V8 police cruiser(s) + helicopter VS a very visible and slow vehicle YELOSUB 01-17-2006, 02:50 PM Here is the link for the video, I hope it works... http://cbs2.com/video?cid=98 midtowndesi 01-17-2006, 02:58 PM muhahahhaa - i wonder if it was a scionlife member... I wonder if he made his own cabin air filter.... lmao! But seriously - why do crooks always chose/pick/steal/whatever the WORST CARS for car chases... The cars that I have seen that actually put up a fight in a chase was a corvette - which crashed -and a turbo charged/suped up eagle talon/eclipse..... I've never seen a ferrari... or a lamborghini... or any of the "POSSIBLE CONTENDERS" in a car chase... it's always junk... I'VE EVEN SEEN A CAR CHASE WHERE THE CROOKS HAD STOLEN A CRX!!!!!!!!!!!!! OF ALL THINGS, A HONDA CRX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what gives? - sh00k mfbenson 01-17-2006, 03:15 PM Some chase - they were going barely faster than the semi's that were in the far right lane. That's how normal people drive around here... Thirty-Nine 01-17-2006, 03:30 PM People need to remember they can never outrun a police radio. :) Matt_Moore 01-17-2006, 03:38 PM People need to remember they can never outrun a police radio. :) Unless they are on some salt flats and in those cars that can break the sound barrier. :P Spider13 01-17-2006, 04:58 PM That may be the sadest police chance I have ever watched. Nothing to worry about being put on Wildest Police chases. Scionotiks 01-17-2006, 04:59 PM :P poor xB almost lost its life bBsactoguy 01-17-2006, 05:05 PM you're telling me they used that as the get away car?? You've got to be kidding me... hahaha. Thats something you don't see everyday. It just came to me that.. this would have been the ultimate winner of photo rally 2.0.. Pulled over by a cop with their lights flashing..... heheheh :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: jallamas 01-17-2006, 05:18 PM The reason they were being chased was the driver ripped off a tip jar at a Starbucks. Can you spell :loser: :loser: :loser: John dante 01-17-2006, 05:35 PM should've been in a tC... :rofl: (j/k!!) killerxromances 01-17-2006, 06:36 PM should've been in a tC... :rofl: (j/k!!) :rofl: , tC wouldn't do much better. Funny chase, i think this makes my year to date. :rofl: rdclark 01-17-2006, 06:47 PM They would have escaped in a Salsa Red. Everyone knows red cars are faster. RichC Matt_Moore 01-17-2006, 06:58 PM Maybe he was trying to outrun the police with his superior gas mileage? I wonder if "street creds" gives you extra points at the car show? BTW anybody watching this video, just skip to the last 1/4 of it. Keitaro 01-17-2006, 10:32 PM I see a slanted rear wiper for that "JDM" look. Factory EM-7 alloy wheels? I also spotted a moon roof. Question: Would the PIT maneuver work only on RWD cars since the intent is to hit the rear corner of the vehicle? According to the story, PIT didn't work on the xB. I wonder if VSC aided the xB driver. :rofl: The PIT involves deliberately driving the police car into a rear corner of the fleeing vehicle. Properly done, this forces the vehicle to spin and come to a stop. It can only be used in places where there are no other vehicles around and where there are no curbs that might cause the suspect vehicle to flip over. Spr0ket 01-17-2006, 10:36 PM OMG! He was almost going 70 miles per <shudder> HOUR! YIKES. That rig must of had Nos yo. autobotxxtonyxx 01-17-2006, 10:44 PM a car chase for a tip jar at starbucks? im sure he used it to fill up his whole tank with gas... 20 bucks! At that rate he could of made it to at least stockton or something. losmorob 01-18-2006, 02:00 AM Too Cool!! Was that a cameo metallic? It wasn't me! I don't go to "four-bucks". Metro273 01-18-2006, 02:14 AM What great video footage! I was rooting for the "little Box that could". Glad that the Box wasn't injured... :clap: DSMing91 01-18-2006, 08:41 PM The cars that I have seen that actually put up a fight in a chase was a corvette - which crashed -and a turbo charged/suped up eagle talon/eclipse..... I'VE EVEN SEEN A CAR CHASE WHERE THE CROOKS HAD STOLEN A CRX!!!!!!!!!!!!! OF ALL THINGS, A HONDA CRX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what gives? - sh00k The Talon wasn't suped up. It was pretty much stock as the very thing I noticed on it was the stock doul/double tip exhaust. I use to own an Eclipse (same exact car). No suped up Talon is going to have the stock exhaust still, hehe. A stock Talon will pretty much not have an issue to any cruiser unless the cruiser is not stock. But even then those cruisers may have a hard time keeping up with the talon/eclipse/laser that's why they called in the mustang and even he had a hard time, lol (if this is the video I'm thinking about). And I agree with the CRX, but then again these things aren't planned abviously in the real world. That XB footage OW3ND! DSMing91 01-18-2006, 08:44 PM should've been in a tC... :rofl: (j/k!!) that's just as bad as a civic...... :lalala: :rofl: kaister 01-19-2006, 05:13 AM wow. they must've gotten pretty good mileage. other big engine cars may have ran out of gas already... :rofl: RedneckwithanxB 01-19-2006, 05:27 AM my question, why would the cops not pass them and block em in, if i remember correctly the commentation (which was wonderful) said they were unarmed? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, coulda made it to texas and got away if it werent for those meddilying cops DaBlackBox 01-19-2006, 05:50 AM i saw this chase.. i even had to check to make sure it wasnt my car on the tv.. the cops even tried to pit the car at the start but it didnt work Rigley 01-19-2006, 09:11 AM Should have gotten rid of the passengers, less weight more speed. :rofl: Best chance to get away would have been to pull into a scion dealership and run like hell. What a dope. catuned 01-24-2006, 04:55 PM The only thing worst is doing it in a Yugo.. That would be funny too. badger2 01-24-2006, 07:04 PM muhahahhaa - i wonder if it was a scionlife member... I wonder if he made his own cabin air filter.... lmao! But seriously - why do crooks always chose/pick/steal/whatever the WORST CARS for car chases... The cars that I have seen that actually put up a fight in a chase was a corvette - which crashed -and a turbo charged/suped up eagle talon/eclipse..... I've never seen a ferrari... or a lamborghini... or any of the "POSSIBLE CONTENDERS" in a car chase... it's always junk... maybe the ones who nab the quick cars get away before the news choppers get there hotbox05 01-24-2006, 09:18 PM cop car's are not fast. a hopped up honduh could win one. a camaro , or a LONG list of cars could. jct 01-24-2006, 10:18 PM that car chase was hella boring and too long drawn out, even the video i down loaded i fast forward 99% of it and even after they gave up was boring too no action what so ever!!! :( |
