This is Why you don't perform top speed runs in the City

Holy smokes this guy is going to pay a heck of a price just to confirm that these cars are way fast...

WHAT'S top end on those cop cars??

I dunno. I guess less than the C6 top end. But like I told someone the other day... I don't have to catch you - I just have to outsmart you. :cool

Sounds like that wasn't hard to do.

Their radios go 186,000 miles per second.

You got that right 67 Heaven.

WHAT'S top end on those cop cars??

I had a supercharged Crown Vic a few years back, and the State Troopers who bring prisoners to my office all drive Crown Vics--they said they drove 120 all the time, so those cars don't have the governors that civilian cars have.

What are "stop sticks?" Do they effect the runflat tires?

 

[Vanity Plate Bob]

A strip layed across the road with spikes in. When U run over them - many holes - no air. There are such things. Not sure if they are referred to as "stop sticks". Maybe something new.
Not sure what effect on run flats.

Moron.

 

[Gersh]

Moron.

Count me in on that "Moron" accusation--I do high speed runs on the highway too!

But with 4 years behind the wheel of a 2002 Z06 and 1.5 years with my new 2006 Z06, I have zero tickets or accidents. If you're going to speed, do it responsibly--use a radar detector! (always watch out for the biggest street gang in the country).

The "moron" description was for the idiocy of trying to outrun police in a high speed chase, which is simply a recipe for disaster. I always enjoyed the "moron of the week" video in southern California involving high speed police pursuits.

Here's another reason to be careful about street racing:

This Corvette vs Lambo race ended with the Lambo driver and a Volvo driver dead. Then, guess what? The police charged the Corvette driver with two counts of Manslaughter!

Speed responsibly is my motto.
