Part 1. This is a terrible film, full of godawful sexism, meaningless machismo, teenagers who should be working hard in school and feeling angst but aren't, and dialogue that sometimes seems written as a stanley fish parody of itself.
Part 2. Despite the above, I liked it. It knew what it was - a jingoistic hymn to being 18, driving fast and being transparently too interested in girls. It hit its story points, and the creation of the last racer from the wreck of his father and the wreck of his dead mentor's loaner was a genuine story turn, not a stupid farrago like the similar car upgrade in Grease.
