Default Shelby Cobra Concept to star in new XXX movie

Looks like Ice Cube is our new "XXX".... soemhow this movie fails to excite me.

Anyhow so I guess:
XXX¹=GTO/GM
XXX²=Cobra/Ford

Trailer with Cobra here
http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/triplex2/

Shelby Cobra Concept...not Mustang Cobra.

It looks like the Goat still has the major role though....I kind of dug the flip-down front fenders that exposed the weaponry. Looks like the Goat is SOM in this one too.

Xzibit is in it....why didn't they make him the main character? That would have been cool!

The first movie wasn't that great and destroying a C5 'vert just for entertainment purposes was so not cool. I doubt the sequel will be any better.

You know, I like poor pot action movies, but I'm really starting to HATE rob cohen.

That punk destroyed...

F&F: 69 Charger
XXX: A few GTO's (I read n HPP that they left bunch of GTO's over there)
Last Ride: Judge GTO

This guy is the leader in destroying classic muscle cars campaign.

This is really starting to **** me off

Do you honestly believe that they destroy real classics and not mock-ups made to look like them? That Charger in F&F didn't even have a real blower on it.

Yeah I just saw the trailer while at the theatre to see Blade. From what I understand, they asked Vin to do the sequel and he turned them down. This movie looks lik eit is going to blow. I don't have much faith in Ice Cube after Anaconda and Ghosts of Mars.

He was in that movie too?! No wonder it sucked so bad. I saw the previews for it when I saw Spider-man 2 and everyone thought it was so gay.

I agree, Ice Cube is not that great of an actor. I think his best roll was in Boys in the hood. And that was about it.

As for Vin, He did do the Sequel to Pitch Black....Which was ok. Could have been better.
I think in the trailer the only other car I saw was a silver something that was about 1 sec worth of film of it. It looked good though. But The GTo does look to still be the leading car in this roll....
