The 1500HP F-Bomb Camaro in Fast and The Furious 4
Posted by: | CommentsAnyone who subscribes to Hot Rod magazine will instantly recognize this 1973 Chevrolet Camaro as the “F-Bomb:” a 1,500-horsepower, twin-turbocharged fiend built by editor in chief David Freiburger as an experiment in how radically a car can be modified and still be used as a regular street-bound commuter. And, as the experiment turned out, it’s a lot easier to build something truly radical than it is to build something both truly radical and tame enough for daily duty.
Painted in flat olive drab, F-Bomb was one legendary street machine that picture car coordinator Dennis McCarthy was sure to put before the eyes of Fast & Furious director Justin Lin and the film’s producers. After all, it looked seriously evil, it was already famous in the hot-rodding world and it made sense for a particular role in the movie.
