I beleive that is true also. The mustang just couldnt handle the
jumps. The charger is a bigger car isnt it? Probly came stock with
stronger suspention. I know for sure that the sound effects from the
mustang were actually from a V12 Ford GT, I beleive. That car chase is
amazing in everyway, even the mistakes they made. The same white VW
bug drives by them like 5 times!
