Revealing mistake: During the big car chase (in the 1950 Mercury Monterrey), Cobretti throws the toggle switch for a nitrous boost, and the speedometer immediately leaps to well over 100 mph. However, all the exterior shots show that the cars are barely going 35 or 40 mph, in traffic.

Suggested correction: He triggers the nitro when he's well behind the other car, in a wide open area, with no traffic around. His car is from behind, accelerating into the distance. The shot changes to the speedometer. Then the shot changes again, with him having caught the other car, now both going slower in a different area. This area has different scenery, the road markings are different, and it has traffic. They've simply cut the "catching them up" stage and cut back to when there's action.
