that is a great video. My 12 year old niece counted all the red lights he ran. She said "he could get in a lot of trouble"

Its too long of a story to type out. Not realistic and doctored. We can start with the dubbed on motor noise...not even the same engine/car configuration!

No problem. It's a very cool video and some of the "facts" are debated but that gives you an idea of the generally accepted story.

Thanks for posting the link to the video. I used to have a digital copy but I lost it somewhere along the way.

Looks like a 3.3 or 3.6L Turbo (from the tail) and the whole thing seems a little "contrived" given the sophistication of all the available camera angles!

Nissan did something similar in Prague for a promo of the 370Z.

I thought it was pretty cool since I used to live in Prague and knew parts of the route.
