If you are a true gearhead, then this movie is for you! Although the plot doesn't leave much to write about, the fantasy of ramming through the gears of a high performance car across the country in an illegal race is more than enough to make you sit through the campy '70's look and feel of this movie. The Cobra's 427 and the down-shifting of the Tremec 5-speed transmission is music to my ears and the Ferrari's 365 V-12 complete throaty growl of these two beasts duking it out for the last few miles of the race. Don't forget the supporting arsenal which includes a Porsche 911, a Z-28, the two fogies in a Mercedes, the fake cops in a souped-up Dodge police cruiser, and the maniacal Hungarian on a Kawasaki! Not many real laughs or substance, but the engines and cars are priceless. I hope this comes out on DVD soon.
