Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I'm free.
You almost had me! You never had me - you never had your car. Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! You almost had me!
Ask any racer, any real racer. It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile; winning's winning.
That wing is huge??

Is it true that drag racers try to complete everything in under 10 seconds! Or should I be asking Mrs. Kevin!

Favourite car movie.I haven't seen all of them, but I like 'Duel'.
As for the first F&F movie, it was way too cheesy and crap. Absolute garbage.

I've got plenty but the 2 proper "car" movies are Two Lane Blacktop & Running on Empty.

Ive never seen a car /bike movie that comes anywhere near the real thing. Drag racing for me has been all about perfecting my starts for the "real" racing. Funny thing is evenlast night-I took the kids out indoor karting. Im still working on finding the "perfect" line and getting the power on at just the right moment to get the 7 or so hp working at its best. Even that is better than watching it on a screen

The Bank Job.
Not a "car movie" but it has an XJ6 cop car, a P6B V8 cop car, and a Triumph 2.5PI Mk2 undercover cop car (which does a skid brah).
It's British Leyland heaven.

In summer '63 I was staying alive hanging at the races, hoping to drive When they were done with the weekend and loading the cars I couldn´t get a pass so I went to the bar
I'm up in the corner nursing a beer who should come laughing and joking in here but Bobby Brown, the winer of the sports car race with some friends and a girl, man, she lit up the place
Bobby was a wild boy - one summer he knocked down a motel wall with a hammer He'd do anything - one night for a bet he raced through the cornfields in a Corvette
I thought it's got to be a thrill to be like that with the beautiful girl and be king of the track But the truth is when all was said and done it was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one

IMO kitt is nothing compared to the nightriders monaro.
"In the scene where the car crashes out, the engine has actually been removed from the car, and it is being propelled by a solid fuel rocket - there's no sped up film here, the car is really going that fast"
Thats right they strapped solid rocket boosters to a Monaro.
