINENS TED!!!, couple of SR20s will pull a premium two weeks before race wars" Of course he was driving a Honda though....
That is true, they wont risk life and limb. However they have the most advanced speed cameras in the world, so its very hard not to get caught.
Serious answers?
There is some accuracy to the movie. In DSM gearboxes double clutching in high RPM is beneficial, because those trannies are crap. DC rev matching, and left foot breaking are other skills to learn, but this movie downplays the reality of such Driving tactics. You would not be "double clutching" in most dig races.
No, you can not blow the welds on the intake, not on a street car. However on a drag car I have seen essentially that happen, well blow the bolts maybe, not the welds per say. But pro stocks have to have engine straps to keep the supercharger from flying off into the audience in case of a nitrous explosion.
The race at the end is fucking ridiculous.
the Supra from the movie is actually a base model automatic, not a twin turbo.
Races dont actually happen in that manner in Cali, and they dont race down Hawthorne, lolol.
And it would be very hard to put "100k under his hood" of an S2k.
what else did you want to know?
