Need for Speed Page #4

Trust me when I say, it's one of a kind.

Can I see the engine?

Sure.

5.8 liter, aluminum block,

SVT supercharger and racing headers.

Yeah, it's quite nice, actually.

I wasn't expecting that.

Nor was I.

Why?

Because I'm a woman?

Or because I'm from England?

Mr. Shelby's first Cobra was built

using an AC body made in England.

It had a Ford 260 CID V8 engine.

Of course, you already knew that.

Life can be full of surprises.

I find life to be full of

people who think they're smart

because they have a fancy accent.

No offense.

Some taken.

I really love Piers Morgan.

So, this is how it goes, is it?

You're very quiet, very tough,

and then you're just constantly

cracking these hilarious jokes.

Hey, Jules.

Um...

Three million is way too much

for this car, Dino.

Well, that's what it costs.

- Let's see what Ingram thinks.

- I am what Ingram thinks,

and he thinks two at the most.

Well, three is the number.

Three is absurd. That's

why nobody has bid on it.

That's the best car

I've driven since Indy.

You haven't driven it, Dino.

Tobey's had the keys the whole time.

(LAUGHING)

Do you want me to turn around

and plug my ears

while you all get on the same page?

What's the top speed?

- 180.

- 230.

JULIA:
230?

He's talking about

a theoretical top speed.

I know that you don't really talk,

but maybe Mr. Strong and Silent

could be a little less silent.

She'll go 230.

Top NASCAR speed ever was 228.

This car is faster.

8:
00 a.m., tomorrow at Shepperton.

You get anything close

to 230 out of this car,

Ingram is going to buy it on the spot.

For 3 million.

Give or take a million.

Mostly take.

Good night, lads.

Bye.

DINO:
230?

Are you crazy? What if I can't

get the car there?

Well, maybe you can't,

but I can.

I'll drive.

Don't even think about driving that car.

(ENGINE REVVING)

Yeah, Tobey!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

What are you guys doing, huh? Huh?

Stop! Stop!

What the hell are you doing?

You don't own this car!

You don't get to joyride it!

Top speed just over 230.

JULIA:
234.

According to this.

Hey.

That was some driving, son.

And that is one hell of a car.

It's going to cost me $3 million?

That's the price.

2.7.

(ENGINE STARTING)

2.7 million?

(TOBEY LAUGHING)

What the hell were you thinking?

We sold the car, Dino.

You never could've got that

car to 230. Even on our track.

You think you're a better driver than me?

Everyone knows he's a better driver.

You know, I'm just about

done with you, Pete.

Hey! Back off, Dino.

I'll beat you on a track, the dirt,

a road, anywhere else you wanna race.

Hey, you're the man, okay?

You're the pro.

You got nothing to prove to me.
