Born to race

So I was flipping thru Netflix the other night and came across this move. "Born to race". I've never heard of this movie before. Wasn't bad though, main guy drives an 04 STi. He does 9sec with the stock TMIC!!! If your cruzing for a entertaining movie check it out! Here's the beginning.

It was really hit and miss. Acting was ok but with unknown actors. They tried to be realistic, but they really didn't.

All and all, evil dude drives a black 2011 5.0 mustang and the good guy an 04 white sti

I think you should have a DISCLAIMER: this movie is about drag racing teenagers.

The only redeeming quality of the F&F franchise is the huge budgets and special effects. This movie is the same, except it has neither of those things and is focused on an angry teenager. It's an after-school special. But it has Subaru, so I watched it anyway.

they put the 04/05 front end on it because thats what the director wanted. If i remember correctly its an 06.
I was talking with the driver at Capitol Subaru when they did a norther cali promo a few months back.
