You all wanna know the real moot point here? Ok...here goes. Bleach is not pixie dust. And I seriously doubt the slicks on that car were vitage '60s rubber...that's the dumbest thing I've heard all day (and I went to work today). Bleach does NOT melt rubber...why do you think people wear rubber gloves while using bleach? Perhaps it might in a tire like F1 cars use that contains super super soft rubber, but not on your run of the mill slick. It's corrosive properties aren't strong enough. The Charger they used in that scene was a replica anyway...no working blower and probably a smaller engine. It was just for show. You think whoever owned that Chager would have allowed that? And the studio didn't build their own just for the purpose of totaling a perfectly good car. The lift/smoke effect was attained by using two hydraulic bars at the front end of the car to throw the front end up while they used extremely hard slicks on the back end (not bias ply, but almost as hard as poly glass tires). Does this settle this little deal? The movie was a piece of shit and doesn't deserve to be debated this much.
