ehhhh...It wasn't a 426 Hemi car...they used quiet a few cars in the filming of the movie....383's and 440's. You know sometimes it's a good thing to be on you know whose ignore list...
When I first saw the movie I thought it was kinda good but after reseeing....eeeennnnn
PS. If I had one of those cars to own today it would be a 383 Magmum. Produces enough HP and torque yet the car is reasonably well balanced. At one time I owned a 440 Six Pack..a 440 ci with 3, 2 barrel Holleys. Either you were putting along or you were being launched when the 2 outboard Holleys kicked in. Thus the car was really no fun to drive.
Early Porsches pre 1973's are were alot more fun to drive. While they didn't have the get up to go like the Detroit Iron once they are running they are alot more nimble. Quiet like a Go-Kart...maybe thats why I love them so much.
