If only he didnt have a mustang.

Car chase!

Maybe he would have had a chance, pretty good driving.

JKak · 05-04-04, 08:10 AM

Can't see the video but anyways, I hope that idiot gets a minimum of 10 years in jail.

ak · 05-04-04, 09:00 AM

Wow, he regained control PRETTY darn well. I never knew that the CHP would act so aggressively on a car chase.

Insane. Now he will have enough time to think about it at jail...

Keng · 05-04-04, 09:59 AM

Wonder what he can do in a Enzo Ferrari =P

trackmonkey · 05-04-04, 11:29 AM

I think in an enzo the cops would have to catch up to him first.

Keng · 05-04-04, 12:48 PM

Damn I really want see a F1 car get chased by cop =p

JPWRana · 05-04-04, 02:39 PM

thats awesome driving!!!

Lone-R · 05-04-04, 04:21 PM

great driving... looks like a V6 stang to me, though. probably would've put up a better fight if it was a GT.

trackmonkey · 05-04-04, 04:54 PM

The problem is I think that all normal mustangs have a governer set at around 108mph and police cruisers can get to about 145-150 depending on the HP that model puts out.

Ford Victoria outputs 224 horsepower at 4800 rpm. The Victoria that the policemen drives might be a lot more powerful.
Back to the subject, does that skills or was the driver just lucky? And thank goodness no innocent driver was killed on the runaway.

Stupid and boring. Thanks for that vid man.

Keng · 05-04-04, 09:36 PM

I still want see a cop chased Formula One car =p

socio13 · 05-05-04, 12:01 AM

Wonder what he can do in a Pinto, or the car that Chevy Chase drives on a movie, I guess it was a station wagon.

krk230 · 05-05-04, 11:36 AM

those police cars were walking all over that clown...

in any case...he got owned...lol...

Police cars have the same amount of horsepower/torque as regular Crown Victorias.

The "Police Interceptor" badge means upgraded anti-sway bars, tires, high-heat endurance brakes, and quite possibly strut bars.

I agree though. He's a good driver and might have given them a hard time if he had a GT.

yup, in addition to suspension stuff, police interceptors have things to help them endurance wise, such as a better cooling system.

It's not about power for them, it's about reliability and endurance.

A 300hp car can wig wag through traffic, but cops don't need that much power. They have strobes and sirens to clear the road
