The only way a car that kills people who are on foot is believable is if it sets up ambush attacks. The stalking approach isn't believable because it's too easy to evade a car when you're on foot and you know it's trying to run over you. Cars are limited to roads and other fairly smooth surfaces. They have a lot of momentum and a not very tight turning radius, unlike someone on foot who can stop and turn on a dime, can go into the woods, into buildings, up stairs, into bodies of water, and so on.
By the way, there's no way Christine could have gotten anywhere near enough traction to force "herself" into that narrow opening. It wasn't just the fenders that were impeding "her," but also the front bumper, which was wider than the fenders, and was made of pretty thick steel in those days. The only way "she" could have gotten in there at all would have been to crash in there at high speed.
