Unfortunately, I have seen a real Tiger put into a light standard when some
MORON decided that it would be cool to take a previous autocross course and
run it in reverse.  Nobody paid attention to my strenuous objections until
after the carnage.

Actually, in that scene, the Jag driver was pretty crazed...

The interesting part of this movie is that the Challenger is wrecked and
burned at the end of the flick.  The burned-out wreck they towed away is a
Camaro.  Like they couldn't find a Challenger in a junkyard?

They did some of that.  There was a place in Rogers Minnesota called Rhino
that bought a bunch of California wrecks and put them on a train for
Minnesota.  No personal experience with any of them.
