This thing was a beast. Over 2000 horses if I rem right. The one they actually built. Not just what was said in the movie.

I believe all vehicles built for F&F use a basic Chevy 350. They pull the motors that come in the cars and put the same motors and transmissions in everything to make it easier to work on. I watched a show about it once and thought it was interesting.

You are correct. All of the cars have same engine and running gear so they can mass produce.

They all use the LS style of motors. I had forgot about that. Which in the flip cars in the 6th movie, there is a pretty good shot of the motor and you can clearly tell its an LS intake, but then later when the "gang" is back talking about those cars and trying to determine what they were. The say the motors were high revving import motors. Which was kind of funny to me, others I'm sure.
The charger I'm thinking of may have been built as a car for the movie but not in the movie. I just remember watching a video and reading about it. They were talking all about it and The Fast and Furious 7. Ill have to try and find it, it was a neat article and what all they did with the car was pretty cool.

There is an article about the car I was talking about. It is not the article I originally seen, however there are two videos after the text of the article. The first video is one of the videos I seen a while back. It says nothing about it being for the movie. I haven't watched the other video in its entirety yet so idk about that one. Its really mixed about the car, it talks about it being in the movie and then other stuff you see doesn't mention anything about it. So it may not have been in the movie. Still a badass ride though.

So my wife and I went and seen Furious 7 at the theater right when it came out. For whatever reason I just watched the trailer for it and the charger I am refering to is in the movie. It is at least in the final scene, I dont know if its in any other scenes. For whatever reason my stupid ass cant even remember it being in the movie at all. LOL.
