[DeTomaso] Fast Five Pantera GTS

[michael@michaelshortt.com]

The car shown in the screen grab (I have not seen the movie) is estimation
is a fake,  fiberglass panels on a roller chassis, at best it is a beater on
a roller chassis.  1)  the paint quality sucks 2) the front wheel in mid air
flight is straight and true 3) notice that both the front and rear tires are
at level, given that gravity os fairly predictable and that our cars have 4
wheel independent suspensions, the problability of them both positioned
perfectly at level is highly unlikely. 4) it looks lile a trailer tube axle
across the rear and 5) I have jumped and flown in lots of cars and I always
watched the  playbacks, the wheels and ties always compress on take off,
drop in flight and smash into the inner fenders when you land.

If the car is seen running in the film, it could very well be a real one,
but this puppy is a stunt double IMHO.
