Damon: " Nothing is CGI."

Really? That's a big brag in this day and age.

Just a few seconds after Damon makes that claim there's a 64 "Series 2" Ferrari GTO that flips end over end and then slides on its roof as Miles passes in his GT....looks cool but its def CGI. Gave me a good belly laugh.

I think we would all be well served to enjoy the movie for what it is. I, for one, and really looking forward to it and I'm gonna go into theatre with the intent of being entertained as opposed to the intent of witnessing the most historically accurate movie ever made.

Kind regards,

Agree with you Vern. I dont care what color the wheels are. I just want to be entertained and have others enjoy the story of Shelby

Me too, and I think it's great that there's a CS movie at all. 

I eagerly await seeing it, and will try to suspend disbelief that Damon doesn't look or sound anything like CS.

Plus I've always thought that Ken Miles's story is amazing and it will be great for more people to learn about him.

Very true phil just think how much racing history would have changed if ken miles wouldnt have been killed when he did and he would have  keep on racing and how interesting the talks and stories would have been between him and shelby over last 40 years or so !  Hopefully after this movie ken miles will get the recognition he deserves since most younger people dont know who he was because he was killed so long ago doing what he loved testing race cars.

^this. And it still amazes me that Ken was so much older than the other drivers at the time
Nothing beats a classic!
