why even consider running at all if its a normal ticket. Maybe consider it if your doing 200km+ you can't fight that. I think you'd be going away in cuffs regaurdless. Not that i would. I wouldn't

That's bullshit, you're too gullible.
the modification's done to police interceptors are higher amp alt., no remote doors, engine bracket reinforcement's(protect coolant resorvoir and alt., stiffer sway bars, higher ride height, and frame reinforcement's. They're not modified for performance reasons.TurboWarrior said:

Yea, well if you plan to outrun the fuzz, YOU ARE A DUMBASS! Most times they will at minimum have a good description of you, if not a license plate number. Almost any county these days has a helicopter availbile to it, as well as more people than just you. They have spike strips availble, the ability to PIT your car, and more than likely much more driving expirience than you. Trying to run full out for a long enough period of time more than likely will result in you going into a ditch, tree or other car at 130+.
Not only that, the average Crown Vic (typically standard U.S. patrol car is limited to around 130 by the extra weight added and the lightbar's aerodynamic drag), but many departments have interceptors which may or may not be obvious. My dad was a deputy in NC for several years and they had a slick top (no lightbar) crown vic with a supercharged 5.0L V8 and a built 5 speed automatic tranny. The MO Highyway patrol has a very interesting Camaro Z28 except one small issue, it runs a 427ci Fuel injected V8 GM crate engine and 6 speed auto tranny.
If these don't spark some extra thought into your noodle than maybe simple cost vs result logic will help you. Example your doing 85 in a 70 on the interstate, suddenly the red and blue light up behind ya and it's a trooper. Choice A, you pull over, be respectful admit you were wrong and accept a ticket, warning, or if you're lucky he lets you off with a strong verbal discharge and nothing more.
Choice B, you decide to punch it. Several outcomes are possible, maybe 1 time out of 50 someone makes off with this flagrant disregard for everyone else on the road. However, chances are you will end up dead, in a wheelchair, or in a jail and/or state prison. Look at all the variables, your shitbox cannot handle high speed driving for much longer than a few minutes, the slower crown vics however can be run for hours at the upper end of thier limits because of significant differences in a patrol car and a street cars package (heavy duty radiator, water pump, etc). Since you are NOT michael schumacer you do NOT have the driving skills to do this either, chances are at 150 160 you will careen into a ditch, ravine, building, pole, tree, or other car and die (and you will deserve it). Then again, they may just catch you after losing a tire to a spike strip or blowing your engine, or just being over stressed and giving up. Remeber they are going home, you are going to jail or escaping only to worry for the next few days, weeks, or months when it all catches up to you. Once caught, not only will you be issued your original ticket but you will have charges stacked onto you such as but not limited to illuding, felony charges for attempted murder (because of speeds etc during the chase), running stop lights or signs (they do keep track during the chase in some areas and add these), resisting arrest, etc. So now you have felony charges and you go to jail, whereas earlier the worst you faced was some points off your license and and 100 maybe 200 dollar fine.
So, honestly I could care less how cool you think it may be, or how realistic your idea seems, you're an idiot if you ever attempt it. If ya want to put your life and others lives in a snowballs chance in hell plan to outrun the entire states worth of cops to avoid a minor traffic ticket that you might not even get, then you truly are a dumbass.
If you don't want points on your license then heres an idea, if you do get a ticket pay an attorney (normally the same as the ticket would cost) and have him get it changed to a minor non moving violation.

Oh and Ford doesn't mod them before selling to a department, but 9 out of 10 roughly departments do thier own modifications to the powerplant and drive train. Any intelligent trooper is going to play off or not tell you the real deal, why have an interceptor if everyone knows about it. I have seen a local crown vic with an 03 32V V8 SC engine, guess where it came from?

I was going more on the 170mph, 300hp claim, but good to know.
And I forgot :biglaugh: @ a C6 being too slow compared to a Crown Vic.
Cool. That is just the crown vic though. Don't know much about the other interceptors out there like impalas.
Good post wills. I watched a special on this once. When you decide to run chances are you will not stop. Adrenaline is pumping you make dumb decisions and forgot all reason. You become focused on getting away even if its impossible. So don't get yourself into that situation.

all of you guys with the shitty looking supras can go right ahead and run from the cops, the rest of us with the showroom condition supras will sit back, watch and probably laugh.

Thats a pretty broad statement. You wouldnt say that if one ever comes to your rescue if you are ever in a situation where help is needed.
I should have a beef with cops but I dont. I was treated pretty badly when I was mistaken for stabbing 2 kids and was positively identified by 1 of 3 witnesses. I just happened to drive a similar car back then and was held for hours even brought to an outdoor lineup. After all was said and done, they let me go but when I left, one cop stopped me and got in my face and said "If I find out it was you, i'll hang you like the rest of them".
I dont hold the entire force accountable for the words or methods of one ignorant officer.

I have a low tolerance for punks Colin. Unlike others who seem to know squat about working in law enforcement it was my first career. Five years of being exposed to a parade of wise asses, most in cars and many near my own age at the time. The demographic doesn't get branded because of a few bad apples, it's gets branded because the majority are immature dumbfucks. 75% of all accidental deaths in the 15-24 age bracket are caused by motor vehicle crashes. It's the number one cause of death among teenagers. Young drivers have the judgment of a speed bump. It wasn't long ago they couldn't even feed themselves but now they know it all. Morons. A vehicle, any vehicle, is not a toy.
I haven't been involved on the wrong end of a traffic stop in 19 years. I haven't been cited for so much as parking ticket in the same time. I've driven this car over 20 years without ever having a front plate and no one has said boo. Why do you suppose all that is while many here are constantly getting "fucked over" by LEOs? It's because the age bracket is a constant source of lawlessness, stupidity, pain, and misery. Each year they cost the system billions of dollars and leave thousands of shattered lives behind. I've witnessed firsthand what children in adult bodies do with cars. Many should be walking until they grow up.
You have to be pretty dumb and ballsy to run from the police, know why they have "wildest police chases" to show how you won't get away.
Unless you driving a 12 sec car going the other way with a median blocking a cop from pulling a quick u turn, you most likely won't get away.
Why not keep a good radar Escort or Valentine and have NO tickets like me, given I've only been driving about 6 months but I'm on average about 10-15 over, yes police can "direct on" you but it has saved me from many tickets already.
