Also, why are they using RHD cars in the next F&F? YOu guys should get some free advertising in the movie.

"Evo? where'd you get an Evo from?"

"Why, I went to HB mitsu of course!!"

"Sweet! I'll just tune the AYC timer, you'll pull 9.....G's"

nope those are Evo GTs. they do not come with S-AYC. all JDM Evos get the options that were initially availabe on the VIII MR. there is no more IX MR. only the US gets one "by name".

Oh ok. GT's are the Sh*t. I predict that'll be the more popular of the GT and GSR. Already automotive journalists in every IX review I've read have said they prefer the GT. The fact that it's cheaper and isn't crammed with computer-assisted driving aids also works in it's favour in most people's eyes. IMO the alcantara seats look and feel nicer than those leather things in the GSR anyway. I've only seen one IX so far. It was about two months ago. Silver. From what I've seen there isn't a badge on the back to designate wether they're GSR or GT. That kinda sucks.

one of the star cars in the next F&F movie is going to be a late 60's early 70's mustang with a skyline gt-r powerplant, and a nissan silvia I beleive. I read this in the new issue of modified magazine, they pictures of the mustang, the nissan(s), and the 2 evos.
