GENERAL LEE ◊ 2006-06-08 01:36	1968 Shelby Cobra Mustang GT-350 R ,not some stupid ford!
BeanBandit ◊ 2006-06-08 01:44	Drop "Cobra Mustang", too.
qwerty_86 ◊ 2006-06-08 05:36	The movie makers built a Mustang with the Skyline engine for this movie. If that's not enough, they tossed a giant coffee can exhaust on it too. What a way to ruin a classic American car. But from what I've heard, they used Mustangs with classic pushrod engines for the drift scenes since it produced the power where they wanted it (down low instead of up high).
calvin ◊ 2006-06-12 04:19	Oh.. I will do my best. First there was never a '68 Shelby GT350 R built. The Shelby GT350 R-Model was only built in 1965. That was the only year. The car in the picture is a 1967-68 Mustang with some Shelby-ized visual features. The '68 Shelby GT350 or GT500 both have a completely different front grill opening, valence, and hood than the same parts for a Mustang. That car appears to have all of those parts just plain old Mustang parts. There was no effort to build a fake Shelby like there was in "Gone in 60 Seconds".
Carfan ◊ 2006-06-15 16:31	I agree with qwerty_86 about how a skyline engine ruins a classic american car. But what can we do about it? It was for the movie anyway.
Explorer4X4 ◊ 2006-06-15 16:46	GENERAL LEE a écrit 1968 Shelby Cobra Mustang GT-350 R ,not some stupid ford! Ah! The Ford Mustangs were faster, more powerful and better looking then anything Shelby ever created!
antp ◊ 2006-06-15 18:00	As these Shelby cars were modified (tuned) Ford Mustang, I wonder how the Ford Mustangs could be more powerful than Shelby's cars At least not the standard Mustangs. -- Last edit: 2006-06-15 18:00:40
Explorer4X4 ◊ 2006-06-15 18:32	Shelby disigned the Mustang for Ford, he later left and then Ford put bigger engines in later on in the 70's.
KingCobra ◊ 2006-06-19 23:05	It was damn sacriledge to put that ricer engine in a beautiful American car. I can understand that yes, it would be rather hard to get your hands on a good 428CJ in Japan, but still....LoL
Skid ◊ 2006-07-03 10:39	It's a strange swap, alright. Not that it's a really bad motor, but it's kind of pointless, considering a big-inch Ford V8 is a much easier swap and will make more power and definitely more torque in the end.

Not that it's a really bad motor, but it's kind of pointless, considering a big-inch Ford V8 is a much easier swap and will make more power and definitely more torque in the end. As has been mentioned already, original Ford V8 engines of any description might be hard to come by in Japan. So they probably just stuffed something in it that was available to make it move for the movie.
Skid ◊ 2006-07-03 12:26	That was only in the story, though. The movie was an American production, and all the stunt cars actually used V8s. The reason for this swap basically came down to a screenwriter thinking it would be a good idea.

qwerty_86 ◊ 2006-07-05 09:32	Explorer4X4 a écrit Shelby disigned the Mustang for Ford, he later left and then Ford put bigger engines in later on in the 70's. No, the Mustang was Lee Iaccoca's idea. He eventually gave America the Kcar and the minivan. Shelby was a racer who modified cars. I wonder if the import crowd is as angry as the domestic crowd that they put the holy grail of Japanese motors into a classic American car.
hiergehts ◊ 2006-07-15 01:23	Explorer4X4 a écrit Shelby disigned the Mustang for Ford, he later left and then Ford put bigger engines in later on in the 70's. Not really.. With his success in developing the Shelby-Cobra in the early 1960's from the AC Ace using Ford V8 engines, Carroll Shelby was hired by Ford to go ahead and improve on their basic Mustang design and make it more capable of winning sports car races which would improve its image and appeal. His resulting Shelby GT350 and later Shelby GT500 were bought as partially completed Ford Mustang sportsroof models (aka fastback) from their regular production line(s) by Carroll Shelby's company in Los Angeles and specially modified by them to be sold as a series of limited production, high performace tuner cars of the 1960's. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelby_GT350 This Nissan powered Mustang could be called a "Ricestang" -- Last edit: 2006-07-15 01:25:30

salvation ◊ 2006-07-30 14:48	I like the general premise of the use of this mustang with the Nissan engine as the above pictures illustrate the car was nothing more than a rolling chassis. The 'good guys' needed a car to race the 'bad guys' yet all they had was a wrecked Nissan Silvia and the old mustang, its a neat plot device and since when did you expect realism from this franchise?
antp ◊ 2006-09-03 23:38	appassionato a écrit Three stars. Though it is only used in the end of the movie, I would give it four stars as it is heavily used, seen a lot, and quite important in that part of the movie.

armorroyal08 ◊ 2006-10-30 21:22	how dare they defile the mustang like that...skyline engine rock but it takes away from the muscle car image that the mustange gives...it makes me sad
Settpistol ◊ 2006-11-05 06:39	Think of it this way. it's a best-of-both-worlds hybrid. The mustang is an FR monster. Big engine,lots of low end,but the windsor up front would have made it want to nose over,and thus be undriftable. This car rocks,But i'd never do the job myself. 3/5.
Hecubus ◊ 2006-11-05 07:50	Except, weren't the stunt cars all powered by V8's? And would a Skyline engine (which has a turbocharger and intercooler and everything) weigh that much less than a small block V8?
Skid ◊ 2006-11-05 11:02	I would imagine the fully-turbo'ed Skyline engine would be heavier. The combination of overhead cams and inline cylinders combined with the turbos and plumbing is not the most space or weight efficient layout for an engine.
qwerty_86 ◊ 2006-11-06 06:01	Yeah, the stunt cars were V8s (more cost effective to leave the stock engine in since you don't see it in the scenes). I would think the V8 would be heavier than the Skyline engine. Doesn't the Skyline have an aluminum engine block? Anyways, on a drift car you want the weight to be in the front because you want the back end to slide out easier.
Skid ◊ 2006-11-06 19:51	The weight difference between an alluminum and iron engine block aren't really that great, especially not if the iron block has alluminum heads and intake. -- Last edit: 2006-11-06 19:52:53
HashiriyaGDB ◊ 2006-11-30 19:36	The stunt cars' had the 302 Windsor V8 (GO CANADA!!!).
T1g4h ◊ 2006-12-10 13:58	You know, oddly, I liked the RB swap... that engine sounds good, pretty mean for an Inline 6... aside from the coffee can exhaust, it wasn't that bad. Rims were a bit too big for my liking though.
carfan ◊ 2007-02-10 17:07	It's a 1967 model according to the Tokyo Drift movie website.
stpaulcarguy ◊ 2007-04-24 06:31	It's already been said enough times but im going to say it again. It was SO stupid to put a nissan motor in a beautiful peice of steel like that, it would have been less blasphemous to pop a chevy 350 in there. Not to mention the fact that they cracked it up, and dont even get me started on those dumbass rims. -- Last edit: 2007-04-24 06:34:07
BeanBandit ◊ 2007-04-24 12:50	Almost as bad as putting a Renault engine on Nissan Z, no, wait, they DID it!
shabanga69 ◊ 2007-05-16 18:25	Screw Renault and Nissan. All I care about is the American cars.
stpaulcarguy ◊ 2007-06-04 01:44	shabanga69 a écrit Screw Renault and Nissan. All I care about is the American cars. Amen brother.
skyline99 ◊ 2007-06-21 04:36	BTW, im an import, and muscle fan, i love the RB26DETT powerplant, but honestly, in an american muscle car?
stpaulcarguy ◊ 2007-07-06 03:41	I guess it is a plot device and you know what they say. . . . . necessity is the mother of invention.
Seven3Lee ◊ 2007-07-09 14:36	You people whining about the Nissan engine in the Mustang are sad. It's part of the movie, so get over yourselves. I drive an Evo 9, which was also in the movie dressed as an Evo VIII and bastardized to make it RWD so it could drift better. It's a movie, so I can understand how they could mess up a perfectly awesome car like they did. That doesn't mean I have to like it, but dear God will you people stop complaining! By the way, for those of you hating on the "import" cars, I found an interesting article over on Wikipedia... Ford Factory locations
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2007-07-09 19:49	But most of those factories don't make cars for the US market. -- Last edit: 2007-07-09 21:49:43
qwerty_86 ◊ 2007-07-10 06:21	Yeah. Ford makes cars for other countries besides the US.
Rebelbeauty ◊ 2007-07-19 03:04	Thats one hot car.
Skid ◊ 2007-08-12 13:31	Seven3Lee a écrit You people whining about the Nissan engine in the Mustang are sad. It's part of the movie, so get over yourselves. Do you even know what the phrase "get over yourselves" means? By using, you're suggesting that we're complaining because we have big egos, which is nonsensical. The phrase you mean to use is "get over it." And my answer is "no."
vilero ◊ 2008-04-24 12:22	Clear night view
Skid ◊ 2008-05-02 00:20	According to my most recent research, apparently an RB26DETT weights a whopping 200 pounds more than a cast iron Ford small block, and that's WITH cast iron heads. No wonder the stunt cars used the V8s.
tmsbrad ◊ 2008-05-15 22:16	This is not a Shelby, GT350, GT350R, or Cobra. It's just a Mustang fastback with Shelby scoops. Shelby Mustangs had wide taillights, a different hood, and a different grille. 1968 Mustangs had side marker lights between the front bumper and front wheel (http://forums.bradbarnett.net/gallery/showimage.php?i=6376&c=131). Compare to 1967: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/gallery/showimage.php?i=4304&c=123. I can't tell if the car in the photos above has the side markers. 1967 Shelby Photo Gallery: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/gallery/browseimages.php?c=121 1968 Shelby Photo Gallery: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/gallery/browseimages.php?c=130
Wasserspeier ◊ 2008-08-06 10:38	For some more information about this car I found this: www.edmunds.com A Nissan six may get the credit, but the stunts performed by this '67 in The Fast & the Furious: Tokyo Drift were V8-propelled In The Fast & the Furious: Tokyo Drift, the fiction is that the hero transplants the powertrain from a Nissan Skyline GT-R into an old Mustang in just one day so he can take on the Drift King that night and prove himself the greatest drifter of them all. In real life, five of the six Mustangs built by the Tokyo Drift production team had American V8s under their hood for reliable power production during filming. Nothing beats a big-inch American V8 when it comes to making power. Inside Line ultimately tested three of the surviving Ford Mustangs — the almost pristine car with the Nissan six and two equipped with 430-cubic-inch Ford Windsor V8s and four-speed "Toploader" manual transmissions. One of the V8 drift cars was clean and ready for show duty, while the other had been battered in every way, but ran strong. All of the Mustangs in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift had Global West suspension pieces and rack and pinion steering in common. And all three had 245/35R19 front and 275/35R19 rear Toyo Proxes T1R tires and Volk Racing Grey GT-7 wheels keeping them off the ground. However, the intercoolers and massive exhaust tips on the V8 Mustangs were just cosmetic; the exhaust actually exited through Magnaflow mufflers forward of the rear axle. While the Nissan-powered Mustang responded to a light touch, the muscle-era power plants and transmissions demanded some beating — a sledgehammer would have come in handy. And while the six-cylinder Mustang idled smoothly, the V8 drift cars seemed to be shaking themselves into a puddle of their constituent molecules. Dip into the throttle on either V8 machine, however, and the engine would roar like a startled lion. A six-cylinder turbo engine may match a V8 in measured performance, but it will never have the charisma of a V8. With at least 375 horsepower on tap, the V8 Tokyo Drift Mustangs could spin their tires with ease — and would, no matter what. The beaten and battered Mustang got to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds and consumed the quarter-mile in 14.7 seconds at 96.7 mph. For a drift car built to bash into other cars while wagging its tail violently, that's not bad. In fact, there was so much power on tap that evem the drag slicks fitted to the car for the test spun without getting much traction. So while those performance figures are solid, they couldn't match the Skyline-powered Mustang that had enough torque, but not so much as to overwhelm the tires. Beyond that, the dent-free version of the 1967 Ford Mustang blew its fuel pump and was unable to make a complete quarter-mile pass. So in this case at least, for once the six-cylinder Mustang was quicker than the V8-powered version. -- Last edit: 2008-08-11 17:07:31
wasserspeier ◊ 2008-09-03 22:51	One of the Mustangs used in the movie (with Nissan engine) can be found on Ebay: Current bid $45100 Fast and Furious Mustang
audicrazy ◊ 2008-11-21 21:13	its ashame that after all that hard work, it gets ruined in the end.
holden nut ◊ 2009-07-06 08:45	why would they drop a RB26 skyline engine into a mustang? that's crazy!
CRAFT372 ◊ 2009-09-17 12:46	Finely and good old school Ford Mustage instead of one of those awful looling new Knight Rider KITT Ford Mustang that look like they are high on Steroids i must say that this was the best car in the whole movie and 1960 American Muscle Car that handles like a Japanese import but has the old school American 1960s se this is how all cars shoud be built like just imagine a Car that looks like a 1960s but handels like a brand new Subaru yeah just imagine
