I'm sure most people already remember DiCaprio driving a 92' GT in The Departed, but I just think it's awesome someone involved in the movie, maybe a set designer or whomever is in charge of that aspect chose this car for Leo's character to drive.

Haha. I'm not sure, but I could've sworn the car was a stick too when he was in the car with his cousin when the camera focused on the cousin for his dialogue and then the camera moved back to Leo for his lines. I thought I remember when the camera moves back over it shows the console and you can see the shifter.


It's also cool how they just didn't take some stock GT, but instead that car has 95' Cobra R wheels, looks lowered, and in another scene I could hear the exhaust which could've been anything, but it sounded like chambered Flowmasters.
