i would have thought the producer would make those comments regarding the enzo, not the carrera gt.

Cost of making a bad car movie = $26 Million
Wreck two cars in a feeble attempt to promote the movie = $1 Million +
Go around saying anything you can to hype up interest in the movie, making yourself look like a fool = Free

Watch the box office climb to a staggering gross profit of $6 million = Priceless!!


Hell - this movie made more money (turn up the volume!!):

I love this opening - I know it's cheesy, it was the 80's

Cars don't kill people, people kill people. What a wussy.

I'm a little disturbed by his assertion that the car has "spun on him a couple of times". Where is this happening?

That's so true. What is the deal with actors, comedians, whatever thinking just because ther're famous they can do anything and the'll be successful at it. Thinking just because they were in the Toyota celebrity race, they handle or drive anything. What a bunch of morons

Supercars like the CGT require a SKILLED driver to be driven fast.....not just some *** hat with a fat wallet like this producer.....I'm sure it is possible to drive a CGT at a very fast pace and not crash it....its driving beyond your abilities that kills people.....no matter what car...its just easier for a 600hp car to get away from you.....

So you see wrecked enzo's and CGT's...but why not Ford GT's.....similar power and weight?? I guess they break down too much to drive on the track?

and I wish you continued health so that you can continue to pitch yours...

As much as I'd like to say that I have a 600HP Porsche that can do 60 in under 3.5 seconds, I acknowledge I am far too inexperienced to handle such a car. For now I'll stick with my 150HP four-banger 944 and maybe move into the 200 or 300HP range in a few years. At this rate I can drive a CGT by the time I'm 40! (17 now)

Anyone want to lend me their car in 20 or so years?

Redline Producer falls on hard times.

See May 20 OC register. Since I am new I cant post the URL!?!?!?!?!?

High roller of home loans
Over five years, Quick Loan Funding wrote $3.8 billion in mortgages to people with shaky credit.


Critics panned "Redline." The Boston Globe called it "an action flick loaded with cars, chrome, and silicone … everything you'd expect it to be, and yet so much less: less character development, less believability, and most unforgivably, less escapist entertainment."

The $33 million movie grossed $3.8 million on opening weekend and soon vanished from theaters.

"Redline" premiered as layoffs, asset sales and bankruptcy filings soared in the subprime industry – a fate that threatens Quick Loan, too.

Sadek says Quick Loan had to buy back $29 million in loans that defaulted in the first two months. That's a number that's likely to grow.

Today he is $16 million in debt, he says. Sadek says he raised $13 million for Quick Loan by selling his cars and refinancing his Newport Coast mansion, an Irvine penthouse and a Las Vegas condo.

He believes the company is a good bet.

"Tough times don't last," he says. "Tough people do."

I hope the SC mortgage market wipes him off the face of the earth. Shyster.

Den.

People like this idiot and the public that listens to anythinmg a "celebrity" spouts off are the reason we have the government threatening to legislate stability control in every car rather than BANNING (and suggesting people LEARN TO DRIVE!!) it like they should!
