Behind the Scenes: Fast and the Furious - Garage419

The mountain drift scene from 3, I thought it was pretty bada**. I've always thought they were drifting in rain, though.

Yes, for season 2, we WILL be doing American Muscle. Believe it or not, I've LONG been a fan of muscle cars having owned modded 'Stangs, an Impala SS, a Chevelle and others. At this exact moment in my life, I've been focusing on exotics and euros...but still ADORE the old cars and cars like the new Camaro, the new Mustang and of course, the Challenger. Yummy.

Awsome show Matt, With all the fast and furious movies you always have to suppend reallism anyway. I'm not a big fan of the import tuners but watching some of the action shot was cool. Though in FF 3 the 68 fastback still had s 351 Windsor for the final race. Makes me wonder if Greg's Bikini Driving School, which is a informative and entertaining show, would get some exotic american cars.

Ahh, yes...my old M3. Glad you hated what it had become as much as I did. However, since sponsors paid me to build the car and I made MAD money on it's resale, I fully believe that anything worth doing is worth doing for MONEY.

The fast and the furious movies....i'm always the dude in the theater complaining about all the shenanigans being pulled throughout the movie, from things that dont sound right 2 just regular car physics yet still i've c'n every single one of em at least 4 times.

i remember when lieberman worked for magnaflow and had the worlds most debaucherated and disgusting M3. now he's a producer. definitely a succesful franchise. i'm glad because i also like to live my life a quarter mile at a time, for those ten seconds or less i feel alive... haha ha ha

Re:MattF G419, Thanks for the "Thoughts on a Mitsubishi GTO(3000 GT)" from yesterday. Still think you guys need to be on mainstream T.V. What about a feature film??? You and FLD??? After watching this episode on "Fast & the Furious" WE NEED A REAL FILM! You all know what I mean. Real Cars, Real Power, Real Burnouts and Real Drifting! Gee,...what a concept?...?

Great interview. I've seen all 3 FFs and even though 3 was the most ridiculous it was the only one that I actually liked. Probably because the cars were actually pretty hot and the lead actor was not a tool. And that comment about nyc taxis at the end.. hell yeah. I drive in nyc every day. I do battle with those nutjobs daily.

The host seems to think that oil can not spray out from an oil pressure gauge. Guess he has never heard of mechanical gauges before. Would have been nice to hear some info about the challenger from part 2. I know "Muscle Car" picked up one of the cars used in the film and turned it into a project.

Nice episode; I like hearing about the behind-the-scenes backstory for car movies. For Tokyo Drift, I wished he wouldve mentioned something about the '71 Monte Carlo with the 500hp Bill Mitchell motor (from the beginning of the movie). http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=115634
