whew, youre right, sounds like a real prick........
yep he pulled some 'super troopers' BS too. he was coming the other direction saw us and made a u-turn. i saw him my rear view FLYING in the left lane to catch up (without his lights on) I thought he was gonna get the barreta in front of me. but just as he got to my front quarter panel he turned on his lights, SLAMMED!! on his brakes, and AGGRESSIVLY merged right behind me.
Good luck with any Bel or Escort you buy off ebay because the warranty is voided so you are screwed when it breaks. Tell me who the seller was because their name is probably on the unauthorized reseller list.

my friend totaled his 350z last night...
hitting about 150 in a 55..he's lucky he walked away
i wonder what his ticket will be after the investigation
I'm pretty confident that I could lose a cop in the event of a high speed pursuit but I hopefully will never find myself in that kind of situation...lol
Out of curiosity does anybody know the top speed on a typical cop car?
And how about there performance #'s like 0-60, 1/4, lat g's, etc..?
I know someone is going to say something about "You can't outrun the radio" True but if you are so long gone by the time they get around to you, there's still a good chance you will prevail.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not thinking about nor endorsing fleeing and or evading the police; I'm just a little curious is all.
A typical crown vic with the light bars and all the weight will only go around 130mph give or take. A lot of cops are going with the smaller light bars or none at all might have a slightly higher top end. The SUV's probably wont hit much over 100mph, I'm not too sure about the new dodge cars (charger/magnum) they are starting to use but they are Chrysler products... I'll have to refrence a Car & Driver article I read about cop cars and their drivers training but I dont think with all the weight and equipment in them they test lateral G's or other performance aspects. I've seen XLR-V, Z06, Z28, Mustang GT, and other variety of high end cop cars that would probably not have any problems catching our cars.
Exhibition of speed huh? That's kind of funny (lol2)
Definitely get a lawyer for that one! That sounds like straight up BS
So you can get ticketed for doing burn outs now? (nervous)
wtf is the world coming to?
in some states doing a burnout could be considered reckless driving, so yes, you can get a ticket for that, or anything out of the realm of safe driving.
as for running from the cops... just dont do it. Trust me you will lose. One car trailing you, you could probably lose him in a modded ms3, but you can bet that you run from one cop hes gonna call all his friends to help, and you can throw leinancy out the window then, they will throw the book at you. I know you said you werent actually considering it, but just talking about it here means youve thought it, so lets not promote that any more. Thanks.
Gotcha!
