velofish Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Just in case you decide to run for it next time. Top speeds of the common NA police pursuit vehicles. Ford Crown Victoria: 128mph Dodge Intrepid: 135 mph Chevrolet Impala: 123mph Good luck and you didn't hear it from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velofish Posted February 28, 2005 Author Share Posted February 28, 2005 and how do you suppose you outrun these exactly Not too many of those in Minnesota are there? I recognize the Lambo. What is the other one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBenGuzzi Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Duh a Honda NSX, anyway there are lamos here but they are usualy driven by CEO's or who knows what there are some big bizness in MN. The police all drive crown vics some have malibu's I've also seen dodge durangos and ford explorers I guess they think they need the 4wd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to invest in a nitrous booster. Hmmm, I don't think we have had a nitrous thread yet... :rasta:edit, I take that back, there has been a nitrous thread: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3635&hl= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianG Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 And a nice BIG hello!! from beautiful downtown Edmonton, Alberta, Canada! I've figured out how to out-run those persistent Boys in Blue!! It's called a Comanche 260.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 interesting... <_> 44638[/snapback] I really envy the cop that's assigned to ride this Duc all day (and gets payed!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 When you figure out how to out run radio, let me know. 44633[/snapback] The trick is not to outrun, but rather to jam the signal. Not that I would suggest such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Carl makes the most salient point regarding radio al 44647[/snapback] I disagree. Have you guys ever had the opportunity to checkout response time when you dial 911? Odds are, I'd be in the next county by the time the next fine LEO could intercept me. Of course it would all be a crapshoot. An example happened just Saturday. Our wonderful city planners put a commuter train in with connecting busses that only run at rush hour. I saw some poor sap taking the two mile walk to the nearest bus station and told him to hop on the back of the bike with no helmet. Just my luck, a cop comes from the other direction. I tell the passenger to hold on, as we shift into hyperspeed. No radio intercept, no ticckeet! And no lives endangered. I will run, but I won't do anything stupid. You may argue that to be an oxymoron, but I beg to differ and believe that it is sometimes safe to ellude the fuzz. However if they are right on my tail or have a speed trap I am cooked goose. It is when the cop has to drive ahead and do a U turn that you can gain advantage, or you can be a fine citizen and just pull over and pull out your license. Of course the cop may not have seen my lidless passenger, but I was not about to stick around to find out. His radio would only help him if the police had a 60 second response time. A nitrous booster would have helped, but then I would have lost the passenger, but still no ticckeet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ought to hear his stories of folks who thought they could outrun the Crown Vics and radio-response times. Great way to spend the night--and perhaps longer--in Atlanta's pretrial detention center. Book 'em, Danno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Running from the cops isn't the brightest thing you can do. I just happened to see this video on another site, but it's pertinent here. At the end is a pretty spectacular crash. http://www.katc.com/Global/story.asp?S=3006740&nav=EyAzWtEg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
