I hate that you’re likely right. In our society, nurse Wubbles is most likely to get the result of the department taking appropriate action by suing over Detective Payne’s conduct. I share your doubt that any internal investigation will have teeth to change his behavior in the future, but a sizable settlement payment…

Elsewhere, I think I saw someone estimate that it was the department’s attempt to get out in front of potential liability for the injuries to the truck driver because of the police chase. The logic being that if William Gray had any substances in his system, fault for the accident could be argued to be his (correct me…

Thank you for this.

I see your point, except for the CVT aspect. Can you think of an example in the performance world where a CVT transmission would be faster in a given application (assuming everything else as equal in the car) than a modern dual-clutch unit? Also, the ability to hold up to high power levels may be a factor, but I’m not…

Oh God, that’s about as bad as Thrust—firstly, yes, it’s a softcore porn, and the title should have tipped me off. In my defense, this was right after The Fast and the Furious took off, so knock-offs were everywhere, and the case art in the rental store just showed an FD3S with a wing...

It occurs to me that you’re very not wrong. I forgot about the EMP horseshit.

I’m fuzzy about details that I tried to block out, but I think you’re right: the editing mixed up a 370Z and R35 GT-R in the opening scene, the crash CGI was god-awful, and they made some big deal before the final race about designing a bodykit to create enough downforce that the lead’s car didn’t get airborne at 200…

I haven’t seen that, is it better or worse than 200 M.P.H.? That was the one where the FC RX-7 got stolen during production, so they just replaced it with an S14 in the same color and hoped no one noticed.

Star for best use of this picture.

I dunno, this doesn’t have a submarine breaking through ice to chase (and keep up with) the heroes’ unbelievably fast cars after being remotely hacked.

I forget where I heard a similar opinion (probably someone here), but I’m pretty sure this will only cement Scott Eastwood’s status as “Man, that guy did not fill the void that Paul Walker left in Fast Eight: Furious Ocho.” I’ll watch it for some pretty replica cars and unbelievable bullshit action, but I’m going to…

Shhh, this is hoping to capture the same audience that is okay with speed boosts after each shift in the cars’ 37-speed transmissions. Math doesn’t apply, here.

Rub it in, why don’t you. Are you in Europe, or somewhere in the Asian region?

There’s the opinion I share—I knew someone else wrote it out already.

If I had the space at my condo, and had some money for the rig and a trailer, I’d jump at that F-350 in a heartbeat—I’m even in Ohio.

I responded with to him with another pic of an FD, then I saw this and laughed—I almost picked this one off of Google images as my example. Kudos.

Tell that to the Japanese manufacturers. If I’m missing sarcasm in your comment, I apologize.

I played a drinking game with the Fast and the Furious movies—drink every time there’s a shot of shifting. Pedals/arm movement counts, but no repeats if the editing shows the same shift action with both shifter and clutch shots.

Torque is almost redeemed by Adam Scott and ‘so blatantly bad it’s grin-inducing’ Pepsi product placement.

No argument here.
