Any CGI disqualifies it from being pure car chase. If above-average Joe cannot do it in his car then I do not find it exciting.

Fair, but do yourself a favor and Google "Fast & Furious" +car stunts. I just did. The vast majority of those stunts were real world which I already knew. My problem with car crashes in movies is when they blow up like they had pounds of C-4 in them. Stupid crap for 16 year old boys.

Okay, but you should remember that the characters in the series are professional car thieves and street racers and not Joe-Six-Pack. You may want to check out this url: http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/04/secrets-behind-the-three-most-amazing-stunts-in-furious-7

That and other things I've read verify that the vast majority of F&F car stunts are real. Not saying the franchise is all that good...just saying the car stunts are real-time and real-world. Of course when the sequence shows the driver behind the wheel with the scenery whizzing past, it is green screen. Best.
