Been there done that except i was in a 95 probe GT and the cop was in a big ol' Tahoe... HAHA

 

damn that sounds like a rush.. ive got to try that one of these days. Maybe after I get my 2nd turbo working.

 

Man, that's bad ***. That kind of stuff scares me. I fear the day when I have to run again. If they ever catch you it's over for driving. I'm glad you got away

 

Aren't cops supposed to go to some driving school so they can learn to control their car in situations like that?

 

For God's sake be careful! They'll put in one of those places where you get to keep your shick shift on ya!!

After a while you'll look like this guy!

 

Almost the same thing happened to me friday. I was about 1/2 mile from my house and I am motorin down the road and let off and I am going 50 in a 35 when I see the cop. He slams on his brakes and turns his lights on as I go bye. He is trying to do a U-turn and there is a truck right on his *** when he slammed on the brakes. he hesitates to do the U-turn with the truck on his ***! I was watching in the rear view and see I have a chance! I mash it and tear down the road doing about 90 take a hard left on my parents street and the second driveway on the right is my house! I turn in the driveway hard hoping he hasnt caught up enough to see me turn. Go down the 600 foot driveway and hide my car behind my dads truck. Jumo out before the cop can see me in the car and I run into the house. My knees knockin hoping I wasnt seen. I dont think the cop even pulled a right onto my street. I think I lost him in the curves before I even took my turn. I was waiting for a visit but nothing. Looks like i got away. Usually I wont run unless I know I have a very good chance of getting away and that I wont have to drive like a mad man and maybe kill someone or myself. Thats why I watched him and saw he had little to no chance. From a dead stop he would have had to had some wild **** to catch up and I was so close to the house I had it in the bag. Dont try this unless you know the roads and they are empty and you have a huge jump.

 

The only times I've ever ran from the cops was with my T2 in Okinawa Japan. If anyone knows about Oki, I was going down 58 right before Camp Foster started doing about 160kph. There was a JP car that just pulled up to the intersection as I was cruising by. Either he didn't see me, which I doubt, or just thought it hopeless to catch me. It was a black car, black wheels, quiet exhaust and just had running lights on. The JP's in Japan don't give chase to many street racing cars in their standard cruisers. They have hopped up Skylines, Tourer V's, and Aristo's. The first 2 of which aren't even made in the US and Aristo's are some model Lexus.

 

And people wonder why they pay so much for insurance !

Had a good one last night, goin to a friends house last night, doin about 95-100 and a cop went by me in the opposite direction, he immediately slammed on his brakes and went to make a u turn, i gunned it, the roads are curvey so he really couldn't see me all the time, i hit about 130 and began slowing down to take a side road, flipped my lights off and coasted around the corner at about 30. used the ebrake to stop and i see him fly by with his lights on. It was dark and i was hidden by a nice little hill.. I waited a few minutes and i get back on the highway, i start headin in the same direction and what do i see agiain, the same damn cop headin back by me, he flips around again and on come the lights, i pull over, he immediately comes up to the car and looks at me, looks at my car and immediately apologizes and says he was looking for a dark colored corvette and lets me go.... SWEET

 

ya'll are a bad influence on a 14 year old.............

 

A friend of mine tried that, but got caught...now he's still cleaning up the freeways of Southern California for community service. Cops gave him a brake cause once they followed him thru a couple of turns he just pulled over...he was driving a 12 sec civic at the time hahaha.

 

see the thing in cali is that you will have helicopters on you in no time, out here in illinois (middle of nowhere), there is no chance for that, yeah the cops have radios but they aren't equipped with E.S.P., they cant really anticipate your moves.......

 

That was the good thing about po-dunk Missouri too. It was easy to get away from the cops, especially on the country roads where they Y off all the time or gravel roads that are to damn dusty to follow anyone, of course, that being the cop behind you.

 

i was driving on rt 80 here in NJ, followin a speeding pickup in my fd. we are going about a 120 weaving through traffic. he cuts off a big rig. i slow down. then i hear over a bull horn "license plate xxxxx you were doing 120mph back there SLOW DOWN OR YOU WILL BE WALKING!" look to my blindspot state trooper looking very ANGRY, slow down to speed limit. wave to cop. then he procedes to chase the truck or had something more important to do. either way i got a stern highspeed yelling at by a state trooper. i'm very lucky guess he like my car

 

I think cops are more likely to give a person a speeding ticket if they have a car that shouldn't be going that fast rather than a car that was made to go that fast.

 

there more likely wanting to meet the expectations givin to them......(warnings+tickets+traffic stops)

 

Hey Vosco,
Don't ya hate that blind spot on the FD? I had a cop down here in Tx do the same thing to me.

Now I learned how to drive on a late model Camaro, but that C pillar has nothing on the FD's!

 

Blind spot sucks, always end up tryin to merge in another lane and get honked at.....

 

Same thing happend to me about 8 months ago. To bad I was not in my FD. I was driving a 1994 Porsche 968 6spd. Cop was after me for about 2 miles at about 135mph. He was way behind me, I still cant believe they still use crown vics after people like me and all of you, You'd think they would use there mustang GT's like they did in the early 90's. On the turnpike radio station the cops were announcing a red 2 door car "Most likly a VW Carrado" that made my day. Now I just have to get a RX7 as fast as a Porsche 968.

 

How could they mistake a Porsche for a VW? It can't take that much to bring your RX7 up to speed with the Porsche. I don't know the specifics on the Porsche though.

 

They are, I was taught to drive by a cop. The rookies are a bit too cocky though.

Those Crown Vics are fairly impressive for a domestic. Here are some of the things they have over the norm.

Stronger A-Frame
GT rated tires (though with stock aspect ratios)
Harder suspension
4.6 DOHC or a 350 DOHC (Saw this a few years ago,) tuned by Ford Motorsports
The ECU is made and programmed for the police by Ford Motorsports. When the car is retired, the ECU has to be removed and sent back to the factory. There are some tight controls on it.

Still, they hate us because our car's 10% contribuition to our driving is enough to get away from one of them. Now get a group and some choppers, that might be a different story
