That was awesome! I don't know about the 3 tires going up the ramp, though. I wish it had been a new Ford GT at the end.

That was posted a long time ago, there were no camera tricks or anything fake. Those are all real parts of the car and those tires really did roll up the hill. It also all did go in unison like that, no editing or cutting in extra shots.

I had seen that video before, but never really noticed the tire thing. How the heck did they get the tires to roll up hill, transfer energy to another tire, and yet contiune to roll up hill?!?

Only way I can see is if they loaded the tires with weights or something...

Yup tires are weighted on top with the weights being at the top of the tire.....

And Mustang, there was one film slice in there, it is at the muffler, you cannot tell, but if you read up on the making of the video it was something about not having enough floor space so they did have to cut it there and resplice it....so it never did COMPLETELY work in one shot,....jsut not enough room, would have otherwise
