Car rarity plot device is ridiculous.
I realize that they went with a Mustang to pay homage to the original but did anyone do any research on the real rarity of the car in question? I mention this because it's used as a major plot device. He "saves" the 1967 Shelby GT 500 Mustang for last because it is supposed to be the most "rare" car on the list. The police also use this plot device to locate and trap Memphis which leads to the finale car chase. Unfortunately, there are several cars on the list that are far and away more rare that a 1967 Shelby GT 500.
For the record, there were 2048 1967 Shelby GT 500 cars built. Pretty rare, but not nearly as rare as a 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda 4-speed coupe (59 built). Or even a 1962 Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato (25 built). << Admittedly the list says 1962 Aston Martin DB1 but the DB1 was discontinued in 1950 and the 62 DB4 GT Zagato was used in the film... again only 25 of those were ever built! (one sold at auction for over 14 million dollars)... Yet the Mustang is pin-pointed as the coup de gras of the list.
Heck the 2000 Rolls Royce Stretch Limo on the list is probably more "rare" than a 1967 Shelby GT 500. Stretch Limos are all custom made and I highly doubt there are more than 2048 "year 2000 Rolls Royce stretch jobs" floating around out there.
Again, just a movie but some serious errors with a major plot device in it.
