Things I Learned From The Need For Speed Movie: 1) Best way to start a street race is to wait for a train to approach the starting line, so you have to race a train getting ready to cross in front of your car. 2) A locally owned small town mechanic is going to have access to body panels and performance parts for an unreleased car Carroll Shelby was designing. 3) Best way to test the 230 MPH Top Speed on a Shelby Mustang is on a tightly curved road course. 4) SVT Supercharger and racing headers are the only things separating a Mustang GT from a Ferrari-beating 230 MPH Shelby Mustang. 5) When driving from New York City to San Francisco with a strict time deadline, the most direct route takes you through downtown Detroit. 6) I-94 runs south out of Detroit (who knew?) 7) If the police in Michigan are looking for a Silver Mustang with a blonde female passenger, its fully reasonable that a Nebraska State Trooper will see a Silver Mustang at a gas station and know its the same car without knowing the license plate number. And if he sees a blonde female (who is not anywhere near the car), hell know that its the same person. 8) Being in the military means you can walk into any base and use any of the aircraft you want. 9) A car collector who paid $3,000,000 for a one-off car will agree to let an ex-con mechanic drive the car from New York to San Francisco to drive the car in an illegal street race...as long as his Personal Assistant rides shotgun. 10) Hosting an illegal street race, which is known across the world, which you have named after yourself, in which police and other drivers are maimed and possibly killed, and broadcasting the live play-by-play, is apparently not a crime. 11) Participating in an illegal street race, in which dozens of police cars are destroyed, and in which police and other drivers are maimed and possibly killed, and which almost wipes out a school bus full of children, while you are violating every single condition of your parole, which lead to a nationwide manhunt by every police department in the country...will land you 180 days in jail. 12) A perfectly acceptable way to stop a group of speeding cars is for a cop to wedge his nightstick between the seat and the gas pedal, and let his unmanned police car shoot out onto a busy highway. 13) If youre participating in a race, in which the only prize for the winner is the title to every other vehicle in the race, an excellent race strategy is destroying all the other cars.
