When Rodriguez was approached to play a love interest to a street racer, she had only been driving cars for a couple of years and didnt even have a license. Since fast and fancy driving was a prerequisite for the role, Rodriguez joined her fellow cast members at the Las Vegas School for Racing. Even though there were stunt drivers for the movie, it was essential that she learn how to do "doughnuts" (360° spins) so she could recreate crucial scenes in the movie. Rodriguez was disappointed with her stint at the racing academy because, "they wouldnt let me go over 80 miles and hour," she says. "The guys got to drive much faster."
