Don't forget the original .


Note that they are driving much slower in the original, though it sure didn't looks slow back at the time. I imagine that the new one had to be faster because there was no way that they could have broken the wheels loose at the original speeds.

I like the fact that they thought to include the green VW in the new one (which was essentially a continuity error in the old one, I think).

I have been told that in the original the guys in the Charger had to let off the throttle all the time so Steve could keep up. Here is a reall good write up:
