So the Wraith was on the list of movie car chases. Some have seen it, some have not. If you have not, you are most likely young, and should see it. You can watch it for free on IMDB.

Anyhoo, here is some info on the car that was used in the movie, it was not a fake car made for the movie.

From the IMDB page here is some info:

The black car featured in the movie was a real-life technological wonder, the Dodge M4S. A joint effort of the Dodge Division of Chrysler Motors and PPG Industries, one of the highly sophisticated PPG Pace Cars for the PPG-CART Indy Car World Series. The M4S was designed and constructed at an estimated cost of $1.5 million, and featured performance and technology to match that lofty figure. The innovative body design was developed in the Chrysler studios, while PPG developed the finish - a special bronze pearl paint job formulated just for this car. The M4S was powered by a Chrysler 2.2-liter four-cylinder one-of-a-kind engine that exceeded 194 mph. According to 'Gary Hellerstein', transportation coordinator for this film, a total of seven versions of the M4S were needed for filming. The original, on loan from Dodge, was used for close-ups and details. Two more "drivers", consisting of perfectly detailed bodies on dune buggy chassis, were used for stunt driving chores. There were four "shells", empty bodies on bare, towable frames, that were sacrificed in various crash scenes.

here is another link with more pics.

I loved this movie as a kid. My grandmother had it on tape and we would watch it in the summer when the weather was bad. I think that this movie might be responsible for my love of cars. I must have seen this movie a dozen times before I was 10.

Also...boobs. That helps as a kid. But yeah this movie had the same impact on me, also, I watched it again today before I posted this. I remember the boob scene being longer. I guess when you're a kid, that 2 second clip seems like an hour.
