@ Super8: Awww, man! That would make an awesome movie, but I would have gone with the 540 Hemi, since it's smaller, but makes the same amount of horsepower, unless of course the 572 has more torque. :D

@ Shaggy: Much like that. Later on the show, the Mercedes driver fly through Berlin and stole a secret device from military with his friend. But what makes the story gone crazy, he drive a 1969 Ford Talladega with 427 SOHC while his friend drive 1969 Dodge Daytona with 572 Hemi. Both will chased by Interpol and running through Autobahn.
