And of course the Jaguar gag - "Beautiful car. I wish it ran."
Always wanted to know the shunt the Cobra was involved in off camera near the end while driving through the LA river.
Best scene in the movie was the opening, NYC, you hear the Ferrari but do not see it, but you KNOW what is coming.

Best real life LA Ferrari audio/visual, riding my bike to work in Beverly Hills on Wilshire Blvd at the LA Country Club- I hear a V12, it is coming quick, also the noise of a V-8 with vacuum secondaries fully open, look back and sure enough, Daytona, with a co-worker glued to the rear bumper NASCAR style, driving a '73 Gran Safari wagon with a 455... When I got to work, he proudly advise, He is my Witness! Where else can you see that?
