That makes sense. I wondered how people knew that.

I don't get the G4 reference. Although I do know that some of the cars had numbers that corresponded to the birthdates of some people in the production.

I also heard that the name 'McQueen' was in reference to someone who worked on the film and not Steve McQueen. I thought for sure that they were making a 'Bullitt' reference.
