It gets notice in some circles. Chrysler's revival of the Dodge Challenger was due in part to this movie. Tarantino's Death Proof references it heavily - the second set of girls go for a joyride in a Vanishing Point Challenger. I became interested in it and other "car" movies from that era through reading/seeing interviews and the hype for Death Proof/Planet Terror. IMO, Vanishing Point is the best of the "car/road" movies I've sampled from that era which admittedly is not very many. (Too many genres, too little time.) Others of interest are Two-Lane Blacktop, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, Bullitt, Gone in 60 Seconds (1974) and of course the homage Death Proof. Some say Death Proof is boring, too chatty, etc. but Kurt Russell is excellent and the lengthy chase between Russell's Charger (he drives a Nova in the beginning) and the girls' Challenger is terrific.
