You realize that they put thin tires and various other handling mods on the Charger in that movie, so the stunt guys could hold it back against the Bullit Mustang? And even then they had problems running away from the Mustang :)
Back then, the Charger was the bomb-diggity :)
Still the best car chase.
And the neat thing is that you could own it, for not a whole lot of money (unlike, say, Bond's Aston Martin, or Lotus). Still can, actually. And you can pretend that you're as cool as Steve McQueen while you're driving it.
There you go!
Oh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
