Corrected entry: Even though Roman is "parked so close to the derby" this would not satisfy the house arrest thing. For one you have to have a phone for the ankle bracelet and I doubt that cell phones work, since that would defeat the purpose. (00:20:00)

Corrected entry: The first time Brian's car gets hit with the ESD it shorts out his electrical system but for some reason he is acting like his brakes don't work. National DOT standards and all the laws that govern automotive design and manufacture strictly require that no part of the braking system rely on electronics. This is because electronics are not reliable enough for such a vital part of driving safety. Even if illegally modified, a racer wouldn't make his brakes rely on the electrics for the same reason. While the brakes might be less responsive, they wouldn't be as unresponsive as depicted.
Correction: An ABS system, on most new models, IS an electronic component of a braking system, and would be shorted by the ESD. The reason the brakes become less responsive is because the engine stalls, causing the power brake booster to be inoperable due to lack of vacuum from the engine. This may cause the brakes to be as unresponsive as shown. Having driven a 67 Camaro SS with no power brakes, you need to apply a lot of pressure to the manual brakes to stop. And also having driven cars with failed power boosters, it is at least as much, if not more, pressure required to stop the car.

Corrected entry: When Brian and Rome decide to chase the boat in the Yenko they have to back up. You see the rear tire spinning in the dirt then it stops spinning but you can hear the other tire spinning. This is not possible if this is really a Yenko. In a Yenko Camaro the suspension consisted of a 12-bolt with 4.10 gears, Posi-traction, multileaf springs, and special shocks.
Correction: Even if it was a real Yenko, it's more than possible that someone, somewhere, during the car's over 30 year life would change the rear end. Positracs are great for straight line traction, but notoriously poor for handling. If the car was used for competitive street racing, someone could have swapped the rear end for a limited slip differential for better handling characteristics. We don't know this particular car's history.

Corrected entry: Does anyone else think it odd to have hydraulics and huge sound systems in "race" cars? Hydraulics add a considerable amount of weight to a car. The last thing you want in a race is extra weight. More than one car is seen racing with big sound systems. Brian's and Rome's car both have big sound systems.
Correction: Note that these are "Street Racers" and many wouldn't know the difference between a "Race Car" and a "Rice-Burner." Also, many of the cars are built to show-off or attract Girls, so sacrificing handling for Kick-@$$ sound systems and Neon that add weight is seen as a fair trade-off.

Corrected entry: If Eva knew she would be collecting Brian and Roman's licenses to run a background check wouldn't they give them aliases so Veron wouldn't know who their real names and could have them killed or hunt them down himself when he got out?
Correction: If she did do that wouldn't Verone think it would be strange that when he had them followed he was surprised that other people called them other names like at Tej's. By the time Verone gets out they could be in witness protection or moved somewhere.
