!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Then, find the other guy who posted the same and promote him, too.
It'd really just make my day if the FP did something unpopular but correct for once. You can help make that happen!

I happen to like both Gone in 60 Seconds.
The original is great for the vintage car prOn and excellent chases. The remake is great for cheesey one-liners and goofy quotes.
And, despite your disapproval of the "modern" Elanore, Nic Cage did some fantastic driving during the heroic final chase.
Yes, the new movie is drivel, but I still enjoy watching it anyway.

Here's the thing; my ire would be greatly reduced if they'd given the project its own name rather then borrowing from Halicki's film and NOT PAYING ANY RESPECT TO IT outside the name of THE WRONG MUSTANG.
I'd still be outraged, mind you, over their "let's try and fool people into thinking this was a real car" bullshit and only because I'm a Mustang Guy. A whole generation of dumbshitfuckasswits think that this Eleanor was an actual car, an off-the-line offering from something called FordShelbyMustangShelbyFordGT500KRNOT! The reason it has me so outraged? Because using an actual Shelby would have been every bit as cool and not one big fapping lie.

Tell us how you really feel.
Not being a passionate Mustang enthusiast, I guess I don't really feel it's really a problem.
I also like to think I'm not an idiot and I realized that Elanor was tarted-up for the movie and that Ford and/or Shelby never offered a vehicle with any of those body-kit parts. In fact I had always thought that they were portrayed as being added by the "owner" in the movie.

Which makes it worse!
They're car thieves, right? And they think, "Hey dudes, let's steal the most heavily customized Mustang in the country because THAT is what will sell..."
The logic behind the car, its place in the film, and their theft of it, is flawed.

Actually, I think it was the only one around Long Beach so they didn't have much choice.
It's just a movie, chill out. :p

Was it really? I can't remember in that much detail. But there may have been a line of dialogue by way of exposition where someone said something about it being the only one... which then makes you wonder how Memphis had a history with "this car" when it's a one-off?
How do you have a history with a one-off restomod that belongs to someone else when you're just a car thief? Was he stealing this car every other weekend?
Or, when he was a kid did Memphis build a time machine, travel to the future and develop a history with this car before coming back to his own time period in which there were exactly ZERO of these Mustangs? DAFUQ!

Methinks you need to go watch the movie again.
His history isn't with that specific car, just with the 67 Shelby GT500 in general. And they explain that he's always had trouble whenever he tried to steal one.

You're probably right. I should go back and watch it again. Just don't know if I'm feeling enough self-loathing to do that just now. :)
You're also right, I get carried away.
No hard feelings.

It's not the cars fault. The car is blameless. It's what popular culture did that makes it a shame, is all.
