I wonder if Garth knows what happened to his car in the end. It must have taken a lot of bodywork to bring it back to life after that crash!

Wow, that's (basically) the whole movie boiled down into 6 minutes with a better soundtrack!

That's quite the plot twist where the good guy (Dean Stockwell) gets out of the Pantera, and somehow the bad guy gets in it, and then.....

Awesome.

Great music! How do you suppose they got the speedo to show 200mph? I wonder if they put an electric drill on the cable or jacked up the back of the car and revved the tits off it?

Love your car Garth.

Yeah, and quite a bit of body work right before the crash/explosion to add the wing, flares, and air dam between the chase and flying off the cliff!
