390 vs 440---not the issue--the Mopar was geared much lower--both cars had extensive modifications for the jump scenes and both were basket cases when filming was done. one Mustang remains in existence on the east coast--it cannot be purchased..
Glenn I agree with you on that. But it's the US car makers' own fault they've been left behind by the Japs and the Europeans in car making... maybe if GM & Chrysler could offer their cars with an option at no cost to run on LPG they'd sell more. I love US made cars, I live in the UK and have two Chryslers...and gas here is around $9 US a gallon..
Hate to say it, But Detroit should be a ghost town. Don't forget that our own goverment started giving the killing blows to U.S. automakers back in the late 60's. and labor unions where the worst thing to ever happen to Detroit. It's dis-heartning but it is the gods honest truth.
Only a car chase involving traditional Detroit V8s looks convincing. Somehow a modern version with Hyundais and Toyotas would look stupid. This film was made when American cars were the best in the world.
Movie car was a 440. They had two Mustangs one 390 and one 289. They had to beef up the 390 car just to get it to hang with that new Dodge 440. The Stang couldn't even keep up with it to make a realistic looking chase scene. This info is from a guy that worked on the movie set. They also said the original chase car was going to be a tripple black 68 Cougar, but some kid working on the set had a new black Charger in the parking lot. The director saw it and the rest is history.
i was told it was a 426, but now i know it was a 440! thats awesome though! never heard of that story, so glad they used the charger instead of the cougar!
Actually, if you pay a little bit more attention, you will realize the same cars keep popping up in the background, trust me....there was no real traffic in this movie.(not too much) but no it still does not suck
when you look at this chase, did anyone else notice the same green VW Beetle appeared times? And it got ahead of the Charger AND the Mustang twice! What a machine lol
apart from highlighting, yet again, that american cars just dont handle well at all this is far from the greatest car chase that its reported to be....
Name of the car? Camaro something right? What year?
