TGIF - Car Chase Video!

Here's a rocking little video clip to help you relax on a busy Friday: the car chase scene from Bullitt!

Yeah, yeah, I know, we've all seen this one many times before, but somehow it just never gets old. About the cars used in the scene, Wikipedia says:

Two 1968 390 V8 Ford Mustang fastbacks (325 hp) with four-speed manual transmissions were used for the chase scene, both owned by Ford Motor Company and part of a promotional loan agreement with Warner Bros. The Mustangs' engines, brakes and suspensions were heavily modified for the chase by veteran car racer Max Balchowsky. Ford Motor Company had also originally loaned two Ford Galaxie sedans that were intended to be used in the chase scenes, but the producers found the cars entirely too heavy to put through jumps over the hills of San Francisco without the cars' suspensions being severely damaged. The Galaxie sedans were replaced with two 1968 375 hp 440 Magnum V8-powered Dodge Chargers. The engines in both Chargers were left largely unmodified, but the suspensions were mildly upgraded to cope with the demands of the stunt work.
