INFO

    I grew up on this series of fast cars and villians. This series was never critically acclaimed but for young car fans , it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. The series is based on the driver , Speed Racer , and his super-fast, incredibly equipped Mach 5. The original Speed Racer was actually a manga named Mach Go Go Go. "Go" being the Japanese word for "five". That is why there is a number 5 on the side of the car. Speed's original name was Go Mifune, after legendary Japanese film star Toshiro Mifune. That answers the age-old question of why there was a letter "M" on his helmet and jacket.
