I saw it too and my wife after the movie tells me "If imports are so fast, why don't you trade your mustang". I started laughing and told here the real story and how import cars of the nature of the movie would not be that fast. She said that is wierd. She is of the opinion that a car is what gets you from point A to point B.
Anyway, I was really laughing when he was tring to get his first car to do over 140mph. And he had to get a 2 stage nitros system to do it. When it shows him racing he hits the NO2 at 140. If that were real I would think the whole engine would have exploded. The other thing that was a laugh is that they said they live their lives 9 or 10 seconds at a time. It was awesome when the Charger took off and did a wheelie for about the first 60 feet. I could see why though being as it had, I think he said, 900hp. The whole movie was an exageration though. Specialy the Race Wars were there was nothing but imports. In California there would have been a lot of domestics too.
