    I like the CTS-V for a remake

    1). Clearly Raptor would have been the choice
    2). Hat is critical, but does it have to be in the remake?
    3). Re are could be set anywhere, including Europe. The AMG could have worked.

    Challenge? Find a car that is the same make, model, and year as a car you once owned and regret selling. The one that got away…..

    How did a Hellcat not make the cut? It’s a modern day TransAm but with actual horsepower.

    Leave Smokie and the bandit alone. You can’t remake it today. We had CB radio. Not cell phones, tracking devices, and infrared cameras in helicopters. You’d have to change the entire theme of the movie. And it will suck no matter what you do with it

    The Viper was the obvious choice but it’s the best choice. Although the Raptor would have been a good choice as well. And YES the hat is vital to the movie.

    Best scene is the Trans Am coming out of the back of the trailer and moviegoers see it for the first time.

    Cowboy hat is ABSOLUTELY critical to the bandit. Remember he told Sally Field he only takes it off for one thing….

    Cowboy hat and boots….sounds like Carrol Shelby……hence the Viper.

    For 4 years in the '70s the FASTEST cars AVAILABLE in America were 440 Chrysler police cars.
    I know in '74 and '78, don't know the other years.
    This was drawn from car magazine tests at the time.
