FWIW MSP requirements for pursuit rated vehicles is a 9.2 Second 0-60. Dont forget we were running 351 Crown Vics that were doing 11 second 0-60s in the late 80s that were 'pursuit rated'

The 3.55 Equipped 2008 CVPI will run around 8.2 Seconds to 60. 8.36 for the 3.27 Equipped Car.

The CVPI has a Limit of 129mph with the 3.55 rear end, 133 with the 3.27 Rear end.

The Chevrolet Wimpala with the 9C1 Package runs 8.2 to 60 and a Top Speed of 142 mph.

Hemi Charger Police runs 6.2 to 60 and 148 mph

3.5L Charger Police 8.6 to 60 and 132 mph.

Police Tahoe, 8.3 to 60 and 127 mph.

The Hemi Charger and Police Tahoes are very popular now, but also the most expensive to buy. The 9C1 wImpalas are the cheapest to purchase, but a lot of Municipalities find that 9C1s have shorter service life, higher repair costs, and lower residual resale than the CVPI, which sports traditional full body on frame construction. The Impala is FWD and Unibody, and not as tough as a CVPI. I miss the B Body 9C1.

Ghost Rider outruns them all the time!:D:cool:

I know people who have passed cops at crazy high speeds, 150++ and they just kept going. Your better off pretending you didn't see them and get away than stop and get arrested.:D

I agree. I loathe Limpy Limply Bisquick and now this video too. I didn't know the hot dog flavored water infected those outside our borders. That is really sad. Of course, they Hassle the Hoff too.....so I suppose it shouldn't be surprising.

I'd wet myself at 130mph (sustained), I don't care what anybody says.

When I was young and foolish, I discovered the best thing to do is pull over immediately so they don't have to chase you and hope they don't bring you straight to jail. At best, you will just have to pay a large fine and you will get to go home with your license.

Pull off the highway, put the car in the garage for 6 months.:D

I love watching the Gumball video's in Europe they just ignore the cops and are in another country in like 5 minutes.:D Except for France those guys were jerks. A prince from Denmark invited them in after the police tried to ban the rally, so the cops couldn't do anything but watch!:D:cool:

Marrocco was the best, the cops lined up and watched the burn outs and had a grand old time. A Ferrari nailed a farm tractor and the cops were like to the farmer its no problem the government will handle it just forget about it.:D I guess whoever is in charge of Marracco loves the Gumball so they pretty much tell the police to help them and stay out of their way.:D:cool:

If I was a cop I'd let the nice cars go. If your in a POS like a Honda doing 120 your going to jail, if your in a MB or a nice European car I'd wave you on.:D
