I'm thinking that it was "The Seige" - the movie with Bruce Willis as a military commander chasing down terrorists in NY. If that's not what you're talking about, I believe they still used one in that movie anyway, but its been too long since I've seen it.

If you look closely (in fact you don't even need to look closely... they're obvious) you can see tracks or frames underneath them while coming around the curve. The Escalade made the turn fine, why were the Contours rigged? Makes us look bad!  maybe the frames that can be seen are used to unweight the cars to make them handle crapy on purpose, like the frames that are put on cars at Skip Barbers Racing School to make the car handle as if its on slippery conditions even though its on dry pavement.
