I turn on the t.v. earlier today. 'Triple X' is just starting...I have a few minutes before I have to leave the house, so I sit and watch the opening coupe of scenes. About 5 minutes into it Vin Deisel steals a c5 torch red vert. Anyway to make a long story short...he ends up driving up a ramp on a bridge..the vette sails off into the wild blue, then crashes and explodes into a fireball, while he parachutes to safety...I hope it was only a model c5!!

It was probably a stripped down C5 - even so, what a shame.

actually if you were watching that on FX - you should have noticed the "DVD Extras" they showed - it in fact was a real C5 with a real person and a parachute!
this is old news - this movie came out like 3 or more years ago and the same comments were made back then
hell, i even made some of them.
