Yes, I love this adaptation. The score is ingenious and the actors really sold the story. Carpenter uses a lot of panning in this movie...around corners, around concrete pylons, and more. It's smart because we are instantly in that particular character's POV for a moment and it's very effective. The only scene that leaves me scratching my head is
when Repperton tries to out run Christine down THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! Smh. I get there were probably time constraints and Carpenter probably couldn't shoot the complex scene in the book where Repperton runs up an embankment at a state park. But, it's a pretty good assumption that a man can't outrun a speeding car. Ha. I guess you could argue that Repperton thought Arnie was driving and didn't actually think he'd murder him...but this is only a minor complaint. After all, it is a movie about a possessed car.
The opening scene where you only hear the engine rumbling is classic. Unsettling.

Regarding your spoiler, I toke it as carpenter whanted to get the shot of Christine on fire wich is awsome

You may be right. That might be the deleted scene he meant.
Yeah, same here about the remake. My vision of Christine is not the 1958 Plymouth Fury as seen in the original, but a solid black 1960 Plymouth Fury as shown here:
