I've been loving the series, but can anyone tell me the America names of the cars if they are here(I know the Skyline isn't here, yet. But I forgot if the Evo is here). Thanks

here's what I can think of offhand:

85=toyota corrola
86=toyota corrola GTS

sil-80=not here, but it's a type of Nissan 240 z

Iketani's car is also a 240 (the type that came here), but the sil-80 was extremely limited production, which is why he was so impressed.

civic=civic ;)

the old dude's mercedes is a C class from the early 90s

the girl's boyfriend's car (in extra stage) is a toyota MR2

Lan Evo= not here yet. We got a really tuned down Lancer in the US.

ummm...maybe I'll think of more later.

Its extrange that one of the most popular cars of Mitsubishi like the Lancer Evolution Series don´t are in the US market, we in Argentina have it.
I have a cuestion for ya, do u have the Honda (Acura I think in the US market) Civic Type R model, beacause I love it, but is not in this country.
By the way the sil-80, its a Quimera car that combines the aspects of 2 diferents cars. one is the 240, like you have said before.

The Emperor returns from his tomb an this time It´s forever for see de best games of the Greats Capcom and the new SNK for see the truth.

Well the Nissan Skyline still isn't here. And that is Nissan's best car. There is also the Suburu Impereza Turbo that too is not here. As for the Sil-80, I thought it called a S13. It was all over the fansub I saw. Anyway the best Civic we have here (Honda Line) is a Si with 160 hp with a 2744 curb wieght, Race tuned. Hey, thanks for the help guys. It is much appreciated.

Sil-80 is a combination of the Nissan Silvia (japan only) and the 180sx (240SX in the US, discontinued).

Mitsubishi bastardized the EVO in the US Lancer. The actual rally model EVO is coming out late this year/early next year.

The car the creep ex-boyfriend was driving through the snow in the Movie was a rally type 4WD Toyota Celica (japan only).

The Takahashi brothers both drove a Mazda RX-7. The older bro drove the older model. Both are available in the US (used).

Toyota MR-2 is available in the US but the new model sucks. Try to get the model in Movie used.

Of course the AE-86 Trueno (Sprinter in the US) and the AE-86 Levin (Corolla in the US) are both very difficult to come by even used because they're at least 18 years old at best. You may be able to find some slob driving around in one. If you do, stop him and buy the thing off of him cause it was the LAST economy compact EVER built with rear wheel drive. That makes it a drift machine for under 1000 bucks. ;-)

It's true!

Read it again. I said the Levin was the Corolla. And the Trueno is most definitely the Sprinter in the US. The only difference was the flip-up lights.

It's true!

yeah, the levin never came out in the states (a levin conversion for corollas runs over $2000), only the trueno in the form of the corolla gt-s.

did anyone else think there weren't enough asian folks in a movie (the fast and the furious) that is supposedly about the San Jose and LA racing scenes?
