New Top Speed 182mph

[Morphius289]

All I know on this matter is that some European police force(France?) got a Lamborghini Gallardo for high speed highway chases.

[Igovert500]

well at that point, their top speed doesn't matter to much, because the cop would have to go 0-182mph, by that time you would be miles ahead. At that point all you are trying to outrun is the radio. Anyway, congrats Red, that takes balls.

Heh...My boss and I were doing 125 in his 04 BMW 325i and passed a cop. The cop slammed on his breaks and that was all we saw of him. We went about 1/3 mile or so farther then turned off and got out of there like a bat outta hell. We really dont have any ghetto birds around here though so we were good to go.

182MPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn I can't wait to get me a VR-4, this damn SL goes to the crapper after 110mph, not safe, so can't push it.

Oh, at 182mph, like they said, floor it and take the next exit and bail!!!! or your nice VR-4 will be impounded, and those damn tow truck driver will not treat it with love, but you might get some love from your cell mate.

Here in GA, we've got a Camaro, tops out at 155mph I think, thank god we are in USA not Italy, Gov budget is always under funded to support exotic car except for TX, I hear they have or had a Countach lamborghini.

Texas highway patrol also has a viper as for countries with nice police cars germany has some RUF tuned 911 turbos *just incase sombody commits a crime and trys to run on the autobahn*

about how fast is a crown vick. I'm not shure what kind of engine they have around here, but they cant be that fast can they?

[Morphius289]

V8 engine, I have no idea how fast they are but I doub't they do the quarter in more than 15 seconds.

[SHO411]

crown vic was tested at 130mph I think by sport compact, but to be on the safe side estimate 140mph, they can't go past that.


How about throwin a slushy at him and finding out........................... :^0

[AutostradaVR4]

^^they have a tuned stang motor i believe

Damn 182MPH that's hella fast, well alot of you are proably who the hell is this chump well i use to go on AF all the time maybe Youngvr4 will remmber or maybe even Igovert but i havent been on for at least 6 months but the first time i post a thread saying i got to 170 stock and still sticking to my story, i did but back when i was young 17 now 20 lol i learn not to speed alot anymore because not having a liscense for 3 months sucked cause i didnt get to drive me baby. That's awsome going 182 maybe one of these days when im out of college i can finally do some stuff to my VR4 and top that, but let me tell ya going 170 stock took a good mile or two but it was fun. If you guys are wondering who i am you can check my photo cause i still havent figured out how to put pictures on my name yet, but go to the pictures of your 3000GT go to pg 7 and scroll down till you see azn3000GTRacer yu'll see two pictures. Im gonna try to get on more often i miss talking 3000GT to fellow 3000GT owners!!

funny i just mentioned you the other day when someone asked how fast the stock vr4 can go.... i said highest i've heard of is 171mph

were ya been anyway?

[xXxRocker5150]

someone said that the police crown vics had an extra overdrive gear that they can turn on for high speed chases... now IDK how true that is, but that's what I heard.

[VR43000GT]

I did some research and the Cop crown vic does 0-60 in 9.2 sec. I couldn't find a 1/4 mile time though. I think the engine is the 4.6L stang engine without as much tuning though. I think it has like 235 HP or so. Thats not so special in a car that big.

[compaqpunch]

Thats good to know just incase i ever have to run from one.

[SthTx3000gtSL]

Just about any cop car you see (including the new Impala and Malibu cruisers) have an Interceptor class pursuit engine in them. It is a tuned engine from the factory (Ford or Chevy) Its pretty damn quick but tops out at 145. Texas used to have Fox body Cobra 5.0 pursuit cars but they had so much power that they were twisting frames. (kind of ironic that 5.0s were driving 5.0s huh) They then went to Camaros then ditched those also.
