lol!! Yup! I’m more of a ford historian then chevy
But I’ve wanted a 59 M&M since I was a kid... I found a 1960 hearse many many years ago that needed a lot of work, and started researching what I needed for a donor car to make the rear, and front end accurate
Car was crushed..
I highly agree the audience isn’t suppose to realize what works in real world
But being raised in a garage, I always judge right away at what can and can not be done “what’s real”
This is why I think the fast and the furious movies are all a joke (minus Tokyo drift that’s the only good one)
Nothing I love more then real cars doing real stunts..
My speciality is getting drag cars to hook, to transplant the power geometry wise to the ground. I’m very good friends with some very fast professionals (some on tv shows) and learned all the tricks from them
So to see a 5100lb vehicle.. heck probably heavier now with all the hydraulics, and props on the roof.. and all new suspension..
Come racing around that corner.. totally amazing
I am DYING to see the underside of this car.. dying to see it! Has to have some kind of new trail arm, 3 link, panhard bar setup...
Heck, look at when it slides at the end, see how far that white wall tire stretches?! I’ve watched it over and over and AMAZED the tire didn’t break off the bead.. white walls are known to be floaty and balloony.. can’t imagine the feeling behind the wheel trying to pull that off..
Absolutely love that scene
