someone needs to be shot

How to build a 10 second car:
1. body kit
2. aluminum wing
3. high-end stereo equipment
4. graphic kit
5. underbody neon lights

Eddie Paul must drive a Civic. :thumbsdown

I thought ricers were on the decline, now there's a step by step guide. This is just great.

As long as I followed the rules, my review should be posted within three days...

Or you could do it right...

If you want to build a sport compact car that only looks fast and furious, buy this book, but the general consensus among those who actually own and modify these cars for true performance is that following these ideas is a slap in the face to true performance enthusiasts. Of the modifications addressed by this book in the description, only a nitrous system actually contributes to making a faster car. The rest is merely fluff that will get you laughed at. The Fast and the Furious was a highly entertaining movie to watch, but if you really want to go fast, you owe it to yourself to find a book titled 'Maximum Boost' by Corky Bell.

Also recommended: Maximum Boost by Corky Bell

:thumbsup

god i wonder how many kids bought that book

book says, how to build cars of the fast and the furious. not how to build a 10 sec. car. sure it ricey, but no where in there do I see it claim that these are all performance oriented "upgrades". so if you want your car to LOOK like the ones in Fast and the Furious, then this book will help.

Not really defending the book, just preventing people from going on there and making themselves look foolish by bashing the book as a "performance guide" while not really reading what the book is all about.

it's great if you want to customize your car, but at least try to be original about it, instead of copying a movie many people just laugh at.

Uhh... the book is "Licensed by Universal Studios" or w/e it was... they aren't copying the idea off the movie... it's made by the people that made the movie. The movie was a major hit and it is a smart move for them to release this book...

However, it just makes me want to cry. :'(

im not saying the book is copying ideas of the movie, im saying that the people that buy the book and build those cars exactly like the ones in the movies are copying them. don't get sassy with me

Oh... ok... i agree with your point then. ;)

i wonder if it includes websites where you can find fake bov's and the thing that goes in your exhaust to make it sound like a turbo spooling, maybe even how to swap a skyline engine into a 2gnt or how to polish your home depot cai for that right out of the movie look
