HE,HE So wescott you think the cars featured in films are all sponsored! Surely not!
A 260bhp Alfa with a supercharger and some other mods would stand more of a chance against an AM. Although that said a low power car can be just as quick as a more powerfull one on bends. It's when you see a 106GTi keeping up with a Mitsubishi Evo on a very tight twisty course that makes you think.
I do agree that the movies could be more realistic. But perhaps that would take out all the fun and you can't give the bad guys AM's as well!
