Yes, was a descent enough film for it's time.

Heart like a wheel
Running on empty (Aussie one)
Christine
Vanishing point
The wraith
Gone in 60 seconds
Mad Max
Return to Macon County
American Graffitti
Crazy Larry & Dirty Mary

and plenty more I can't think of.

Bullitt has been mentioned, but it wasn't a car movie, but then again neither were the Mad Max films either (strictly speaking). I'm surprised nobody mentioned 'Cars'

Probably the movie with best car scene would have to be Blues Brothers car chase?

Yeah I bought the original by accident one day. It was on special for about $8 and I thought it was the remake, but was happy as it turns out to be not so bad a movie.
