'92 C2500 6.5 Turbo Diesel | '96 240sx

You can run from cops in anything, just have to have the right circumstances..
700hp 815trq.
running from the cops= not worth it. sure you may get away sometimes, but if youre caught youre fucked. dont do anything dumb to start with and you dont have to worry.
and i think your friend is lying to you. ls/vtecs arent that fast.
dude told me the same thing Friday.... wonder if its the same guy? He said he got like a good jump on them and then he parked it and then ran. LOL
Here is the deal with the cops.
Most cops cars, not all but most, have just an ECU Tune. Which makes maybe 50hp extra. but it really dosen't matter because that is automcally cancelled out due to they care a 1000lbs+ of extra equitment in there cars. This inculdes the Chargers, Impala, Crown vics and one other one that I can't think of. But they do have other vechicle made for chases, there usually impounded vechiles that there owners ditch. So that opnes the door to alot more cars. So that where you get the mustangs, 300zx, Vettes, and other bullshit. But they are rarely used though. The point is that most cop cars are slow.
But there are alot of them so it is not wise to run in your custom painted civic or widebody body supra, or any modded body car. because though car stick out like a sore thumb. If your going to run (which is dumb) you need know your area fairly well. If anything becomes to Serious they will pull out the chopper. My friend goodluck out running that.
this thread......
I agree.
You niggas know my pyroclastic flow, its R A W!

You can't outrun Motorola.
that being said, a lighter, smaller vehicle could possibly take corners faster, stop faster, and take off faster.... thereby enabling it to get away. Add RA1 racing compound tires and a very good driver and you have a good chance. You must also know your streets very well, don't want to end up in a dead end now do we.

My roommate works for forsythe county and they just got a 500 hp Challenger
for example 2 wheels 600cc-1400cc and already punchin it b4 u pass a cop...
I've only seen cops go after guys on bikes a couple times. They are usually going pretty fast already and chasing them would only make the situation more dangerous. If one biker wrecks, unless he/she hits another car, its only one person. Start chasing that person and the chance of injuring more people becomes likely.for example 2 wheels 600cc-1400cc and already punchin it b4 u pass a cop...
Running in a car however, would be more difficult. I personally won't even consider it.
my friend had a retired 97 vic from the police, and ran a 16.1 in the quarter. His car was kept the exact same way a normal cop car is as far as mods, just no lights, cage, etc. His parents were both cops, so he got a deal. Too bad my little civic put him in his place lol
Ballin' on a Budget
No, from personal experience this sufficed:for example 2 wheels 600cc-1400cc and already punchin it b4 u pass a cop...
It didn't run right either and was slower than stock, we never went off road..
Again, under the right circumstances, you can do it in anything..
I was in the passenger seat furious!! The person who did it is on IA, not going to say who.. He can chime in if he wishes.. This car literally goes 0-60 in 15 seconds..
I don't know you but that is the dumbest thing the police depart could do.
Cop crown vics have a "tune" that helps the already slow car to be somewhat decent with the extra 750-1000lbs of lights, cage, reinforced doors, brush bars, reinforced axles, reinforced rear suspension, electronic and computer equipment plus the gear to power all of that nonsense and the typical 200lb load of equipment they carry in the trunk (Spare vest, entry shotgun, depending on the cars this obviously varies, often includes first aid kits galore with plenty of extra stopped-on-the-roadside goodies.)
Crown Vics are slow. Chargers are slow. Impalas are slow. All of them are gas-guzzling hogs that cost ridiculous amounts to keep in running condition as well. If the police forces would switch to smaller diesel powered sedans or hatchbacks (Jetta TDi would be a decent start) and also force the officers to pay for at least a portion of the maintenance on the cars, we'd see the overall cost drop 20% just between fuel and maintenance alone, if not much more since the cops would actually have an incentive to take care of them.
Edit: And a Jetta TDi might be harder to run away from in a chase too. Crown Vics are pigs, even with Interceptor suspension.
They got a Challenger, yes. 500hp, no. Who is your roommate?
GSP Chargers are a good bit faster than the city cars

Doesn't do shit if it can;t handle worth shit. You know the new chagers suck at handling. I am just staying the whole Charger and challenger thing is a complete waste of money. Really I would be fine if they choose a car that would really serve and protect. Example the G8
You're an idiot.
Really what the propose of a over wieght pig of a car is for? That is suppose to chase other cars.
I can barely read your "sentence".
sorry can't really say. I don't know if its true or not, it looks pretty stock to me, but I don't really care to find out first hand.
they also have a mustang now too.
i ran from barrow county sheriff on 316 a few years back in my old civic and got away.. but of course i was already going 120mph and he was sitting still in the median..
Oh noes a mustang.
That's absolutely retarded. Why not firefighters and medics too then? Not all of them are in perfect condition either. And if you drive a company car, then fix it too. Dumb idea.
If I were a cop I'd prefer the G8 over a charger.. good call.
i heard them things are fast
hahhahahah i just got backin another disco, comfy as hell but my god they are SLOW AS FUCKNo, from personal experience this sufficed:

This thread makes me lol
I just dont understand the point of having slow pointless cars. The only reason I can think why they have them is for the muscle name. It just dumb.
HAHAH I know! You and I definitely have many stories.. We should keep quiet.. LOL
They are slow as fuck, and they will catch you. Slow can still do 145 and slow has a nice radio.
I rode with a cop friend one night a few weeks ago..What's funny is the crown vic. we were in is actually slower than the v6 charger with the same equipment. The Charger would kill us on the interstate.
Also, all the crown vic's plastic intake manifolds will crack..always, and coolant will start spraying in the intake port.. Maybe that's why they're slow..
