Speediac ◊ 2007-07-24 00:08	My father had a car like this once. 1 of 9 in traffic in Sweden... It was a wonderful car to drive. 0-100 km/h in 6,2 sec, and top-speed at 260 km/h...
crazyforcars12 ◊ 2007-07-30 09:30	Is that damage on the rear bumper in the main pic?
TheHeartbreakKid15 ◊ 2007-08-19 18:46	Bulletholes I think
G-MANN ◊ 2007-08-19 19:43	No, they're speed holes, they make the car go faster.
TheHeartbreakKid15 ◊ 2007-08-19 22:28	Not very desirable to have holes in your car, makes it look like shoddy workmanship
antp ◊ 2007-08-19 23:30	G-MANN wrote No, they're speed holes, they make the car go faster. From what movie/series does that come? That reminds me something
G-MANN ◊ 2007-08-19 23:35	It's a Simpsons joke, from "Homer the Clown" Extract from the script courtesy of www.snpp.com : Fat Tony and his henchmen go cruising for Krusty. Tony: OK, wherever Krusty's gone, we'll find him. Legs, you check out the East Side. Louie, Rome and Budapest. Tell the boys I want a total world search. Legs+Louie: Right, boss. Homer: [at a car dealer] I want a free car because I'm Krusty. Krusty the Klown? Get it? Krus -- [honks horn] -- ty! [honk] [Tony's car skids to a halt] Tony: Cancel the world search. Homer: I want everything that's coming to Krusty the Klown. Which is me, Krusty! Louie: [behind a fence with a rifle] Hey! It's Krusty, all right. Should I shoot him gangland-style or execution-style? Tony: Listen to your heart. Salesman: Well I can't _give_ you the car, Krusty, but I _can_ let you have this little number for practically nothing: only $38,000. [bullets hit the car] Homer: [suspicious] Hey, what are all these holes? Salesman: [quickly] These are speed holes. They make the car go faster. Homer: Oh, yeah. Speed holes! [bullets riddle the car and smash the windshield] Salesman: You want my advice? I think you should buy this car. -- Last edit: 2007-08-19 23:37:02
antp ◊ 2007-08-19 23:50	Indeed. I was sure to have heard that somewhere -- Last edit: 2007-08-19 23:50:18
crazyforcars12 ◊ 2007-10-23 20:26	I mean the bumper looks kind of dented.
Skid ◊ 2007-12-04 07:54	IIRC he skids in one scene and glances off a pylon by the sidewalk, creating that rear damage. All in all, though, this car remains intact compared to other vehicles in the film.
ggj ◊ 2007-12-09 02:02	I hate the fake computer-smoke-effects they used in this scene were the 450 SEL does a reversed-180. It spoils pretty much everything.
vilero ◊ 2008-03-31 17:56	My first comment in imcdt is for Ronin. The same Mercedes-Benz with a bazzoka as a extra equipment -- Last edit: 2008-03-31 18:52:17
tali ◊ 2008-04-21 02:35	in 1979 a 6.9 would have cost 30k new.1975-80
jettalover ◊ 2009-09-16 03:22	How many cubic inches did this 6.9 engine have?
atom ◊ 2009-09-16 03:32	6.9 litre = 421.063834 cubic inches Link to "www.google.se"
Neon ◊ 2009-09-18 00:11
Neptune ◊ 2009-09-18 00:19	Wonder why they went back and added that really fake smoke? That reverse 180 maneuver would have looked just as good without it.
G-MANN ◊ 2009-09-18 00:22	1st thumbnail would be a better main image.
Jale ◊ 2009-09-18 00:24	Fourth is nice.
dsl ◊ 2011-02-21 22:03	The position of the 6.9 boot badge changes - compare 5th of Neon's thumbs with /vehicle_15401-Ford-Fiesta-1984.html . I think the fiesta pic is correct, so more than one car used, with an ordinary 450 as well as a 6.9.
