Default The Cars of Furious 7

Watched the movie today. The array of fast, sleek cars doing some action was drool-inducing, to say the least. That red car that jumped skyscrapers in Dubai I didn't recognize at first. Had to google it afterwards.http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-cult...rcial-trailer/

Sad to see Paul Walker drive off to the sunset. RIP Paul.

Yep, Lykan Hypersport. Pretty unique with it's Twin Turbo Boxer 740 HP. $3.4 Million though

Just saw the movie and I thought it was great. And a nice classy send off for Paul Walker.

Amazing car, it crashed through 3 buildings with virtually no body damage.

Except for Dwayne Johnson, there were literally no body damage even with head-on collisions, rolling down a mountain, or falling down 50 ft after crashing with a helicopter in cars for the human characters, that's even more amazing

Hah, Rhonda Rousey got more hurt than all of that, falling one floor with the DJ table breaking her fall.

Yeah, the rolling down the mountain thing was a bit much - also the Head to Head on full throttle crash then getting out like it was just bumper cars at the park

I thought it was a really great movie. the best of all 7 movies. Great send off, loved the supra tribute as well, and how he drives in a different direction

hmm this gives me an excuse to go watch it again

I guess technically it didn't go through any walls of anything. It just went through a set of double doors, and a bunch of glass windows
