If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Dad was 14 here....lol. His dad owned the local Ford dealership, so he and his brothers got to spec-out, order, and drive some pretty hot Blue Oval and Mercury cars in the 60's and early 70's. His favorite was a 1969 black/red Mach 1 428CJ he was allowed to order for the showroom.
Dad likes to tell the story of his high-school age brother taking the big block Cyclone that my grandad brought home out for a joy ride late one night. He jumped it over a hill and ripped out the exhaust. His buddies pushed it up the driveway and parked it like nothing had happened. Dad says that Grandpa left the breakfast table to go to work and it sounded like somebody cranked a race car in the driveway.

Great car chase but some of the vehicle sound effects are a bit goofy.

I have driven that route many a time. At legal speeds, sadly.

Bought a copy of that movie a few years ago, just for the driving scene.

Man, those cars sounded good,(Bullitt) but pretty clear handling was not their strength.....

The French Connection had a really good "chase" scene in it, too. Gene Hackman stared.

Probably the best car chase scene ever, the driver of Dodge Charger Bill Hickman was a stunt driver and he also appeared in The French Connection as one of the Fed's. That poor 68 Mustang GT 390 had to be beefed up just to keep up with stock 68 Doge Charger 440 Magnum.
