No
But if you are a car nut like me it's a bit silly to watch my 2 favourite American cars being driven fast but hearing them change up 6 or 7 times in the same sequence!!

Exactly the same point I made about the fast movies just cause they have more gears makes it just as stupid.

Talking about the Fast movies. I still laugh my b...s off when the cop is flat out in the Mitsi Eclipse then hits the Nitrous and takes off!! What?? Who writes this garbage? If the engine is flat out hitting the gas ain't going to make it go faster!! It would just go bang!!
Then there is this whole 10 second car stuff!! Having built and run lots of cars over the years I know how hard it would be to get a modded road going car to do a 10 second 1/4!!
Most hyper cars struggle to achieve that.

it did though... the floor fell out - and the welds on the intake for some unknown reason

It didn't exactly go bang though, it just sort of smoked and then managed to outrun the cops!!

Why cut a hole in the floor then bolt a plate over the hole? That's just asking the plate to fall out. lol

I'v never seen welds in cast inlets myself so can't comment but it sounded stupid.

they do it all the time with bikes, Hollywood thinks every bike sounds like a jap in line 4 even if its a twin or triple lol.

As far as I know the cars in Bullit were V8. The Charger would have had 375 bhp and the Mustang around 325 iirc. The performance of the two was similar due to the Fords lighter weight.
