Letty's 240SX survived the movie, and several new owners after the movie until another new owner bought the car.

Love these videos. SR20 swaps were pretty rare in the early 00's. I still remember seeing my first S13 SR-swapped video. It was a red hatch that was blowing away every car it raced. By Aug 2004 I bought my white S13 hatch for $750 with a barely running engine. Just an F.Y.I. it was Bimmerforums. BMW cars are called Bimmers. BMW motorcycles are Beamers.

@@ACommenterOnKZfaq Just as I suspected. Either CA or FL. It was very rare outside of those two states at the time. The JDM importers setup shop in thode 2 states for obvious reasons. The red 240 I cited in my original post was from FL. I'm 46. I went through it from the beginning. Here in Maryland, they were very rare. SR swaps were pretty expensive, too, due to all the parts needed to get one running in the US chassis. Front clips were much more preferred. I joined 240SX-specific forums in early 2004 and distinctly remember how few of the members had SR swaps. Why? Because I needed to do a swap in my 240 because I bought it with a blown engine.

Great explanation at the end! It’s the greed of movie production companies why the fast movies are not about cars anymore. We diehard car enthusiasts are such a small group of viewers compared to the rest of the world. It doesn’t make as much money when it’s solely about the cars. So, sadly there will never be another movie strictly about cars.
