2006 Ford Mustang GT from Death Race

The movie is a remake of a 1975 film called Death Race 2000 starring David Carradine (RIP, 1936-2009).  In the movie, prisoners are used as entertainment contestants in a no holds barred automobile race.  Contestants can outfit their cars with weapons, armors, and any other gadgets that will allow them to win races.  The prize?  Freedom.  But there’s always a catch…

Thin on plot and character, Death Race excels in pure metal to metal action.  Cars are beefed up to look more like war wagons than race cars.  It’s videogame-like in the way cars are driven in and around the race track.  And there’s no shortage of bullets hailing death to the unlucky.

Jason Statham in the lead role pretty much delivers his standard tough guy character.  Death Race is Jason’s 3rd movie car entry in this blog by the way.  He drove an Audi A8L in Transporter 3 and a MINI Cooper S in The Italian Job

In Death Race he’s driving the Frankenstein Monster, a 2006 Ford Mustang GT, “outfitted with a Roush supercharged 5.4L 3V Ford V8 Engine. ‘Frankenstein’s Monster’ is armed with 2 mounted mini-guns that shoot 3,000 rounds (of real bullets) per minute, flamethrowers and napalm.” (source: IMDB)

The new generation mustangs are nice, powerful, and tough-looking.  But they’re nothing like the one Jason Statham drove in the movie.
