A few minutes later, a Ford Maverick – the classic car, not the all-new pickup – lines up for its run. This blacked out beast is powered by a 526 cu-in V8, and despite running on “small” slicks, still gets out the hole at an incredible rate. The Maverick takes an early lead, but halfway down the strip it too loses its door, only in a much more violent way. The door ejects itself at a 90-degree angle, and smashes into the side of the protective cement barrier. The Maverick slows down, but still takes the race. We can totally understand how this happens, but we’re yet to figure out how Brian O’Conner’s Mitsubishi Eclipse lost its floor panel after shooting too much nitrous oxide.
