I understand the business decision, but it was disappointing they didn't take it across the finish line.

I spoke with one of the stunt drivers Friday (Tony Hunt). He said that they used a mixture of cars from Superformance and RCR. He ended up buying the Superformance 289 slabside "hero car" (#98, one of three, actually, but the one used for driving in the movie).
I was disappointed at the treatment of Phil Remington. He was a genius who made important contributions, but was made to look like an old dweeb. I know this wasn't the "Phil Remington" movie, but they didn't have to do that.
