Even Cops like to street race.

I just saw this happen about an hour ago. One of our local Cops and a county Cop were talking abut a small chase they had a while back and got in an argument about whos car was faster. The town Cop said that his 2004 Impala was faster than the county Cops 2005 Crown Vic. The County Cop said well lets find out. If I win, you buy the McDonalds and if you win, I buy. Now mind you, this is in a gas station at 11:15 at night. The Cops pull out in front of the gas station and at a 10-15 mph roll, they both hit it. Get this, they went off the county Cops siren. The Impala was leading when the went out of sight but the Crown Vic was pullin' up preety quickly. I would have loved to have seen the end but I was to dumb-struck to get in my truck and follow.

im a criminal justice major, so most of my teachers are ex cops. What you just told me is not uncommon at all. I know its sad, but cops break laws like that all time. One of my favorite stories from my teachers is this one. He said when he was working the graveyard shift with absolutely nothing to do, the cops on duty would go to the local grocery store and have shopping cart races. They would push the shopping carts up to like 60 MPH with the front bumper and let em rip.

lol thats some crazy shit..haha one time my best friend raced a security guard or something. All i kno is that it had one of the sirens and the symbol for security on it.

About the cop tryin to race you...if they seduce YOU into racing, i dont think they can legally get you for it...

shopping cart racing

If I would have seen the two cops racing, I would have pulled up next to them, and hopefully beat them. Aren't the cop cars like 16 second cars?

I don't know but i've seen some of those cop cars with some badass engine upgrades. Some of those chevy caprice cop cars had 383 strokers with about 350hp. Seen one in the want ad.

I dont think so. A friend of mine has a 2001 Intrepid cop car, got it at auction. It runs mid 11s. The only thing hes done to it is very minor suspension work. I dont know if this is an isolated case or not, but that car hauls some serious a$$!

I been married for close to 25 years so this story is really old, but while we were dating I had to have her home by 2 AM and I'd be back home by about 2:30, for a whole summer every Saturday night on my way back from dropping her off, like clockwork I would see 2 of the township squad cars lined up in each lane of the interstate with the lights blazing and they both take off from a dig, or the run was already in progress and and both would stay right in it until the first exit 2 miles down then the lights go off and they exiit at the ramp and both go their separate ways. There have been many times I wanted to join in and see if I could keep up or outrun them but the thought of a ticket just didn't appeal to me because if I fought the ticket it was 2 against 1.

were talking 1/4 mile, not 1/8th. And unless you got some kind of proof, i highly doubt it.

Some cops on other forums i visit say that thier new crown vics run mid to low 16s.

What about the "special police packages"? Anyone from texas or florida, I used to hear about the stangs and camaros they would have on interstates to catch the speeders.

My Sunday School Teacher is an Oklahoma Highway Patrole officer. He had a special edition Z28 and he said it was scary fast and could turn on a dime.

the special police packages if i'm not mistaken are suspension only upgrades. No motor work i don't think.

Texas here, I think the Chase cars have some serious work, but the regular ones dont. I talked to my dad (cop in a coupla states, both chase and cruiser cars), and he says they have a little bit of work, but not a whole lot. Considering they have an extra 300-400 lbs worth of saftey stuff and equipment on the inside, you'd have to think that the 16 seconds, with all that shit removed, would be pretty fast. I know in Texas, the Pomaros have a chip and some other stuff, and I think they use an SS.
