Keepin' it real, Alex decided to use cars you actually see at the street races that most of us can actually afford, and in order to avoid having to fake speed, he used cars that were actually fast: The lead car is a 300hp turbo'd Integra GS-R. The "bad guy" car is '90 Mustang, all motor, 400hp. The two sidekick cars are a 3.2L Corrado VR6, and a H22-powered, nitrous juiced Civic hatchback.

"A major risk that we took was that we only had one of each of the picture cars. If anything happened to any of the cars during the shoot, we simply would have been screwed. We couldn't afford to duplicate any of the cars, so we took the risk.", says Alex. Luckily,. all of the cars held up well throughout the grueling 12 night shoot.
