That was pretty good.

And Scott, you were saying something funny recently about FL being the
home of "Large Print Edition," pavement markings or some such thing?

The name of that site ought to be gullibert.com. Fake. 100%.

Hardly anything matches the audio. The acceleration doesn't come
*anywhere near* a 0-100/10 sec. time. He's running through the gears
and the engine is screaming but the rate of acceleration hardly varies.
I've been 140 mph and that footage ain't even half of that.

French buses and other traffic must average about 100 mph too. I'd be
surprised to find out the "Ferrari" ever tops 60.

Real.

When I saw it on videotape, it did.

Why was there no wind noise?

I have a feeling the soundtrack was recorded separately and cleaned up.
It just seems that way... like a professionally made movie of the era.

It was a lot more in sync than the soundtrack for "Bullitt" and we know
that chase scene was real stunt work....

I have seen that film before. However, my understanding is that the car
might not actually be a Ferrari but Claude Lalouch's own Mercedes-Benz.
The director has never revealed the names of car and driver to this day.
Not even the gendarmes tried and tried to extract the detail from him.
So much urban legend and so much rumours about that film that we don't
know what is true and whatnot.

Mr Lalouch also chose the ideal time of the year to film during August
when Paris is almost a ghost town with massive exodus of residents to
the seashores and other holiday spots.

I found a probably best explanation and story behind that film he

He should have driven through Italy. Italian police do not ticket nor
bother to chase Ferraris for speeding. Not an urban legend. I have
seen this first-hand on the A1 between Bologna and Milan.

Do they ticket anyone for speeding?

Yes. Ferraris get a free pass... because they're -- uh - Ferraris.
