Although it's not necessarily a car movie, another classic car chase scene is the one from The French Connection, starring Gene Hackman.
Along with the movie Bullitt, the car chase sequences are often said to be some of the best in movie history. Hackman actually drove the car at high speeds through uncontrolled traffic and red lights, with a camera in the backseat of the car. No special effects there. It's a treat to watch.
And no, Terry, I didn't see it at the theatre...

TVO one night had Bullitt and the French Connection back to back...What a good day that was.
