They used computer effects instead of real hp to make the scenes in the movie. I think its rather funny. Apparently the cars that you hear about are only used for show, and are not in the actual movie. It makes sense when you think about it. Instead of having the "modded" cars go really fast in the movie, they just probably had all of the other cars on the streets go really slow, so the "modded" ones would look fast.
Here is the link to the actual article:

Ok I went and saw the movie monday and to my amazement it wasnt that bad....it wasnt the best but I would go see it again. I mean come on....they use muscle cars througout the movie and use them at the end instead of the frickin imports. and they praise american muscle! the only part that i thought was gay was the street race(if you call it that!) they jump a bridge!!! wtf??? oh well i think i'll go see it again saturday.

I couldnt stand watching the original Gone in 60 secs. The first half of the movie was horrible and boring, but the chase scene was awesome, one of the best I've ever seen. They completely trashed that car! And when it took that jump! you could see the frame twisting as it landed! The best part was at the car wash.

I don't really like ricers either, but cars are sweet in general. Any movie or show on moddin' cars is interesting to me.
Besides there are drivers I dislike more than ricers, and thats the pigs! I hear the po-po get the smack down in this movie.
If there are movies that need trash talk directed their way, it would have to be Spy Kids.

hahaha 2F2F was great i mean you get to see ludacris in a fro in one scene and in cornrows in the next how great is that and a pink honda s2000 thats just funny and you think when you are going 50mph over the speed limit to go race to turn off your underlights so you dont draw attention to the cops...neither did paul walker this movie didnt make alot of sense but hey at least it kept me entertained.

I felt sick when they wrecked the Vette, (didnt mind the mustang so much). And I was gonna storm outta the theater and demand my money back if they wrecked the Viper 
(even though i knew they couldnt afford to do that in it)(yea i love um) but it was an alright movie esp when they brought in the American muscle
