Identify This 80's Movie...

I'm trying to think of the name of this movie.. It's old, around 80's I'm pretty sure..

It was about this guy who got revenge on some other guys.. The way he did it was by driving his black car at very high speeds and taking said other guys out..

HUGE explosions but the black car and guy always got out alive to kill again..

Winner gets two thumbs up.

Trivia: The Wraith is basically a loose remake of High Plains Drifter.

The Crow and The Wraith are very similar. Both movies even have a character named "Skank".

I remember The Wraith because it was a PG-13 movie, but there was a decent amount of nudity in it (very hot chick too). Kinda like Beastmaster did. Ahhhh, the joys of being young and finding nudity in movies not rated "R"....
