Nice skills, but I wouldn't call that 'nearly evading the cops'.  He was checkmated, was just a matter of time.

I wonder how many license plates he's gonna have to make in prison to pay for all those cop car fenders.  Maybe he can pay off his debt early if he finds a rich prison boyfriend.

I love the cheering staff in the back ground as he spins out and recovers. That guy was a good driver but it was only a matter of time before they got him.

3 things most people should know:

1. You can't out-run radio waves.
2. Unless you are in a supercar the car you are in isn't faster flat out than a cop car.
3. Being chased by a bear is not as bad as an angry cop when it's all said and done.

The one thing most people should know is that cop cars are not supped-up, you do not need a supercar at all, cop cars have stock engines.

Haha good old Oklahoma drivers.  You should see us evade police in a John Deere!  Btw Jim Gardner is the helicopter pilot in that video.  The man can flat out fly anything.  His Tornado and bad weather flying is something to see.

That reminds me of this guy I knew, who work as an inseminator (artificial insemination for sheep). He was once tempted top spend a day with a classy prostitude, and with grandeuse, in a hotel suete.
I always wonder how many sheep he'd need to...you know.....in order to pay the bill  :devil

if they use the same computer program as the civvies, then i believe they're governed to 120mph also.

Either the owner's or the state's insurance.

If some car thief steals my car and then goes off endangering others, I hope the cops wreck him so bad that the perp dies horribly, squished like a bug in the tangled wreckage of what used to be my favorite hoopty.  The hassle of an insurance claim and buying a new car is worth the feel-good knowledge that there is more oxygen for me and my family after the car thief's death.

A new 2010 camaro with v6 will do better than 145 mph. The V8s quite a bit faster.

I know for a fact that my 2000 Crown Vic will own our 2009 Chargers on a road course, but straighten that road out... the Charger eats mine up every time.

nj state troopers are using chargers unmarked. they still have the crown vics, and also some dodge suv's

 the town i live in has a couple of crown vics, and a few fwd impalas, as does the town my shop is in.

i'd always heard that the crown vics tended to get "floaty" near 100?>

Post by: DJ111 on March 29, 2010, 10:48:51 PM
Mine being one of the oldest ones in the department, it does get a little testy as you approach 100, the chargers seem to love going upwards of 100.  The impalas aren't worth the equipment bolted on them.

The Sheriffs around here have the dark blue 'secret squirrel' Chargers and I've even seen a Dodge Magnum that was slicked out and was running down a speeder on I35.

if ya wanna get away, and are dumb enough to run in the first place.....you simply need to make em lose sight....even if only for a few seconds.....just long enough for you to make a turn........once you've turned off the road they're chasin ya on, you need to make another turn before they catch sight of ya again.
 usually in 2 to 4 turns, you've gotten away........but then again, that was nearly 20 years ago.

The Crown Vic is soon to be retiring in 2011.  Ford announced recently that they'll be replacing it with the Taurus in 2012.  (Ford currently controls about 70% of the police vehicle sales),

The write-up can be found here:http://www.caranddriver.com/news/car/10q1/2012_ford_police_interceptor-car_news (http://www.caranddriver.com/news/car/10q1/2012_ford_police_interceptor-car_news)

Personally, I prefer the room and handling of the bigger Crown Vic.  How the Taurus will be in that department, we'll have to wait and see.  The Taurus is lighter, which would make it better for city and large town departments.  But, stuffing a 6'3", 285 lbs. guy in the back might be a little tough.

Maybe it will serve as a better reminder not to break the law.

I just hope it can seat my 6'4" 240 butt nice and comfy.

unless they've drastically changed the interior, you should fit in the front fine......also depending on how they load ya up with the extra pd stuff in there.

And up front they always do.  I was talking about the back seat though.

Our Charger's console is similar to this one, except the control panel is made of square, back-lit buttons that control lights/siren/computer power/etc. where the empty space is on the center console.  Our DVR system takes up the top half portion where they have the buttons pictured in the above photo.


My only gripe is that the shifter is kinda awkward, it comes straight out of the dashboard next to the wheel, and turns 90* almost the same as a normal shifter.  Takes a minute to get used to it.

I feel very snug when I sit in it, I just prefer the space that a Crown Vic has (Or seems to have over the Charger).  They won't let me have one that doesn't have a cage  :cry
