L in fast and furious

Yes, I can't help it. Anything to do with speed and cars. Even ricers!
Fast and Furious is on the boob tube and I just noticed the Parts truck that the cop was using in the beginning of the show is a little red Lightning.
You would think he would be racing the ricer's with that instead of a car.

Just another worthless peace of trivia.

Yeah, I was just watching that too on T.V., channel #7 here in N.Y. I think it may be a 99 Lightning. In one scene the front grill doesn`t have the Ford emblem on and in another scene it does. They probably used more than one truck for the film.

Probably after he plowed into the curb in front of the parts store.

Yet the 1/4 runs take about two minutes.

Would have been fun to watch the LiL ReD L and the R/T go head to head against the Train!!!
In Hollywood seconds of course.
I Kinda wish our SC stuck up out of the hood like the 671's did.

I always got off on the one Mel Gibson drove in Road Warrior to!

Not trying to take up for the ricers, or sound like a smarta$$, but if you watch the extra stuff on the dvd it says the movie is based on....get this A REAL 1 MILE RACE that happens in new york....I don't know why they went from the mile to the 1320.

My friend is a ricer and went to a ricer car show and saw that car...non turbo, auto. If you don't believe me? How come you see no intercooler, and also the first seen when he runs his car count the gears...7 lol

The movie is what got me into cars. Ever since I saw it, Iv always wanted to get a Supra. But, since there high price(still ) and hard to get, Iv been mainly looking at Mustangs.

Hhhmmmmmm....................oh well.




FYI, I think the L is a 99/00. Look at the rims.
