Except 9000lbs is nowhere near the 'ten tons' (not even including the contents) mentioned in the movie. Someone did the actual calculations, and while it seems possible to get the vault moving, it's not going anywhere fast, probably not even outside of the building.

In Fate of the Furious, going in reverse, there was 2 shifters in the car if you freeze when he shifts into reverse. This is because it was a combination tractor transmission with reverse on the second, meaning you could pull full speed in reverse with that particular car, but with ZERO synchronation. SNAP! goes the driveshaft

[@69hytek]

As a mechanic I knew this was gonna be brutal. The absolute cherry on the cake for me was the wheelie burnout in the snow on street tires.

If I'm not mistaken the vault scene was partly done for real, obviously not with a real vault, but in parts these Charges were actually hauling a relatively heavy block, that was actually thrown against that glass building.

The vault was actually a car with a vault built around it for the non-destructive shots. Dude inside basically had to drive through a tiny peep hole.

The Evo going really fast in reverse, it's totally a super unique build there they used the Variomatic gearbox from an old DAF 66 or Volvo 340 as you could get them with the DAF gearbox. :P Basically it was a belt driven drivetrain with cones on each end, the faster you went, the belt would move on the cones, one problem though! while that gearbox meant that the DAF or Volvo had the same top speed in reverse as going forward, it also meant it only had 3 gears pretty much, Neutral, Drive, and Reverse, no 16 speed gearbox. :P

[@markkNL]

We used to have "reverse" races with I think old DAF cars, which had just a switch to put it into reverse and then you had the same gears as forward.

[@VancePetrol]

my favourite part of the Cuban Mile race is the scene afterwards where some children appear out of nowhere and run up to Dom right as he gets up. Just so he can pick one up and be seen holding it while the rest of them look up at him in awe, which convinces Lertty to forgive him. Then the movie interupts his jesus moment and he's like "Ope.. that's right!" and he quickly puts the child down and they immediately go back to being very cool and serious, with the children dissapearing sometwhere in between cuts. I actually think the Toretto family is cursed by infernal magics that like give them ghostrider like powers, but instead of the Penance Stare making you experience the pain and suffering you've inflicted on others, Dom's stare makes you truly understand the importance and meaning of family.

5:17 it’s not mentioned anywhere in the film exactly what model of Eclipse it is.

Akhchually... I've done the Burnout-Wheelie myself. On a dirt bike, but that proves the physics. What you need is enough torque instantaneously, which makes the wheel slip first, because its rotatoinal inertia is lower than the bike's. Then you need to still put enough power to the ground through the slipping wheel (which is definitely possible, because slipping fricting may be lower than gripping friction, but still significant) to lift the front. It works repeatably.

@Max Power I'm not defending the scene. I know there's no way he was popping a wheelie and spinning out at the same time.

The film was still in theaters when I saw it and it was obviously produced for hype but to fabricate a complete lie on how the scene was shot is pretty dirty.

I had a 4cyl Fox Body mustang that blew the motor and I drove it like 4 miles to the repair shop..

[@TheNitroG1]

yeah despite what they said it is possible to blow a hole in the side of the engine and it keep running...but at that speed just the loss of power would probably cause an uncontrollable skid. that is if the imbalance of the missing parts doesn't cause the engine to rip itself to pieces. I would also assume you would be hemorrhaging oil. I feel like they went too dramatic on the damage it would have been a believable situation to have the engine have a little misfire or something then dom decide to go all or nothing and have something more catastrophic go wrong. Hell I think it would have been more exciting if they had a story beat where he had put too large of a shot of NOS in there not knowing if it would tear the engine apart and have it break the motor mounts sending the engine into the ground at 150mph and the whole car doing a front flip. Something better than slamming into the side of a semi truck that would have been like hitting a brick wall.

@@Stevo_1998 I was wondering if it’s just a skill issue, but you answered my question. I wonder why it’s so unstable compared to front steeeing

[@alexisrivera200xable]

@@TheOfficialOriginalChad Its unstable because with rear steering the back swings out and the center of the front axle becomes the pivot point. For example, if you try to turn too much too fast with a front steering car the back loses traction and swings out right? Same would happen on a rear steering car just by turning the wheel a few inches which is rather difficult to control at relatively low speeds but downright impossible at highway speeds. In practice you would only turn the wheel an inch or two at most to make a turn in a similar manner than a front steering car any more and you would oversteer in most situations. It's great for driving in warehouses where you need far more maneuverability than raw speed to manipulate cargo with a forklift on small spaces but that turning ability is inherently unstable at higher speed. Now for the sake of argument you could make a car with rear steering but it would suck, the wheels would only turn a few degrees at most in order to remain stable and raising the driving difficulty a ton for no practical benefit to the driver.

[@thesillypig785]

I've driven rear steering machines and yes it's odd at first. But the Thrust SSC landspeed vehicle was also rear steer so it can work at high speeds.

10:00 What i figured back when i saw this movie, was that they had 2 cars, one with a regular transmission, and one with effecitvely a tramission in reverse, or one that was RWD only with a reversing gear on the differential somewhat like a gearsplitter transmission

[@johncox9868]

I have to call out the mechanics. My car popped an engine warning and when I plugged in the ODB-II module it was the manifold valve. It even told me which one. You could hook up a laptop to the ODB-II port and report the errors on the laptop instead of just a generic engine warning. The manifold warning on the laptop is actually plausible.

[@BruceCarbonLakeriver]

It is kind of, in terms of overboost (or air temp). But you need to determine beforehand that the manifold is the weakling. No one is running a full OBDII during racing you actually can't do sht and the stages actually doesn't make any sense. The scene is like the dude is kinda finishing the tune up during racing more like doing a "controlled race" as it might to have to appear. It is bogus. ^^

The Terradyne Gherka? The Rock has one of those? I mean, it would simultaneously surprise me and not surprise me if he did. It's essentially either an F550 or F650 (I believe both were used) as the base and then build an urban armored carrier over it. I know they were big for awhile with Canada as that's where Terradyne is located and their targeted market ended up being law enforcement SWAT, but then other things came around and they got sold off. So I don't know if you can necessarily buy one from Terradyne today or if there are many still on the used market, but it'd be a fairly unique vehicle to be trundling around it. I mean it's a literal armored transport vehicle intended for SWAT law enforcement, which was a demotion from the original plans of it being a military Armored Personnel Carrier. Like it lost out to the General Dynamics Stryker, so it being one of the runners up, and being relegated to law enforcement SWAT, but built for active military duty. . . . it's kind of overspeced to be dropping the kids off to soccer practice.

Ironman became what he was because we got to know his story from the beginning, John Wick was what he was because that's what we've been told about his past. Meanwhile in F&F, any character just wakes up from the dead, a bunch of thieves are better than black ops agents, damn Mia Torreto is fighting off Swat or whatever alone 🤣🤣 and don't get me started on any scene involving cars.
