I just saw the Wraith on Sci Fi Channel. WOW. That car kicks ***!!! What the heck did they build that thing out of?! Who designed it? How many of them were there? I LOVE that car! Reminds me a bit of the 90 Fiero Prototype. Anyone else seen it?

I just checked Sci Fi Channel's website, and it won't be on again until November 25! Oh well.

It's built by Chrysler, called the interceptor or something like that.

Do a search on The Wraith, it will turn something up.

The wraith is a kick ass movie

the car is a dodge turbo interceptor 2.2l 4cyl with 440hp hows that for hp per litre it features cosworth heads.For a low budget 80s flick it rocks the racing schenes themselves blow away fast and the furious.I got a copy on dvd from ebay for $20 well worth it.

I love that movie, I saw it first back when the movie was pretty new back in the late 80's. I have it on VHS someplace.

Wow that's the best picture I seen yet!

I wish Crysler had mass produced THAT instead of the Viper.

I found some of the specs from various sites:

Dodge PPG Pace Car- Codename M4S
twin Garrett T25 turbos, a twincam Cosworth 16-valve cylinder head and Bosch L-Jettronic fuel injection
Top speed- 194.8mph
5 speed manual transmission
2.2 Trans Four OHC 8 valve I4 (2198 cc / 132 cid)
400 Horsepower @ 7000 RPM
300 lbs of torque
0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds (estimated)
1/4 mile: 12.9 seconds @ 104 mph (estimated)

The car was a Daytona concept car. Too bad it never made it into production.

I bought it from Best Buy on DVD a few months ago... is this a new updated release? Director's cut? Behind the scenes extras?

The Wraith is an awesome movie. It has become a cult movie now. I remember it when it first came out in 1986. It was no flop, but no big hit either. There were tons of low budget movies coming out around that time.(Has anyone seen Summer School with mark Harmon? Popular on cable now, but a flop in the 80's.) I did not go and see it when it was in theaters, but I saw it when it was released on Videotape. I loved it, and still do.

I have a movie poster of it like you would have seen in the theater.

It has, without a doubt the most awesome soundtrack that I personally have ever heard in a movie.

I even have an original copy of the soundtrack on cassette.

I love that movie.
