Fast and furious 6 Daytona

[1966hemi]

Too expensive for the producers. They would rather install cheapo Chevy engines in them.

[200MPH]

your probably right... sucks though

[mauve66]

The damn thing pulls a wheelie!!!  "Your nosecone is not working!"

Or the wing is set for too much downforce in the rear!
The fact that it probably has at least 25 forward gears and an infinate supply of "NOS" on board helps too....

those aero guys section are turning green with envy over that wheelie .........................

[Ghoste]

It makes me turn green. 

[DC_1]

Still don't know if I am sold on the colour choice...

A more vibrant PRN Viper Red would have looked better IMO

[pettybird]

I bought the movie poster for like $25 on ebay... 2 sided, 27x40.  Daytona on both sides.

[chargerman69]

They use chevy 350's cause there smaller and easy to fix fast, they said it before on a show about the FF car builds

[68bluegts]

I wonder how many 68/69 donor cars were wrecked for this movie??

[Indygenerallee]

I found a page (believe Jalopnik.com) and the "Daytona" has a LS3 Chevy engine and they stated the whole front clip is only held on with a couple clips that way they have multiple front ends on standby for wrecks, makes sense now why they grafted the fenders into the nose, really easy to change both fenders and nosecone in a few minutes. I still think they could have picked a better color! I guess it's good for the Mopar hobby even if it is a "Supertona" 

[pettybird]

LS3 crate=430HP.  That's more motor than I'd thought they would install!

"Eleanor" Mustang was badass because it was today's version. Not yesterday's. Same with this Daytona. only reason it IS a Daytona is because that is one of the choices on your Laptop GT Game. Had to happen sooner or later. Will it drive prices up? Prolly not. look at the 1970 Chargers. Only thing I see driving up Charger pricing is the owners of Chargers. No kids today will be able to afford a "wing car" because they saw it in a movie. We have the pres. to thank for that. they will be working until they freaking die just to make that overpriced house payment that bank shoulda never lent them the money on.

No more "boomers" with money to burn...Ever. only filthy rich and well, just filthy poor.

There ya go, blaming the President for your problems....

 I was reading an article by topgear and apparently there was only 1 daytona made... ""A lot of the cars for the Fast & Furious movies we build ourselves, from scratch. For example, the Dodge Daytona in Fast 6 started as a rust-bucket; a $5,000 car that we pared down, sandblasted and rebuilt.""

As for the engines  ""For most of the cars that we build - the Daytona, Jensen, flip cars, Mustangs, stunt cars - we ran with a 500bhp Chevy LS3 V8 motor. And all the cars used this same motor, transmission and differential, so everything was interchangeable." Dennis pauses, as if to pre-empt my next question. "Believe me, 500bhp is more than enough for what we're doing, but yes, we do have the occasional hero cars that we've sourced from friends or that we've rented. The white Mustang you see is actually an 850bhp car, and the hero car in this movie is running close to 600bhp.""

""We have the Dodge Daytona, basically the NASCAR version of the Charger you see in all the other films, which is for the character Dom. Dom also drives a Hemi-powered 1970 Barracuda""

dom also has a cuda!... which probably also gets destroyed.... F**K

[tan top]

  not a hemi block either  , looks like a wedge block & fuel pump   no cross bolted mains

[Baldwinvette77]

It's probably a plastic mock-up replica anyway

My niece is on spring break down in Orlando this week and was at Universal studios over the weekend and took a couple of pictures for her "favorite" uncle!
Here she is standing by the F&F Daytona and even snapped a pic of the display plaque with the car. Info says it has a 6.4 crate motor, viper 6-speed and Moser 9" rear. Also claims a RMS front and rear suspension!

Good eye TT.....also looks like a 2 nipple 383 fuel pump.

That's funny.  I got to the blue plug wires and figured it was a crate engine that they'd borrowed...

so at least it didn't get destroyed this time

They did use coil over kits in the front of the charger is fast five, maybe they carried it over, and slide brakes are a given, but the rest is most likely BS 

[mauve66]

she should of popped the hood to verify

[Daytona Guy]

I knew there was something wrong with the front end - maybe this was already brought up - but they shortened the fenders and the hood - The pseudo HEMI is a 440 block - look at the motor mount casting ??

Dane

[Daytona Guy]

They must have sectioned it back to the radiator support. He hood is a dead giveaway.

[hotrod98]

Looks like they shortened the car by about a foot. Looks a lot better than I would have thought. There was a car in one of the magazines a few years ago that had been shortened at the front and the rear. Seems like it was a Charger. Just remember that it looked pretty good.
I would like to see this car in person so that I could take better pics to help when I shorten my fenders and hood on my Daytona clone that I'm starting on. They might have used a fiberglass hood but I'll just shorten my steel hood. I'll have to shorten my steel nose some as well. I'll extend the fenders down instead of using a valance like the original Daytona version and then just build a center valance panel similar to the one on my bird. I don't plan to weld the nose to my fenders though. Doesn't look good in my opinion. Plus it's a pain to disassemble later.
