How much faster and more furious could the sequel to 2Fast 2Furious possibly be?

Who knows, man? If and when the powers that be decide to "drop" the latest Fast and Furious installment on us, it remains to be seen which scale of fast and/or furious progression will be seen. Will the next chapter continue it's fast and furious growth in the same manner that the public saw between The Fast and the Furious and 2Fast 2Furious? Only time will tell.

Continuing at its present rate of Fast and Furious growth, one can expect a film which is at least 3 times as fast and furious as the original; 50% more furious than the previous movie as well as 50% faster. Something along the lines of Tre Fast, Tre Furious, a title that not only alludes to the faster and more furious nature of the film, but also plays into the fact that it is indeed the third movie fast and furious enough to warrant the title of Fast and Furious.

If however, the studio executives decide on a more irregular numerical progression for just how fast and how furious the movies will be, different titles and different degrees of exactly how fast and how furious would come into play. So far, the progression from Fast to 2Fast could have just as easily come from an exponential, self-additive number pattern, quite a fast and furious numerical pattern in its own right.

For example:
1+1=2
2+2=4
4+4=8.....and so on.

Taking this possibility into account, a decidedly different picture with varying degrees of fastness and furiousity emerges.

The Fast and the Furious+The Fast and the Furious=2Fast 2Furious
2Fast 2Furious+2Fast 2Furious=A movie already 4 times faster and more furious than the original.

While this scenario is indeed feasible, it would quickly begin to pose practical problems. Were the series to continue to be a success, and the public continued to demand more movies that were exponentially faster and more furious, the filmmakers would eventually hit a point where the expected degree of just how fast and furious the movie should be would come into direct conflict with just how fast and how furious they were physically able to actually make the film.

If the series were to progress to a fourth installment, something not out of the realm of fast and furious possibility, the filmmakers would be faced with the task of crafting a movie that was SIXTEEN times faster and more furious than The Fast and the Furious. Would that even be possible? Can anything be that fast or that furious? We're talking about something along the lines of a 5 hour car chase involving 300 cars where each car would be driving at 8000mph. Four naked chicks would be wrestling on top of each car during the chase, and 2 nuclear warheads would be strapped to each chick's boobs. The chase would plow through both the Boston and New York City Marathons, killing every single person who was running, and the people who normally pass out little cups of water on the side of the race would instead each be equipped with one of those spinning howitzer guns from Terminator 2.

And Paul Walker would look fiiiiiine.
