That was actually correct. The Camera placement just showed it from different angles from two moving vehicles so it appeared that they messed up. Watch the chase again and you’ll see what I mean.
When the Charger hit the parked Car where a Camera was mounted it was a screw up but they left it in anyway.
The Charger had to be detuned so the Mustang could keep up.
Two of favorite Cars. If only I could hit the Lotto. LOL
The VW showed up in other totally unrelated scenes to the chase. I kinda figured someone on the crew had the bug so they used it several times.
Had a 66 Charger and a 69 Charger. The 69 had the 440 and never saw a filling station it didn’t like and it preferred to drink Ethyl.(premium today) Just loved that body style and it is still nice today. Talk about Ethyl today and the kids look at you like you belong in a funny farm.
