Gran Torino killed it in the movie! It would've been better if Dom was drivin it though.

Muscles RULE!

[QRXenomorphs]

I'd like to get myself a '67 Shelby Cobra 427.

[SuperTorinogt]

@bp240 In the movie it had Hans engine. In real life, the stunt car had a Ford BB V8 because the 4 banger couldnt cut the mustard.

[winitred000]

gran torino's were mostly red and white

[machone7I]

@bp240 well, i saw a silvia, i thought it was silvia. and yeah, i dont really mind, since if it had the mustang engine, with about 460 torque stock, and about 360 hp stock if it was the 390c.i. or just 290 if it was the 289/302c.i. and it had been souped up it would be a beast capable of eating 350Z s

[bp240]

@machone7I the mustang had a twin turbo skyline engine. if u dont believe me google "insideline tokyo drift mustang gtr" and it should be the first link. they did rip the engine from Han's silvia, but that never had a silvia engine to begin with. another article says they ended up dyno'ing the car with the skyline motor at 340hp at the wheels

[machone7I]

@bp240 thats true, the 350z is fast, but that's cause the mustang had a silvia engine.

[blackharley11]

the 72 torino is my fav muscle car along with the 67 shelby. im on the search for either one. i want one so bad. the torino is the best car in the whole ff4 movie

[bp240]

@gundam116 this is very true, but in the case of what 1994Andersen said about how the other villain cars werent much competition

[gundam116]

@bp240 fastrer isnt always better

[gr8oli]

im not a fan of fords but i realy like that turino if i would buy a ford mucle car i would buy a turino not the early mustangs they suck.

[bp240]

yeah this car is sick. dont underestimate the 350z from the third movie though. when all the cars were tested, the Z was actually the fastest of all the tokyo drift cars.
