Other than the mockery of the C5, how was the movie?

I'm waiting for netflix to DVD. That movie looked like Fast and the Furious 4, but with better cars. I'll pass.

horrible acting, the races were sweet though.

yes the c5 vet z06 was strange, i just assume it was "someones project". it has the z06 cluster, the z06 rear brake ducts, and the badges. inside on the A piller you can see boost gauges, so i could be a supercharged ls1.
But they F'd that car up, so maybe they wanted a "cheaper" Z06 lol
