for Classics, I agree the Blues Brothers does it. For something recent, I'd go for DeathRace.

On the other hand, this one:

wasn't staged.

Many of the shots in the scene were "real", in that legendary stunt driver Bill Hickman...actually drove the car at high speeds through uncontrolled traffic and red lights, with Friedkin running a camera from the backseat while wrapped in a mattress for protection. The production team received no prior permission from the city [of New York] for such a dangerous stunt...and the only precaution taken was to place a "gumdrop" style beacon on the car's roof and blare the horn. Other shots involved stunt drivers who were supposed to barely miss hitting the speeding car, but due to errors in timing accidental collisions occurred and were left in the final film.

That's from the Wikipedia, although I've heard William Friedkin, the Director, describe the same in a radio interview.

Apparently there are people in Auckland filming a sequel.

Another vote for Vanishing Point.
Movie also worth watching alone just to see Naked Motorbike girl played by Gilda Texter

Have to go with Ronin though for the win

Watched the youtube video - looked like just like normal Italian driving!
