Actually legend has it that Steve McQueen's highly modified Mustang had to be somewhat unmodified just to get it to slide in the corners.
The best chase movie
ever was the original
Gone In 60 Seconds (1974). The movie was made by an amateur director and cast, and it shows it. It's thoroughly awful, about as bad as a movie can get. But the whole point was to wreck 90-plus cars in less than an hour, and there are no big explosions and no fakery, no 'special effects' at all - just the best darn chase sequence ever.
And these guys don't seem to know of its existence. I'd show a clip but it would have to be 40 minutes long.
