Cool video. Fun to see some familiar places. I know they closed the Bay Bridge over a long weekend as part of the new bridge construction, so iam guessing that is when theyt might have filmed some of those shots. Not sure how they got soem others.

Attacking Lombard Street is impressive, but I like that 'in the air' drifting at 5:40 and replays. My mind = blown!!!

He is pretty incredible!
Thank goodness for a reliable rev limiter which he seems to be on all the time, and would assume a set of tires are gone after each run (like the previous video where he winds up on rims).

Cool as crap. Even the Mayor would have a hard time getting permits for that. Interesting to see Monster and Red Bull co-oped.

Some wicked-ass driving for sure.

Damn, No Double Damn, pretty much un-topable. Great Video.

I can only imagine what it was like to have been there during the filming of this.

Ken and Ford - both are just impresive.

Thanks Dave.

Holy cow. All that's missing is Steve McQueen in a green Mustang and the little Bug making appearances along the way.



That little Ford is awesome. Imagine a Ford GT set up like that.

There were obviously some retakes on some of the sections. You can see lots of tire tracks in some of the places.



Please Hoon Responsibly.

Plenty of retakes in Bullit also (skid marks). Can't imagine getting enough suspension travel to get a gt airborne. But I'm sure some have done it.....

+1 on mcgowans talents.... Been there done that also.
