I've recently watched Ronin. That S8 was augmented by Nitrous Oxide and bigger injectors, etc... (The "Wheelman" requested the bits).
Had a surprising amount of trouble catching those Peugeot 406's though!

Wasnt there a stupid "taxi (the film) style" pug 406 that had like a 5 litre engine or something? Probably not the ones in Ronin but Id like to know some info on them.
