Default Fast 8?

Hey Brian,

I saw this pop up the other day and thought the similarities are just undeniable.

http://www.autoblog.com/2016/07/25/1...rvette-fast-8/

So whats the story with this? Is your car the actual hero car or is this just a bad copy of yours? I assumed they were copying at first (imitation is the highest form of flattery right??), but then remembered that your Camaro was in either 6 or 7, so I thought there might be a connection there.

Either way pretty cool to see those two worlds touch, and however it happened congrats on inspiring Hollywood!!

Well, the Camaro was in movie 5 or 6 at the end so I'm sure, or would hope, they decided to use his vette this go around. Just a guess.

The FF series likes to use actual cars that people have built. Meanwhile, Transformers likes to just rip off people's actual cars without even asking or giving any notice or props to those people.

My Corvette was used to create 4 replica Corvettes for Fast 8. The original car was not harmed in this process That can not be said for the real Corvettes that were made to look like mine.

The car is going to be Letty's (Michelle Rodriguez) car in New York. There are going to be some exciting scene involving the replica Corvettes. I am excited to see how it all comes out.

So both of your cars ended up in fast and the furious movies. Congrats, that's unbelievable. That'll be really cool to see.
