Hey Im just wondering since the movie fast and the furious used cars that people volunteered to bring in. Well maybe I thinking for the filming of the 2nd movie, why dont some of you Californian NSX owners bring your NSX down there and see if you can get your car in the movie!!

Fast and the Furious would be awesome with a NSX in it.

Maybe mynsx or dave try getting in, maybe you guys can get your car in the film.
 
For the ability to sell it on ebay afterward for over 100K, I sure as hell would. Not only do they pay you to use it, but you could sell it for huge profit afterward. Then you can use that money to buy a brand new one if you like. Chances are it would sell for enough to even pick up the next gen NSX when it arrives. I'd take that deal in a heartbeat.

In addition, getting your car into a major role in a film is pretty cool. Hell... I'm still trying to get mine into the porno next door.

BTW- There are actually quite a few NSXs that showed up at various auditions for the movie.

I was thinking the same thing and wondered why there weren't any NSX's (okay all you folks that own the DVD, maybe there was ONE) in the movie, so I ventured over to the NIRA (National Import Racing Association) website since they were involved in the movie project and found their 'eligable vehicles' list- and didn't see the NSX anywhere on it. Now this list of course are all the vehicles allowed to race at NIRA events and is not directly related to the movie. But I also heard that the filmmakers wanted to keep the movie as 'realistic' as possible and since they were working with some NIRA people, that maybe one reason why the NSX was left out. Just my two cents.
 
Supposedly someone (on this list I believe) did get there car in the movie but it was edited out.

I heard there were NSX shots in the extra footage but don't have the disk on me anymore.

Anyone been through the extra footage that can confirm?

There was an NSX in the extra footage. I think it was in the behind the scenes.
 
dude, I'd rather not have the nsx in the fast and the furious, it would probably only lead rich unintelligent people to buy nsx's and ruin them.
 
Why would anyone in their right mind edit our an NSX? I'd rather see an NSX cruising/racing than some Civic with 4 bottles of Nitrous

i belive one of the actors in the movie has a NsX himself ...i remember seeing a photo of him standing with his custom painted candy apple red nsx on some import site...he is the asian kid in the big street race that say's " damm that cars fast !! "

Yeah that's RJ DeVera. His nsx is a junker, I believe it has been in a few accidents.

Hey guys you were refering about Miami,the place the movie is gona be film ?
 
I heard that one of the main charactors (the bad guy) is going to be driving an NSX. Can any one confirm that?

If that's the case, there would be a lot less questions like "What kind of car is it?... a Corvette?"

I'll bet the price of NSXes will go up a little after the movie release, with a higher demand too.

The flip side is that we'll have to worry about getting stop by police for no front plates, modified exhaust, tinted windows....

Doesn't that happen anyway? I don't see how the movie would affect law enforcement.

In reference to your inquiry we flew at 100 mph+ out to the casting in Cali and the casting people want to see the car w/ a widebody or "nothing" they asked for pics and we created a website/promo pic paks/purchased domain names and mailed these to the contacts in Cali.It looks like the only "true" competition is the orange NSX we I've seen posted online "great body" the paint quality leaves a lot to be desired.We are wide bodying this week and it's 30 days till casting closing.
Theres also a movie called Hot Wheels coming (by Paramount Pictures)we are optomistic about the entry to that casting so far so good.

Hi

There sure was an NSX in the behind the scenes footage, in fact it was in three places but of probably the same car.
It was a black hardtop manual raced by an cute asian and her friend, it was on the strip with a 200sx or something, the X beat it beat easily but they didnt show you times or much more info, shame.
 
Hey guy FF2 is looking for NSX's S2000's .. When we went to the casting call that is what they were saying.. Gerry's NSX and RJ's NSX was there and 2 others one with a group m supercharger and the JTCC nsx the bright orange one... So they are llooking for NSX but I think all the casting call are over now. In FF one they had a nsx in I know of and Gerry's NSX was in a back drop from one of the scene in the race war's part I don't know how good you can see it but it is there. as for anymore info on this movie i do not know
 
I really hope the NSX isn't in FF2... it'll just ruin the image of our cars.
If they show the NSX on a road course, that would be cool, but most likely it will be a boulevard pimping deal... Its gonna suck. Pride for owning my NSX would be hurt...
 
their was indeed an NSX blk in the bonus footage on the dvd I rented that was in the making of section.it showed outtakes of all the racers that showed up to film the race wars segment.the nsx was drag racing a 300zx I believe and the nsx was driven by a asian girl btw she smoked the other car
