havent watched many car movies, but i liked talladega nights, it was okay with some cheap humour here and there, the fast and the furious series arent bad either

I'm honestly not a big fan of any racing movies. I didn't hate Talledega Nights or The Fast and the Furious, but neither of them were great. Cars was alright, but I've always felt it was the weakest Pixar movie, although it's one of the best looking Blu-rays.

Got a soft spot for Days of Thunder myself. I remember my Dad, brother and I seeing it in the theater together, when it came out.

Well, Bullitt's considered to have one of the best car chases in cinematic history. But not really a movie about cars.

that's debatable: Ford did design a mustang and name it after the film. Not sure why they did that after a film that is not about cars.
