That’s really cool. I’m sure the budget dictated walking the line between some measure of accuracy and not spending millions on a fleet of replicas. They picked a great source to get them from.
I’d be curious to know how the front suspension was set up on the blue 289 that Damon drives throughout the film. Every time the car goes over a bump it bounces like a AA/Altered funny car with a solid front axle. I’ve never seen a Cobra replica from any manufacturer set up that stiff.
Gaz, that’s funny about the carburetor comment. I remember that scene but I think I was taking a sip from the Bass Ale I was enjoying during the movie during that part
