I saw Gina corner a Muay Thai fight in Vegas at Master Toddys Gym back in 2008... I was a fan of hers before that fight took place. I could hear her telling her fighters to block strikes with their elbows and knees to injury the other person, very dirty. Fast forward a few years later she is an MMA 'star' who is suppose to be the 'face of womens MMA' (what about Kim Couture as her replacement? oh yeah she got owned and only used/uses her ex-husbands last name) but lost in BRUTAL fashion to Chris Cyborg who based on skill should permanently be the face of womens mma. Chris Cyborg would destroy all of us and a good number of UFC lightweights IMO, especially if it is a kickboxing/Muay Thai match. Miesha Tate and Marloes Coenen are fighting on the co-main event next week @ Strikeforce:Fedor vs Henderson on Showtime. IMO they are better looking and significantly better fighters both standing and on the ground.

If you dont know who Kim Couture is now you do: http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Kim-Couture-33216 and http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/7/22...-choke-referee

Sorry for the rant I just have a profound love of Muay Thai and then MMA.

and he got behind the wheel of a Mitsu before that.

*I also think at this point in time Gina would beat him in an MMA fight even if it was in Japan with open weight and PrideFC rules.

Ow, hated to see the Evo 4 grinding around on its side like that. But that sure was a good looking car in the chase. Loved the handbrake turns.

Wow. First Steven Soderbergh makes a real movie starring Sasha Grey, and now he's got a movie with Gina Carano driving an Evo!

This guy is pushing 50, but is still in touch with his inner 15-year-old. *high five*

You cannot do a J-turn with the SST gearbox...Reverse hardly like to disengage while at a stop. Maybe they swapped it out and just left the paddles

Haywire Cars Missing?

Does anyone know what happened to the cars? A friend at Mitsubishi just told me one of the producers sold two (?) on eBay when they still belonged to Mitsubishi! It's a big scandal now in his office.

Apparently a dealer discovered one of the missing cars when it went in for service (it had no airbags and was painted nonstock color, etc.). It was supposed to be kept for promoting the film. This won't end well.

It will be interesting to see if you all know where these cars went.

Nice to see Evos in the theater. The movie looks pretty interesting! Also, I am fairly certain that it is an MR.

Money says it's an MR on the outside, but we see shifting on the inside. Just my guess.
