I'm just gonna put it out there, the box has the advantage here. Even though the LeMans has an extra 5 horse over the Caprice, the Caprice has the delivery and weight advantage.
@@paulsheehan5010 I had a 68 Mustang and it only had a lap belt from the factory. Had a 69 Ranchero as well and it too was only equipped with a lap belt.
I had the ‘86 Caprice, a ‘79 Impala coupe and a Parisienne around there too. All that platform but and Old dude up the road growing up had the two-door version of this Pontiac. I think it was a copper-ish color. I always wanted that car. I’d love to have any of my squares back. Even that taxi he wrecked into would suit me. Now I have an ‘87 Silverado 😂
There are two different green LeMans which gets switched many times. The one with all of the dents and which gets crashed is a hardtop and is a Luxury LeMans (2 horizontal bars on grille), the one without the dents and which interior shots are made from is a pillared sedan (non luxury model-1 horizonal bar on grille). The Luxury model did not come as a pillared sedan and the plain model did not come as a hardtop.
What you say is correct for model year 1972, which was the first year for the "Luxury Lemans", and the last year of the intermediate 4 door hardtops, that year offered only on the Luxury Lemans, unlike 1970 and 1971 when Pontoac offered the 4 door intermediate hardtop as a Lemans and as a Lemans Sport. The hardtop in this movie clip appears to be a 1972 Luxury Lemans that has been largely de-chromed.
The LeMans that was wrecked was already a wreck...probably rusted out and patched n sprayed for the scene. Notice the car the interior shots are filmed in is a standard sedan, the one in the chase is a pillarless hardtop.
George Jacob Thats because its a different car. The wrecked one is a 4 door hardtop that was likely a rustbucket with a quick paint job. So they actually didnt destroy that nice original sedan.
The suspension improvements they made on GM cars between 1972 and 1987 would have the Caprice a much better handling car. I've driven both and the mid 80's GM cars handle ten times better than anything made in 1972.
Chris Spangler Yes they’re both uses truck suspension, but the guy meant they did minor tweaks for later G-bodies in after in 1977 and later in 1986 that made them less lousy and little more responsive still, no where near the the handling characteristics of a car with uni-body technology and independent rear suspension, although this truck suspension is much more tougher.
GM never did handle.Mopars were the tight handling cars back then,they hugged corners and were ten times better !! I am a car collector and owned them all..I own many Mopars and GM,Fords..Mopars are truly better ,quicker,better handlers !!
I was rooting for the cop. Did not care for the punk. So I guess he played his part very well. I found one of them when I was 15 sitting in the field a two-door same color. I don't know if he's a luxury Coop or not but didn't I have the engine transmission. My dad talked me out of it. He was right it wasn't worth $150 back then.
The Caprice would have been on the borderline of having a driver's side airbag. The 72 leMans didn't have one and the lap and shoulder belts were two separate belts and not conducive for a thug in a car chase to buckle up even if he were inclined to do so.
If the Lemans driver had worn both the lap and separate shoulder belts, he probably wouldn't even have had a headache, but thugs aren't usually too safety conscious.
Anyone know what kind of chassis is under the lemans? I know alot of changes happened in 71' for the impala/caprice but not sure on pontiac. If it still has a similar chassis to a 70' or 60s impala/caprice, i think that 80s box chevy wouldve knocked that fckin pontiac around like it was styrofoam hahaha
That's Pontiac look like in the movie French connections Gene Hackman drove chasing the guy in subway Both. Car is fixing upper wasn't bad hit other movie cars get destroy in. Movie
It looks like a bunch of box Chevy fans... I'm sorry but I think that Pontiac looks better the box Chevys just to square with no Style... when they designed the box Chevys it looks like they used a straightedge and a ruler no free hand movement whatsoever...

steve mitchell Uh, no, i'm not that kind of person, i just personally prefer a 70's-90's boxy American car to a craptastic 60's American shitbox when a Japanese or European car of the same age are better, and its called a Box Chevy because of its body style, i know you're just saying that as a way to insult box chevy's but whatever.

The LeMans did not stand a chance with a driver with such a big heavy nose that weighs in at at least 500lbs.
IF YOU HAD YOUR SEATBELT ON, YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL!
YEAH! I KNOW!
Nah ur gunna hit it those cars seat belts suck lol
Probably just a lap belt in the Le Mans.
@@inverted311 seat and shoulder belts were required in 1968.

A basic, 4 door LeMans like that would be a fun car to own.
They could have used the 1992 redesigned Caprice. They were too much in love with these M body cars even till the late 90s

Love that green steering wheel. They just don’t do that stuff anymore. Yes I’m old 😂
Who knew that driving at 30mph could be so dramatic.

The French Connection car chase
😊
Lol don't mess up the fun of it
I didn't notice that and when you look it's very apparent!
Why do people always think the chase has to be good if they wreck the cars?
eldo59 totally agree
I agree poor lemans and caprice
The LeMans that was wrecked was already a wreck...probably rusted out and patched n sprayed for the scene. Notice the car the interior shots are filmed in is a standard sedan, the one in the chase is a pillarless hardtop.
Love how she puts the Rotator light on the Roof and for some reason it's making the siren tone.
Sirens are mounted in the grill of unmarked cars and the majority of marked cars.
I owned a 87' Caprice. Loved it!
I love Caprice 87, 86, 85 and 88, is my favorites cars, specially the wagon
Love those 87 boats, lol.
Kenneth Wallace me too

I love this Chevy Caprice 87. I hate destruiction this classic car of Chevrolet Caprice with pursuit ridiculous with this vip female stupid
Kinda reminds me of the Blues Brothers chase..
Another movie I never heard of.. Thx!
You can see where the Aussie HQ Holden got it's styling from.
I prefer the early 80s Impala version of the B body of the Caprice.
2:02. Pontiac dented before any contact!

@@01trsmar Post some links to slalom and G tests from that era comparing those cars side by side.
Otherwise youre full of caka.
Such a pretty Caprice until they fucked it up
Reminds me of the French Connection with the cop going through traffic in able to keep up with the suspect and with the LeMans getting beat up.
Ford Trucks Fan I said the same thing
Thats a good looking Pontiac Lemans Sedan.
Adrien Brody and the woman from one of those US doctor sitcoms.
And the guy from The Planet of The Apes TV series.
Welp, That was a waste of a Good LeMans.
Its weird seeing those 2 fullsize cars go at it with all these 90's cars on the road
11094DEREK Yep, that was the worst part about it. Seeing this antique wasted in the 90's for a second rate pos film...
Not really,it fixed itself by the last shot,no dents.
Stop it @ 4:43 and check it out.I need a self-repairing car like that.
71 Plymouth. This channel makes me sad. So many classics destroyed :(
That was pretty awesome at the stop light when she was trying to incognito look over at him and he already intensely staring her down.
I woulda been turned around under that tunnel! 🤣🤣
This must have been filmed on Christmas morning at 7 am because this area usually has TONS of traffic
i loved the caprice!
NICE RED LIGHT!
The pontiac periodically changes from a 4 door pillarless hardtop to a regular sedan...haha
That poor chevy caprice

NICE CAPRICE!
Vy are zay talking Cherman inn zis movie vhen it iz taking place in New York?
And what 1970's or 80's car chase scene would be complete without the "bongo drum" track, I ask you?
This one certainly would've been better without it
Hubcaps on, hubcaps off, dents before contact. It was a sedan without b posts, then it had B posts!
If you think that shit was bad, watch the conclusion of the film
Who said Caprice isn’t iron
I was rooting for the cop. Did not care for the punk. So I guess he played his part very well. I found one of them when I was 15 sitting in the field a two-door same color. I don't know if he's a luxury Coop or not but didn't I have the engine transmission. My dad talked me out of it. He was right it wasn't worth $150 back then.
So sorry to see the classic Pontiacs wrecked over the dime a dozen chevy's
De qual filme é essa cena? Fiquei curioso......
who is the actor driving the Lemans?
The same do it with today's cars one hit and that would be toast
Is that Adrian Brody driving the lemans!!??
What's the name of the movie?
Stupid kid should've double backed as soon as he hit that tunnel.
What movie is this
No air bag on those cars !?
The Caprice would have been on the borderline of having a driver's side airbag. The 72 leMans didn't have one and the lap and shoulder belts were two separate belts and not conducive for a thug in a car chase to buckle up even if he were inclined to do so.
The german adds an extra tone of seriousness
would've been nice to see the version that was in English.... seems strange watching old American vehicles & hearing German dialog... lol
I noticed the Pontiac go from stick to automatic 🤣
Что за фильм?
PUT YOUR SEATBELT ON!
The stuntdriver in the Caprice did wear a seatbelt.
If the Lemans driver had worn both the lap and separate shoulder belts, he probably wouldn't even have had a headache, but thugs aren't usually too safety conscious.
ich glaube das hab ich schon mal gesehen
Is that ADRIAN BRODY?
Yes
Same lemans almost that gene hackman drove in french Connectiction
Does 326 don't play in does Lamans

That's funny because this was made in America idiot that's New York
It's German dubbed
@@kevins9785 They do dub American movies in foreign countries. Sorry to be the first to tell you this.

It is an A body, like a chevelle, gto, cutlass, etc. smaller than the older b-body, but very similar to the box caprice.
That woman in the caprice is a cop.
My dear I wish you to write the name of the movie and thank you dear brother

Also i'd rather pick a 1980's Chevy Caprice over a overweight, overpowered and terribly engineered 1972 LeMans.
