You're just seeing it now????
Why did you deny yourself so long?

I tell you, get the big screen humming, Dolby Digital on full and it will take your breath away.
Plus I got to see alot of the filming when they were at the Molson Indy here in Toronto. It was pretty crazy seeing this HUGE IMAX ( another CDN. invention ) camera bolted to an Indy car.

This is a must in anyones DVD library!

Alright I'm convinced.

Also, it sure is nice, definitely makes it easier. But I still don't have an S2000 like you guys


I gotta also buy Full Throttle 2, Evos vs Imprezas. Now that's a match up.

It's great and since it's DVD, you can be selective about what parts you watch repeatedly. I like the spinout and race parts myself.

I have a 59", 1600-line screen and a surround sound system. My neighbors know when I'm playing this (even though I live in a single dwelling, not an apartment) and one of them sometimes comes over! It's also a big hit at my parties.

I say it in Vancouver during the 97 Molson Indy. Great Movie. It shoud only be seen in IMAX

When I went to the track on Saturday, I asked a track worker for directions to our seats. As I was speaking to her, Greg Moore pulls up on his scooter, he wanted to be let through a gate.

I said, "Hey! You're Greg Moore!" He said "no I'm not" and sped off.
