Man... people are never on middle ground about these movies,where is it written that a "movie" has to be realistic? If you want realism watch a documentry (one day someone will make a docu drama about a day at the races.) if that documentry shows a guy going through tech, waiting in line ,wrenching, racing,loading up and going home.I can do that myself and don't want to see a movie about.I don't see why car guys and gals can't just enjoy the movies that throw us a little vehicle eye candy. Before the The Fast and Furious franchise we didn't have a good mindless popcorn and soda vehicle romp since the Cannonball Run movies. I don't watch these movies for oscar worthy performaces because lets face facts they don't have oscar type actors in them. I can pick apart these movies just like anyone else. The plot holes, bad acting,crazy stunts sign me up for he ride. The best most realistic car movie hasn't been made yet,and when it is it will be kinda boring.
