Default Big Red in the new Fast and Furious?

I saw this picture on Jalopnik...see anything familiar in the background?

Anyone know about this?

Big Red?

Who Cares?





Check out at that sweet Maxima in the foreground!




Ha Ha Yes, I have heard that Big Red as well as The F-Bomb are both in the movie. That definately adds to the car pornography factor.

The one trailer I have seen has a very V8 sounding GN getting smashed by a rig. Movie still looks cool though. I hated the second one. The third was cool except the dumb drifting scenes when they are on the date and what not. First one was fun.

watched the first one out of morbid curiosity much like scoping out any train wreck... didn't bother thereafter. That said, if BR and F-bomb are in it I might have to go to the scene of another crime yet again

at the optima challenge RJ (the owner of big red) comfirmed that it was in the movie, not sure if they made replicas for any driving scenes but he said that his car was just used for "scenery" and the plot is that is some bad guys car.

Nice, some real hero cars. I hope they get the respect they deserve in the movie.

According to David there is no need to shed a tear for the cars that were used to build the clones of the FBomb...They were in incredibly bad shape to start with.
