Click on the other youtube link to the same video and you can read a few more comments.

In fact, the car was a Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9, NOT a Formula 1 race car. The driver was its owner, the film director Claude Lelouch, who is a car aficionado, but certainly no professional. (He was the ONLY person in the car.) The engine sounds were later over-dubbed, using Lelouch's Ferrari 275GTB.

There is some good videography in there. Although, out of the sites in Paris, why not get a shot of the tower? Granted the arch was in there, but I wanted to see the tower!!!

Like fast cars? I mean Really fast cars? Watch this vid.

It makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. The transmission whine is just a beautiful sound! Great combination of VERY fast car and VERY good driver :bowdown:

Not as fast as my 2.8 MJ obviously but pretty damn quick :yes:

Is there a thread somewhere for us to put "our favourite internet videos"?

That would have been cool if he would have been on the track and NOT streat racing in downtown Paris :shake:

 

Then you definitely should not watch this video:

They should have run over him at the end :shake:

 

This may be a personal question, but was your sense of fun and excitement killed in a street race? :clapping:

 

I think the first vid was filmed from a scooter at 10mph then speeded up and dubbed after smiley-transport005.gif

 

I actually think it does look speed up in a few parts.

About every 3 months on the local news you see an 8 yr old that was killed after a street racer hit the car he was in or a 17 yr old on her way to work is killed or a 36 yr old mother is on her way home and gets mowed down in the crosswalk do to someone not man enough to take it to the track soapbox.gif

 

So , no I have no sense of fun and excitement for someone that has not matured enough to be driving that they have to race on the street when they could go to the track :shake:

 

 

Now take me to Mid-Ohio or National trails and the race is on :thumbsup:
