This will be the Blues Brothers, the "Bluesmobile" (a 1974 Dodge Monaco) not only is the hero but also one of the stars! Go to www.bluesmobile.net to read about the hero.

Agreed. Definitely the best.
Closely followed by the one at the end of the ORIGINAL Italian Job.

Heretic! BURN!!!! That is no Plymouth! It is the mighty 1968 Dodge Charger!
But you're right, it's the best car chase in film history. 2nd is in Ronin, 3rd is a split between the original Italian job and the mini chase in the Bourne Identity.

+1 on the Bullitt car chase sequence. The best ever shot, thus still the standard by which all others are measured.
Somewhat hijackingly, but perhaps a little bit more relevant to this Board, what's the best space chase sequence, relative to where Serenity is run to ground on Mr. Universe's moon? Now, there's a video game meant to happen.

Just my opinion, of course.

I'm not sure if it qualifies as a "car chase" but I like all the chases in The Road Warrior. That and the chase in Ronin.

Taxi, Taxi. The French version,
and
The Transporter
However Bullit probably is still the best.

Not to be picky here, but the best car chases are those with very little CGI. It's just the cars, drivers, and cameras. A space chase (exciting as they are) is by it's very nature entirely a CGI (or at least green-screen) event. You just can't get the same feel.
Add to that the fact that space chases routinely violate the laws of physics (something that can't be done in a good car chase), and you really fall short of the standard set by a good car chase.
That said, I really liked the Mule chase in BDM (due primarily to the way it was filmed), and the crazy ivan on Whitefall.

I'm surpised no one has picked "The French Connection". I did'nt pick it because it's only 1 car, and it's chasing a train.
