Wow! what a car!...and what a driver!....so close to all sorts of bad stuff without a hitch.  I'll bet Steve McQueen would have liked to drive that Mustang.

He's got to have compromising pictures of people in high places to have so much of Los Angeles available to play in.

Thanks Jaybee.  That woke me right up.

Did you notice the 4 cop cars following the white bronco at low speed with lights flashing.Amazing driving but I doubt it was done on one set of tires.

If you look close there were tire tracks already down in a lot of the scenes. Probably done in many takes.

Go to the link below and there are pictures of the shoot. The main picture has a link in the lower right hand corner that says view all 64 photo's. Shows trucks full of  tires and other interesting photo's.

I suspect drifters spend more money on tires and rear brakes than everything else put together.

weird.. thing.. that was all recorded only a few miles from where i live and i have been down most of those streets..

i cannot imaging all the LAPD or Private security that were there blocking traffic was just itching to go chase that guy..   now that the video is out.. other people in la will be attempting those moves during high speed chases..

i don't think they will win at the reverse slide drift ..  only AUDI quattros and a few porsches are able to perform that with 4wheel drive. .

one some item I noticed, the vid says only all wheel drive Mustang around.

Ford built a 4 wheel drive Mustang back in the 60's...  Not nearly as neat, powerful, low to the ground as this modern car is

I notice that also.
I posted something on the 1965 AWD Mustang a while back.

You never have time to do it right the first time but you always have time to do it again.

Hey, that's very cool! In years back Detroit experimented with a lot of things which were just a little ahead of their time.

The trouble with youtube is that I start clicking on related videos and spend way too much time watching them.
Did you see the spoof of the Ken Block style video?

yes...  about 15 views into each vid, you can see the car interior a little. I think some may have sound too, not sure yet.
