Yes they do, but if my cloaking device fails i can still start the race by smashing backwards into a wall. This will propell me back in time to jump ahead of your stang.
I've owned 2 Pintos in the past. Best Fords I ever owned. Beat the hell out of both, barely maintained them, and the still ran, and pretty easy on gas. Both were totaled in accidents. The insurance companies were quite generous, I didn't argue. I could have put one back on the road, but for some reason the insurance company wanted it. Guess I was lucky I didn't get rear-ended in those accidents...
I am not saying that the gas tank on the pinto was wrong. But I also remember hearing that to get footage of one on fire the crew shooting the film hand to rig the car with an igniter to ignite the gas.
