Looks no worse than the PT to me...
I mean, Christopher Lee doing a quadruple somersault off of the catwalk in RotS is every bit as distracting and disbelief-inducing. And Ewan and Hayden see-sawing on a Legend-of-Zelda-style rock platform floating on lava?
Hayden skydiving into a hovercar?
It's not worse, but it certainly stands out more in a movie that is CG-light in all other respects.
It also stands out more because it is just a car stunt, which you'd expect would be done for real, especially in a Hollywood movie with a budget of $60,000,000. The Dukes of Hazzard did hundreds of real car stunts on a TV show budget (setting a few real-world records in the process), and plenty of other TV shows did quite a few of them as well (The Fall Guy, Knight Rider, Hardcastle and McCormick, CHiPs, The A-Team, T.J. Hooker, Magnum, P.I., MacGyver, and so on).
