Mr Wayne was not very nice to that car. And on an unrelated note, he speaks French beautifully.

Yeah...that's a great segment of the movie.

Notice the I-5 Vancouver B.C. ramp is the one that is backed up with traffic and McQ slams it into reverse to continue his pursuit...

The plate number of the car sitting on tracks does not match the one getting some air.
Probably the one that gets smashed near the end of the movie.

Drag racing. An adrenalin rush like no other. It felt like going into combat, tasting your first beer, and losing you virginity, all in about 8 seconds.

IIRC - appears presented as a HOOD BIRD decal delete T/A. Look closely and you can see the Small Bird decal on the nose and "Pontiac" emblem in the front drivers side grill.

IIRC: The stunt driver who was stunt driving; either the Blue Cadillac or the Impala (below); in the chase scene (towards the end of the movie) on the beach died on impact into one of the pier pilings. IIRC a car magazine [Car & Driver(?)] wrote that the stuntmans' widow agreed that the scene should be used in the movie to honor her deceased husband. Feel free to correct this information.
