Ok, i dont remember which part it was but at one point when the cadillac is chasing the SAAB, the SAAB spins out then does like a 100MPH reverse. It has come to my attention that even a stock car couldnt go this fast in reverse, so why did there car still run. Surely it would of wrecked the gearbox or blew the engine.
shareIt must have been a SAAB 1.1 litre injection turbo - those things fly!
shareIt's been awhile since I'v seen the movie, but it seems to me there was ice on the road... any car that hits ice can peg the speedometer in forward or reverse if you hold the pedal down.
shareAs far as I remeber the speedometer was not showing mph but km/h.
shareActually it had both mph and km/h. Those rims on that saab were nice.
shareWhen he's chasing the Cadillac across the lake, the speedometer is shown at somewhere between 100 and 110 mph. Then the engine blows up.
shareThis Saab would have dusted this old fart no performance rwd Cadillac but somehow it didn't happen. Maybe it was a standard 2.0 instead of turbo...
shareSaab 900s are slow, turbo or not.

This Saab would have dusted this old fart no performance rwd Cadillac but somehow it didn't happen. Maybe it was a standard 2.0 instead of turbo...A 57 Caddy most likely would have had a 365 engine with over 300 HP and would be no slouch. But it was obvious by the sound of the Caddy in the movie that it was supposed to be "souped up" so it would have been faster than a stock one. Not that it matters cuz...it's just a movie but if you're gonna nitpick at least get your facts straight.
so why did there car still run. Surely it would of wrecked the gearbox or blew the engine.Because it's a movie and movies generally take dramatic license, exaggerate things, depict things that are unrealistic, etc. for the sake of entertainment.
