I think it was a 69 Camaro (gills on the quarters), but anyway they didn't waste a Challenger in the process. There were 3 Challengers used in the movie, but it is speculative as to what engines were in the cars. I thought the movie actually sucked as far as story line, but the driving sequences were just frickin AWESOME! Anyone who hasn't seen this movie can't truly claim to be a MOPAR fanatic, IMHO.
