The data you’ll read here is the very best data we have. I was personally friends with each of the owners of the original cars that served as the “Hero” cars, the model from which the clones were replicated.īefore publishing my book (Crashing Cars), I took time to speak to each one of them personally to verify the data.

A lot has been written on the internet over the years about the Fast and Furious car specs.
