Yeah, also the car used was actually some old Mercedes, not a Ferrari. I saw that years ago and read all about it.

In addition to some of the great stuff already mentioned, I saw part of a movie, back when I was a teenager (mid 80's), that I thought was pretty frikkin sweet. It was the first time I saw heel toe down shifting, and it is what started my intrest in the "physics" of driving.
My memory is sketchy, perhaps someone here has seen it and can fill in the gaps. The movie is set in Los Angeles and a young undercover cop is trying to get in with some high end car thieves. In the scene I'm thinking of he's driving a 911 (I think) down a twisty narrow residential street, in and out of cars, heel toeing as he goes, I remember trying to understand what he was doing. I vaguely remember a hot blonde being there too We'll that's all I got, anyone have any idea what the hell I'm talking about? |

Interesting... I had no idea! A teacher introduced me to that video in an automotive technology class and I guess he didn't know that it was a Mercedes.. Wikipedia had the specifics about the film and the car... Just read up on it lol |

Le Mans and I haven't noticed anyone else mention Grand Prix!!!
Those IMO have the best noises and racing of any car movie, hands down. Those are the only two Blu Rays I own. |
Wangan Midnight for the JDM goodness, there's a miata at about the 7 minute mark. FULL MOVIE:

I cant believe I forgot Jackie Chan's Thunderbolt. Its free on youtube, endorsed by Jackie himself. So many awesome cars and racecars we never got here.

I'm gonna stand up for Saml01 and say that I actually watched Initial D, and while it is a Jap drifto movie, it is still pretty decent. I like it the way I like the F&F movies; I don't respect it, but for some reason it is entertaining.

Would sending an executioner be a little too strong? :dunno:

Love the beast: Targa Tasmania in a Ford Falcon, but much more then that.
And while not strictly a car movie, if you have any petrol running through your vains, you need to see TT3D. A movie following the underdog Guy Martin through to the Isle of Man TT. |
+1 For "Love the Beast"
