Published 2021-01-19
The Fast and Furious franchise has given us car nerds a lot of enjoyment. These movies help shape the culture of the automotive world we live in, one quarter mile at a time. But on another hand, they also led us astray when it comes to the actual physics in some of their more famous scenes. “Busters” turbo hack, 100mph in reverse, doing a wheel stand WHILE doing a burnout? Today on Bumper2Bumper, we are gonna take a look at some of these feats of impossible physics and break out some engineering truth on some of our favorite Fast and Furious myths. Let go!

But It's Not Science That Makes Those Cars This Ridiculous , It's Family.
-
DAY 2: Of supporting uncle Jeremiah to bring back up to speed
-
“thanks to raid shado-“ me: skip skip skip
-
Not only is Dom doing a wheelie AND a burnout at the same time (props to you guys as I've never noticed that before), but he's also expertly controlling all of this without hitting his car on the ground or flipping over despite the absence of wheelie bars.
-
No one: F&F 9: “We need to launch the Rocket Pontiac Fiero into space to stop the alien invasion!”
-
Me: “Brian, how can I do 100mph in reverse?” Brian: “I said forget about it cuh.”
-
“SWAT came into my house! Disinfected my whole family!!!” “I never coughed on nobody!!”
-
I remember being at the drag strip around the time of the first movie. A mustang had a nitrous backfire that blew his headlight out. Some dude yelled "NOS" and cleared the stands hahaha
-
Next episode of money pit: "Can NOS™ make the miata do a wheelie?"
-
Jeremiah: "Cars can't drive fast backwards" Volvo 340 Automatic: *Laughs in Dutch*
-
"cant drive fast in reverse" laughs in defective gear ratio
-
FF12: wheelie while drifting while burn out while stoppie while rolling
-
Vin diesel seems like the kinda guy to permanently run rich just incase he needs to pull the coketab on his wastegate.
-
No way he hacked those cars without going to StackOverflow at least once.
-
That zombie car scene, christ. I remember just saying "what the fuck is this shit?" In the theater
-
Fun fact - some tractors are quicker in reverse than in forward gears. And yes, they can theoretically go 100 MPH, when powered by a gas engine and not a lazy diesel.
-
The most baffling question in existence isn't how the universe began, but how F&F went from street racing to mission impossible.
-
“If F&F is real, Spider man would be” - My Father
-
9:43 That reminds me of Fast and Furious 5 - Right after the Bank Vault heist, the 2 Chargers seem to switch into their ‘2nd Reverse Gear’ as they speed off with the Safe.
