Corrected entry: Shelby takes Ford for a hair raising test spin. However, he does so in a $9M sports car that is designed for absolute aerodynamics and weight management. Doesn't it seem strange that it has two seats?

Correction: The prototype did have 2 seats.

Corrected entry: While Molly and Ken are talking on the side of the road a UPS truck drives by that has the new logo on the side of it, which wasn't used until around 2005.

Correction: If you freeze frame the truck, you can tell it's the logo with the the bowed package above the shield which started in 1961 (http://logok.org/ups-logo/). But since you need to use freeze frame to see it, it's an invalid mistake anyway.

Factual error: Throughout the movie, Ken wears a pair of Ray Ban Balorama (4089) sunglasses. His pair however, has the Ray Ban logo on the temples; in the 1960s, Ray Ban sunglasses didn't feature the logo on the temples or lenses.

Question: At various points in the film the car brakes are glowing red hot, would this happen in real life or is it for show?

Answer: Watch any NASCAR short track night race where heavy braking is required, the brake rotors glow at every turn.

Answer: I watched this movie with my father, who actually participated in Autocross races in the past. He says from first hand experience that this is indeed real. The breaks get so heated from use in the race during the rapid slowing and going that they glow hot. This is why there are racing grade breaks and it's unwise to try and race without them.

Agreed. My dad is a former race car mechanic and he said that this absolutely happens all the time.
