I have read this also. According to Bullitt lore, the production team
went to Willow Springs raceway, in the desert north of LA, and
recorded a GT40 turning laps and dubbed the sounds onto the movie
soundtrack. You certainly do hear Lt. Bullitt pulling a lot more
gears, and doing a lot more unnecessary throttle blipping between
gears, than you would expect to hear in a real life car chase as
depicted on the screen.
