<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>I downloaded it.

Uhh not gonna talk about the actual movie though.

The Skyline in the beginning was the shit, and i am not even into import cars. Just wondering why are skylines not street legal in the USA (atleast in california i know they are).

The Evo was kinda ghey, after reading the specs on it in car and driver i was disapointed, i think he should have just drived the skyline the whole movie.

The classic cars they won were nice to =D</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>The Evo is a fast car and handles extremely well in almost any condition : wet, dry, snow, bumpy and curvy. You can't say that about American Muscles cars. They're good in the straights. Something roads don't typically do. 8^)</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>true, but there are alot of parts you can put on older cars to help with handling and suspension</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Of course, but those cars are extremely heavy and the suspensions will help up to a point. They'll never be as agile as a smaller car. And you're comparing 8 cyl to 4 cyl. Different technology.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>very true, my main goal of this post was to point out the fact why would skyline be non-stree legal because of horsepower</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Skylines are not legal in the US because of emmisions and crash tests. The ones that are here were imported through the gray market, which paid their own crash test (buying cars to crash them) at the DOT. Has nothing to do with HP.</div>
