Chevy Sonic + Transformers 4

[sprchik]

A local news station (WILX) posted a few hours ago on their FB feed that ---

"Transformers 4" will shoot next week by a wheat field along M52 near Adrian.

In a comment, a guy said it will be closer to Jasper, MI (about 7 miles south of Adrian on M52).


This is less than an hour from me... would be interesting to go if I knew what days/times they'll be shooting!

The Michigan Department of Transportation says it's approved the closing of the roadway from June 25 to 29 for the shooting.

Thank you WILX - Action Scene for `Transformers 4' Shot Near Adrian

It's an RS
Let us all drool over the body kit:

It's definitely built for rally, looks lifted to me.

Found a video of it:

Mother of god. I love it. I more then likely has a retrofitted rally suspension. With the right people, and a nice budget it would be hard.

I think it looks god awful as a CAR. But its f*cking awesome because its a Transformer!!!!

It's a rally car. Not a daily driver

 

[SUPER SONIC BOOM]

Holy sh*t, that's exactly the rally-style rear wing I've been talking about/looking for. It looks just like a real WRC one (which is badass of course), if it ever becomes available it'll be on my "Shadow" for damn sure, cuz it's all I'm missing at the moment. The Sonic just looks like a rally car already, this really sets it off & completes the look.

I'm a Decepticon freak too, so I can't wait to see if it is one in TF4 (I hope so). What I'm really excited about is the upcoming Transformers toys of it when it's finally released, I've been waiting for something like this for awhile now too. Man, between those two new things, I'm really pumped & excited, sh*t I can't wait!

Well, idk about that car, but Pat Moro's GRC Sonic will supposedly have AWD & 2.0T (how 'bout dem apples ehh)!

That TF4 Sonic is supposed to be a rally car, & we all know rally cars are TURBO, so it better be a 1.4T or all hell's gonna break loose hahaha!!!:blankface:

I really just want that huge rally wing though...

you know movies man; they're a business first, entertainment second. it's cheaper to get a manual LS hatch and a body kit than an RS, and they can play fancy turbo noises over the measly putter of a 1.8 all day.

 

[$ub$onic]

Yes but if you look on the inside pic, it has a mylink radio. So it's not a Ls . Maybe a ltz 1.8

They are neither 1.4 or 1.8 I got to take a look at a couple up close/on lifts recently. They are actually Mistubishi Evos from the firewall forward. The entire floor/center tunnel is from an evo too. Most of the body work is fiberglass and even the headlights are cutdown. They also for some reason have 4 racing buckets inside, imguessing camera crew?

I was only visiting the shop they were being worked on and they had a couple other movie/prop cars around and asked me not to take pics,so sorry I can't show anything.

I have an erectio...

Sorry Eric all I got out of that sentence was this

And you listened to them! shame on you, you should've snuck some pics .

Just playing, that's awesome you got to see it up close.

The only thing I don't like about that sonic is the goofy looking low pro tires. If they had more meat it would look way more BA.

They actual had 4 cars when I was there, two had big wheels/lowpro tires, the other two had gravel rally wheels (with the larger spokes/hub to protect brakes) with taller BFGoodrich rally bloc tires, but those weren't mounted on the car.

They had two in the air that were damaged doing some jumps, they were remaking some fiberglass parts that got smashed. They also welded up a mount to the roof that is supposed to attach to a boom of some type.
