One of Vin Diesel's XXX character movies ( not porno ) have him stealing and racing a C5 vert through the streets finally driving it off a high bridge. He parachutes out of the Vette while it crashes.

I just saw the ending of MR. Deeds. There were at least 30 Torch Red C5's at the very end of the movie lined up along the street...coupes, VERTs and FRC.....all with Black interior and the verts with Black tops.....Movie was made in 2002, so I guess they were all 02's.....

How about the Top Gear when they had the ZR1, CTS-V and the Challenger?
Here is a picture from the show and a picture of the ZR1 I took while they were here in Reno.

I was thinking about these movies too, but the OP said "any GOOD movies". J/K I actually thought these movies were ok but I was 19 when The Fast and the Furious came out. No guys I did not have a rice mobile, I actually had a '99 Z28 that was Hugger Orange with dealer installed black racing stripes on it.

Forgot about this, too bad it's "not his style"
