The first thing I noticed was that it appeared to be an automatic, which the TV version definitely was NOT.

[@144wychwood]

I noticed too but not surprising as manual transmissions are rare now - unfortunately.

This Is GREAT 👍 ! I watched Speed Racer In The 1960s ! I'm 61 Years Old , But Still Young At Heart ! love That Car ! THANK YOU !

Somebody needs to make a real life version of the flying mini-sub from _Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea_ that actually flies. That would be the greatest of them all.

The Mach 5 Looks Amazing!

[@MrKboat]

I'm 47 years old & remember like yesterday running as fast as possible straight home from school to see Speed Racer!!!! This is a very good job... The movie guys should've contacted this man for the use of his car... Oh by the way, The Buttons Are On The Steering Wheel sir... Hate it when folks speak before confirming their comment/opinion....

[@ghman1962]

Looking forward to the next visit of the Real Mach 5.

[@codydavis595]

My life's goal is to see under the hood. I bet it has an inline 6.

[@FredFukkinBear]

He said it does 180 mph. I doubt you're gonna get that from an inline 6.

[@dominicesposito4394]

Facts it's probably like a 6lt V12

[@boataxe4605]

Cody Davis Those who paid attention heard him say that it’s a C4 underneath (that would be a Corvette) so it has an LS1 V8, Hence 180MPH.

[@wingsofrichard1393]

Hey i just thought of something wheres the license plate?

[@usa12gate]

That is soooooo cool ! ! !

[@JS-ob4oh]

And kids my age remember watching it in Japan on Japanese television - Mach-Go-Go-Go. BTW: The helmet isn't going to save you if that convertible flips upside-down.

[@knightshousegames]

Thats when you hit the D button and deploy the roof deflector.

[@skull4539]

Yo anyone know where I can buy a replica n how much?

[@JacobSeed_2018]

You could probably have a fabricator build one for you, not sure how much it would cost though.

[@sjjssjsu7428]

There is a actual body kit on eBay for 3999 dollars that you can paint.

[@L3RK]

pretty sure the one on the show was a 5-speed. not an automatic

[@jagergerg9771]

It looks really good I wish he would give a grantor of it

[@imthedorf1964]

l'd like to see the Racer X car built next.

[@lordmjh]

Yes because I can see how safety and a helmet is going to really help you traveling and 180 miles an hour in a convertible and snake Oiler of the car acrobatic team hits your car off the road. Does anybody else see this being a problem with this equation?

[@ShougHell]

You guys should try to do the movie Mach 6, the movie Shooting Star or Augury! (Racer X's standard car and his T-180.)

[@bigchief4660]

🤘

[@knightshousegames]

When you press the B button, does it add the belts to the wheels and supply 5000 horsepower equally to all 4 wheels? He should have put it up on the jump jacks so we could see the undercarriage

[@penguinmaster7]

well, now i know what my car is gonna be.

[@ghman1962]

That sounds like a great idea ! How cool would that be ?

Someone please explain to me how having saw blades on your car is legal.

muy buen modelo pero le falta mucho para ser exacto al original lo bueno es que funciona y pone a volar la imaginación de los niños como tambien la de nosotros que todavia me emociona ver al mach 5 y los capítulos de Meteoro de mi niñez de esos años que no olvidare una serie de televisión que esperaba verla todas las tardes a las 5 pm sin falta peleaba por ello.-

[@fluffernaut9905]

The cockpit looks nothing like the actual cartoon Mach 5 I didn't see and buttons on the steering column and the view screen was out from instead of in the dash like in the show...on a softer note I didn't see any jump jacks

[@oz1141]

The cartoon Mach 5, was also manual.

[@justssj4chillin8]

It wouldn't be street legal if it had all that stuff and the mach 5 from the 1960's and 2008 had the manual with clutch

[@ppman6962]

Mach 6?

[@ObiTrev]

I grew up watching Speed Racer on VHS in the 90s and it was the coolest thing I had ever seen. I saw the movie and was not impressed by it. Having seen movies like Bullet, it shaped how a car chase should be in my mind, and how a Speed Racer should be. I would ave loved to see a straight conversion of the animated series to Live Action. It would have been about The Mach 5 as a vehicle and the thrill of racing, rather than what the movie became. Imagine a Speed Racer based off NASCAR in the 60s

[@adrielle1i23]

DO MACH 6

[@takkoy8658]

I really liked the Mach 5 replica but ... And I??

[@chand62]

You've got to be kidding - this car looks nothing like the Mach 5 in the show. I've seen plenty of other Mach 5's on the internet that looks just like the one in the show. The one in the movie was a travesty also

[@touchmadown]

I was born in 1992 and I remember the cartoon from the '60s. I'll make sure my kids will remember the same series and not that crappy movie.

[@zanegandini5350]

Much better than the one in the movie. That movie was horrible in comparison to the original cartoon.

Sorry that Mark five is a phony the real Mike five was a manual transmission it may look like it but without that manual it’s not real

[@raularrese3926]

Take the mirrors off please, You ruined it ...

[@alexgreek5992]

several critical mistakes...for example the front blades were for cutting down TREES...since the blades don't come anywhere near meeting the in middle, the center trees would most certainly collide with the front of the MACH FIVE. nice try...the announcer does seem SO sure of himself...a true fan would have spotted stuff like this right away...GOD is in the details

[@oz1141]

The cartoon Mach 5 was manual, and the wheels had 6 holes not 5.
