The reason why 2 Fast 2 Furious is my personal favorite is because it had a good variety of cars and races.

The Yenko Camaro and the Challenger fit the characters that were driving them. One thing I'd like to see discussed is the body count. Some of the wrecks, especially in 2F2F and Fast 5, would have been deadly in real life. In Fast 5 20-30 cops "died". Yeah, I know it's a movie and disbelief is supposed to be suspended. But some of the crash sequences would have been, bloody, gory messes had they been real.

@Budget Boost DIY I wouldn't call any of the cars in the movie rice. In real life some of them kind of are, like the black heist civics, with only body kits, but in the movie it's implied imo that all of their cars are modified in some way to make them faster. Even in the movie that green Eclipse was sought after at that night race event. Everyone loved it, Jesse was all over the parts. Kinda personal taste after that. I like it, but i liked Dom's RX7 a bit more.

Tyrese brought so much to these movies and just continues to delight us, I’m really glad they took notice of his tastes when it came to the cars and didn’t just tell him to STFU and do what he was told and getting paid for.

This car is riced out, but the 3g eclipse is still cool, you can still boost it and basically have a torquier 4g63, (they come with a 4g64) or you can drop a 3.8L mivec from a 4th gen, which will give you a 300hp stock motor, put boost on it, tune it, you've easily got 400.. people sleep on these cars.. which is good for us young guys, im happy they didn't do well because these things are a ton of fun and pretty reliable too. Great first car for anyone getting into tuning.

Damn, a 300ZX can't even get a mention!

I'm a of the MR2... Especially the 2nd gen.. I had a buddy that had 3 sw20s at one point and I wish I grabbed one...however that 3rd gen got such a small amount of screen time... I loved the silver MR2 leaving the scramble.. well done, but that car would have been pretty cool

It wasn't Coral Springs the car was in Cape Coral, FL!! There was a Police Officer that had the car and drove it around. I lived in Fort Myers at the time which is the next town over. When 2Fast came out the car was sitting at the Bell Tower movie theater and of course, we were freaking out an actual car from the movie. I think they let the guy drive in that big "confuse the cops" scene with about 100 different cars. To us, it was a huge deal even though the car was a total dud performance-wise.

Saw the movie in theater last showing of the night with friends when it came out. Everyone left the theater hyped and cruised town racing lights for hours. We were in a mustang GT with supercharger hood scoop. Good times. Smoked a 911.

This man is my new spirit animal

I love to see Craig appear in Car Trek to criticise the lads choice of cars, that would be cool, also love more of him, he's so cool tbh
