I have a friend who had a brand new Neon SRT-4 in yellow and 1 week after he got it he totalled it racing. Now he drives a Honda Civic. I know another guy who had a '95 Thunderbird LX with a V-8 I believe a 4.6L, anywho, he got it up to 120 and blew the engine completely. When he is allowed to drive again he will be driving a '92 Civic hatch back.
I'm speachless. [sm=smiley5.gif]

As for that video, I know this is a Dodge site but I love Mustangs! All of the cars that were on that highway were awesome and I can't believe they had any of them get run over by a semi. The first movie was the same with the Charger. I wanted neither of those cars to wreck, but if I had to choose one of those two cars to hit the semi, I'd pick the Supra. I nearly cried when I saw that kick *** Charger flip.

Wrong movie bud, you are comparing the original Fast and the Furious, to the clip above of 2 Fast 2 Furious!

Why does the top of the Semi 'blow away'? LOL! Just for special effects...? LOL!

I see alot of those types around my neighborhood and they usually carry either crushed rock or gravel...when they hit a bump (or in this case, a 'stang) and are going fast enough, sometimes the top of the "load" gets bumped up into the airstream and it gets blown back in a cloud of dust and debris. Nobody in their right mind drives behind those things unless they have a tarp covering the load.

But yes, I think they overdid it a little for the "special effects"...
