THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST CAR MOVIE EVER MADE! My wife and I just recently got married on the 30th anniversary release date of this movie. |

I remember when they escaped with all the trucks on the highway, there was a white 1962 Ford Falcon seen a lot in the scenes. |

"The master of the steering wheel is escaping"! Too literally? ![]() Już o tym pisałem gdzieś tutaj, że Robocopa chcieli u nas nazwać "Policyjnym gliniarzem" - jak widzisz mogło być gorzej. -- Last edit: 2008-12-29 22:44:18 |

I got the impression the German title "Ein ausgekochtes Schlitzohr" (A crafty chiseler) is even worse... ![]() |

As I recall with mine there was a bit of a knack required to get it off the line quickly.Tried flooring it from a standing start once and it just sat there spinning the back wheels & making smoke!.Came in handy when I was being harassed by some kid in a Ford Fiesta 1.8 turbo though (kids car shows how long ago this was!).Two lanes and four sets of traffic lights in a row in town & we're side by side.1st set of lights go green & all you could hear was his engine revving & his pissy little front tyres squeeling.I ignored it & rolled up to the next set of lights.2nd set go green,same again,once again I ignore it.3rd set of lights & I floor it with the result of very little forward motion,plenty of smoke & even more noise.At the 4th set strangely enough He pulled away very slowly.Bit silly really biting like that but I was 21 with a 6.6 litre trans am & it was fun humiliating His pissy little car!. I eventually found that it shifted best if You let it start to roll then steadily floored it (And Boy could it shift!) |

Said to be one of Alfred Hitchcock's favorite films to personally watch, believe it or not...it supposedly made him laugh out loud. |

hey thebandit77transam,i dont know where you got your figures for the 0-60 times but you better double them,the car only had 180 HP back then,try around 8.5 seconds,my 76 LE 455 4 speed was 6.2 seconds at the track,that was with a motor with more HP.i also found some other info on a web sight about the cars in the movie,this is copied and pasted ...........However, production delays resulted in the movie being shot with a '77 model - and by then, major changes had taken place. The 455 was gone, replaced by a new "T/A 6.6-liter" 400 that offered about the same horsepower but nowhere near the street cred of the big bruiser. (Many scenes in the movie were done with a 455-equipped car that had been modified to "bark the tires" on a hard one-two upshift in a way the standard car just couldn't manage.) The '77s also marked the debut of a significant body restyle that included a new quad-headlight front end, flat hood, and smaller, less belligerent-looking hood scoop. ...............if you want to see it yourself go google "60'times '76 trans am".the article was from businessweek |
