Seero helps McQueens fan destroy their mustangs
by Matt Burns on August 18, 2008

Got a spare Mustang laying around? Wanna tear up San Fran, Bullitt style? Seero.com will help. The site plays back the film in one window, while tracking McQueens iconic route via Google Maps in another. Keep in mind, the producers used two heavily modified 390 CID V8 Mustangs to jump those hills so your ’stang might not survive the run. Plus, one of those cars were scraped after the scene. King of Cool not your thing? Burt Reynolds’ Smokey and the Bandit chase is on the site too but because of the clunky site, we can’t figure out how to link to it. Sorry

On a side note, the Seero is designed to broadcast actually driving. Great example is Alex Roy evading Oklahoma police and clips from Gumball 3000.

Cannonball Run ready Audi R8 ‘Blackbird’

This isn’t Burt Reynolds car. There are so many gadgets seamless built into this Audi R8 that it blows our, and Alex Roy’s, mind. If there ever was a car built specifically for underground, coast-to-coast, high-speed racing, this is it. Kind of makes you wonder if it was built to beat Roy’s 31 hour, 4 minute New York to Santa Monica Pier run.

What we think is the Audi’s complete inventory:

  • Liquid-cooled infrasonic wave pulse generator (Might be to disrupt the infrared laser and radar detector guns but we really don’t know)
  • Four GPS units
  • Uniden Police Scanner
  • Valentine One Radar detector
  • Rearview mirror Passport 9500 radar detector
  • WiFi
  • Tablet PC with Google Earth
  • Dual Bluetooth GPS units
  • Cobra CB Radio
  • PA with full police sirens
  • Take down lights
  • Radar gun
  • Laser speed detector gun
  • Three SD video cams
  • Switchable rear-lights
  • Rear Strobe lights
  • Remote control exhaust system
