Could be, but I would think it would be different. Either way one of the coolest cars ever.  :drool:

Cool car but everytime I see it; it reminds me of a 71' Torino back half with a Pontiac front half grafted together.

 I cannot wait to see it along with the Blade runner sequel, the new Robocop hoepfully it is not stupified like the last one but Bloody and gore like the 1st 2. Star trek 2 will also be a good one.

I love that car, one of my favorite cars!

That's a replica of the V8 Interceptor they used in the first of the series of Mad Movies.  It's a modified Ford Falcon XB.

I don't think that's the one being used in the #4 Fury Road movie.  If I'm not mistaken, it looks more like the one in the #2 Road Warrior movie (all beat up and missing part of the Monza nose cone) but the nose is modified a little with a mesh/honeycomb grille arounf the headlights.

The one thing in the movie Mad Max that I loved the most was when he activated the Supercharger.
Then just shot off like a slingshot. Show me a real way it can be done. (if possible)

 :iagree:  Gotta love the supercharger!  It's the duck's guts!  :grinyes:

One thing I wish is if they focused more on the black interceptor, close ups of the car and the exhaust.  You just get cursory looks at it here and there once it comes out of the garage, but I guess the peeks at it make you want to see it more.

I do love the exhaust audio of the yellow pursuit car.  :grinyes:  Love when the car starts up and you see/hear the exhaust exiting from the pipes.

Easily done , I thought an engine would not run with the belt off the blower but I was wrong , enough air will go by the rotors , so all you need is an electromagnetic cltuch like AC uses only add dog teeth so it cannot slip & it can be locked up easily .

Main Force Patrol !


Main Force Patrol, aka MFP always made me giggle when I heard it because I first heard of MFP in toothpaste commercials.  It is an ingredient known as monoflurophosphate.  :roflsmiley:

The Bronze!  They have nice white teeth!!!  :bigsmile:
