Yeah...they're just for fun, Blur...try not to take them so seriously.
lol
I mean, you gotta know the target audience for these movies (no offense to you older cats that watch em) is the adolescent and teen crowd that don't have a car yet, but dream at night of having a uber-drift car with giant Japanese Pokemons on the side and have Initial D posters all over their rooms.
I think maybe the symbolism of the 65 Mustang with the RB26 Skyline Engine was intended in an off-color way to appeal to the import kids that hate on domestics as a bastardization of something american, by putting a very popular Japanese engine in it....of course I could be wrong.
In any case...I
would stay and talk more about the subject, but unfortunately I have to go resolve my
own conflict with some Japanese gangbangers and run a drift/slalom to-the-death, down a big mountain to regain the respect of my Asian lady-friend and her Yakuza father.
See ya later!
