Fast 9 Charger spotted

[JR]

Its pretty wicked. Built by Soeedkore. Mid engine, wide body, halibrand style wheels, and it's a 68.

I'll post more as I can find it.

Looks trick.

I wonder how the stunt car builds vary from the hero cars.  Are they running a dummy mockup engine in the backseat and the usual LS3 crate motor under the hood?  

The stunt car doing the 180 in that clip was pulling away like it was pretty lightweight.  Probably got the same Speedkore CF skin panels as the heroes.

Unless they use a toronado transaxle, I don't see how you can make a midengine Charger.  Sharp looking 68 though.  Hope it survives

The fiberglass kit car market has been doing mid-engine V8 setups for decades.  It's familiar territory.  

A few years ago the 'Need for Speed' movie (not very good) needed cheaper knockoffs of several expensive modern supercars.  They came up with a standardized LS V8 drivetrain to use in all the mid-engine models.  Bugatti Veyrons, Lambos, etc.  If the Furious#9 Chargers have mid-engine stunt cars then that setup would be my first guess.  


BTW, the new C8 Corvette is mid-engine (it's confirmed).   Once those cars start showing up at salvage auctions . .  . we're in for some mid-engine V8 muscle car builds in the next few years.

Mid engine?  I just HAVE to see that setup.  BTW the first wrecked C8 corvettes are starting to make the internet...

Found some more pictures showing a better look of the mid-engine setup.

Man that's wild...

I also see a stretched wheelbase.  The front wheels/wheelwells are moved forward.  Gas filler is moved (or maybe missing) too. 


What's between the driver and the engine?  No firewall, barely any rollbar tubing . . . Seems unnecessarily dangerous for a stunt car. 

I would be surprised if they have real mid-engine setups in any of the movie cars that get driven.   It would be so much safer & easier to drop a hollow plastic display engine in the backseat and keep using their familiar LS3 crate drivetrain under the hood.

If you're in to this sort of nonsense -

I see three more Chargers in the lot at top of picture  Looks like one does not have anything over the motor

If you're in to this sort of nonsense

Muscle cars have always been immature nonsense, period.

Loud engines.  Bright colors.  Cartoon characters.
