For my money, it's between Ronin and The Bourne Supremacy.
Does C'etait un Rendezvous count, BTW? I've not seen it, but I hear great things about it.
We're not debating what does and doesn't belong in an accolade. It counts if you say it counts! 
I wasn't sure it'd count, since it's not actually a car chase- just a very fast drive through Paris. Probably doesn't count, now I think about it  |

Oh, I forgot the cool sequence in The Island. It was like watching a train wreck 
Ol Michael Bay knows how to crash some cars (although, oddly, for a movie set in California of the Future, almost all the cars were domestic makes, which made no sense and hurt my suspension of disbelief. Which is saying something if I can accept cloning more easily) |

Speaking of suspention of disbelief in car chases, there's a great car chase on a freeway in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The movie takes place in New York, but during one part of the movie, they have a static establishing shot of the freeway with a sign that clearly says "Welcome to Los Angeles."  |

Ha! I missed that. I was too busy formulating my "minivan-fu" line at that time. |

A little known movie by French Connection director William Friedkin, To Live and Die in L.A., had a great chase scene.
Also the chase scene in Matrix Reloaded. They built their own highway to film the scene. It took about 12 weeks to make nine minutes of action. |
