Top Five: Nitrous Oxide in Movies
1) GT500 Vs All (Gone in Sixty Seconds)
This movie was cheesy as shit. But man, did the director go to town on some good chase scenes. Camera work smooth like butter with a knowing track. None of this convulsion shit that Greengrass and his ilk introduced. This GT500 with one-off bodykit is one of the sexiest cars I’ve ever seen in a movie. Allegedly a Ford 428 is in there with a 300 shot of nitrous. I dread to even think what that’s putting through the wheels, so again, doubtful. Cage actually took ownership of one of the production cars after shooting had wrapped. I hate you, Cage. Anyway, it’s eventually down to the Ford and a Police Chopper. Most Police Choppers are civilian variants and top out at about 150mph. Cage sprays it and it’s over.
