High-tech car chases often involve fast moving stunts made possible with the use of CGI and special effects.  In the movie, Wanted, the assassin Fox (played by Angelina Jolie), had to save Wesley (played by James McAvoy) from getting killed by another assassin in the middle of a busy street.  To do so, Fox executed a perfectly clean sweep by skidding sideways on the asphalt with the passenger door open and catching Wesley gently onto the passenger seat.  Can’t miss the scene, it’s in the movie trailer.

What I like about the scene though is the car the she used…a sleek, red Dodge Viper SRT-10.  Not sure what year, but it was one hell of a nice car driven by gorgeous woman.  What happened after the rescue is a fast pace shoot out in the evening city streets with the viper jumping off a bus that it had just knocked down for a landing.  A really neat car chase.

Dodge Vipers are fantastic looking sports car.  Truly modern and sleek.  Yet, retaining the American muscle vibe that’s missing in most modern day sports car design.  Built to compete with Corvettes, Porsche 911, and Ferrari 550′s, Chrysler heavily marketed the Viper in the racing circuits and even served as a pace car a handful of times for the Indianapolis 500.
