Gone in Sixty Seconds

[luckyboy23]

Is the greatest car flick of all time.

I remember back in 2000 one afternoon I walked to the movie theater under peer pressure to go watch the dirty movie called "Scary Movie" so I could fit in. I was 11 years old. My plan was to purchase a ticket to a random film and sneak into the Scary Movie viewing. I bought one ticket to Gone in Sixty Seconds. When I walked into the theater my guilty conscious took over and the good boy that I was programmed to be walked myself into the viewing which I paid for.

One of the best decisions I made. What a legendary film.

It’s a great movie man, helped fuel my automotive addiction lol.
My mother in laws dream car is a 67 GT500 then when I was a kid my mom found a kitten under the hood of her mustang so we kept her and I named her Eleanor, called her Ellie for short.

I grew up my whole life browsing and reading car magazines. Ferraris, Porsches, Lambos, Corvettes, Supras, NSX, and even drooled over an SVT Cobra as a Mustang hater.

Owned the original Need For Speed on PC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Need_for_Speed.

That movie blew me away, and like you it fueled my automotive addiction to the point of no return.

Haha I almost bought a silver terminator but something about it just didn’t feel right.
Listening to JRE the other day he mentioned it (think it was the Richard Rawlings episode) and said it was a terrible movie. I was like gtfo

He can suck it. You kidding me?

My friend had an 03 terminator... That thing STOCK would walk my fully bolted G35 like it wasn't moving while I'd be flooring it and he'd be in the wrong gear. It wax everything. We would be glued to the screen watch 160MPH videos and replicate them... He ended up dropping in a brand new crate engine with a Kenne Bell... Even though that made the car stupid fast, in a way it neutered the car somehow. It was perfect with pulley, intake and exhaust.

He sold it at a steal of a price of $19K with all the mods. Regrets it to this day and is always looking... We almost split a Cobra R at some kind of police auction and the starting bid was absurd so we walked away.

A sonic blue Cobra vert was a dream car of mine for a long time. Used to drool over the classified section on svt performance.net

lolz... I am a fkn die hard car guy so watching this movie , I was in absolute love with the cars... of course especially the GT500 , just everything about it.. the look , the sound even though it was likely fake...

(See below for the exact scene with an idle clip I will still watch the movie to catch over and over again)

But lets face it , the fkng acting with goddamn horrible.. the only thing that saved the movie were the cars

Great movie, but I still cringe at the fact that of all the cars at the Porsche dealership, they choose the base 911 Carrera.

.....Really?

Exactly. Cool cars, the rest was cheesy AF.

[MikeLowrrrey]

Just watched this movie, I LOVE that GT500. It's too fukn bad balding gray haired men collect them and they all sit getting dusty.

[need2grow10]

I know the movie probably sucks but I like it.


If I recall correctly, I went to the theater with a friend and his brother (he had a car and license) and watched mission impossible 2. Saw a preview for gone in 60 seconds so we went back later on and watched it.

[George2100]

Oh man I love that movie. Time for a re-watch!

[Jax05]

When you look past the nostalgia, the story line in this movie is as thin as the story line in The Fast and The Furious.

[KingSWRV]

Garbage movie

Nicholas cage was annoying because he kept trying to play roles where he’s a cool guy but was a dorky weird dude.

They are fkn everywhere.. what once was something amazing has been flooded with variations of complete $hit to the point I got tired of seeing them..

But.. intradesting story..

One broad owns the trademark to the "Eleanor" Mustang and will absolutely take your $hit if you call your Mustang "Eleanor". There was a Youtuber (B is for Build) who buys wrecked cars and turns them into fkn gold... He had bought a wrecked 2015 Mustang GT and was throughout a series of youtube videos dropping a 1967 Mustang Fastback on the S550 chassis.. and calling it Eleanor... yeah he lost that fkn car because of a name
