10. Nissan 350Z from Tokyo Drift
The Z car usually comes with a simple drivetrain – torquey six-cylinder engine mounted in the nose and power sent to the rear. The 2003 350Z is no different, offering the ubiquitous 3.5-liter VQ35DE V-6 for inspiration. Equipped with CVTCS (Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System), this unit makes 287 horsepower and 274 pound-feet of torque.A team of specialists tested the car and estimated that it makes a 0-to-60 time of 5.7 seconds and a run through the quarter mile in 13.2 seconds at 114.8 mph. This in addition to a better launch control will make it possible to break into the 12s for the 1,320. So to put it context, the customized Z is several tenths quicker to 60 and about 1.5 seconds quicker in the quarter mile than a standard Z.
So the high price - $232,725 to be more precise – is really understandable taking into account that car appeared in the third ‘Fast & Furious’ in addition to the extensive list of extras it features. The Z is even more expensive than the Toyota Supra that Paul Walker raced with during the first ‘Fast & Furious’, which was put on sale for only $185,000. But then Walker’s car was more of a set piece, while what counts here more is the real deal under the hood.
11. R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R
A number of GT-Rs were also prepped for the movie, and while most of them were completely wrecked, Paul Walker’s hero R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R is listed as the only that’s fully working. The R34 Skyline is geared with the legendary RB26 twin-turbocharged straight-six engine, driving all four wheels to the tune of 550 horsepower. Its cracking power comes with universal kitted-out Walker’s GT-R with a Turbonetics intercooler, Volk racing wheels, Nismo NE-1 exhaust and lowering springs body mods, a custom head-up display, etc.
