But my favourite are the following:

Gone in 60seconds
Driven was pretty good. I'm a big fan of cart!

I have this one favourite, but i don't recall the name.
I used to have the tape back in Romania when i was like 7-10 years old.
It shows a race between a bunch of rich assess, for a lot of cash. The featured cars include a red lamborghini countach that skips over water (like one of those flat rocks). The movie is sick. I wish i remebered what it was called.

I dont know if this was from speedzone or not...but maybe a part of the movie the cars were running away from the cops..and cars changed colours with water...to hide from the cops...

does this sound familar?

this is a cheesey movie...but has some nice s14's and silvias in it..
its called Redline or Redlined?

Sometimes we don't do things we want to do so others wont know we want to do them.

I found it for rent, rented it and watched. Is really good IMO. Brings back childhood memories.
