If you use the same slow shutter speed (1/4), and trailing-curtain-sync flash (with -1 stop of flash exposure compensation) you'll still get all the trails of lights, etc., you see in your original photograph, but the detail on the car will look much better. Try it, if you've got a flash that will do that.
