POLICE Dodge Chargers!!! Dont try 2 out run them!!!

[GNBRETT]

I think that getting away from a pretty fast cop car is harder then most realize. Even if ur on a bike. On the straight aways the bike will certainly pull away but get into the city streets and things change a little. For one, the chance of them getting T-boned at an intersection increases by 50-60% I bet.

I have seen some really good riders get real nervous during a pursuit and pay more attention to the Police vs. getting away. Just because you are a good rider dosen't always mean your gonna outrun the Police. Don't get me wrong most bikes will smoke most cops no matter what they are driving but things rarely go the way they they thought. The radio is still faster and you still cant out run Trooper #1 (Chopper)

You can screw up in the Police car numerous times and still come out ok. Screw up on the bike and you will eat out of a straw the rest of ur life. Those consequences way heavily on some when playing chicken thru the intersections.

I try telling my friends that there are worse things then death. I refer to Motorcycles as "Donorcycles" when in the city. I can understand the need for speed but build a fast Buick and go just as fast if not faster

The only way he was going to see 178 is with a faulty speedo. This is where internet legends start. FYI, my 95 impala SS was running into an aerodynamic wall at 138. Folding in the mirrors allowed 139. That car had some mods and was no slouch. So if things are supposedly going faster, no doubt the speedo is off.

my 94 9C1 hit the fuel cutoff at 146, i think, and it was still pulling when it suddenly just stopped going any faster. other than the lightpoles looking like a picket fence and the fear of a deer deciding to pop out in front of me, it was a very undramatic ride.
and, yes, the speedo was right on- i probably had one of the few 9C1's that still had the proper 235/70/15 tires instead of the 225/70/15's that most people put on them because that's what the computers at the tire shop say a Caprice gets.

There's not enough HP to pull that speed in that car. a 94 C1 doesn't have anything additional over an Impala SS and that hits a brick wall at less than 140. The Impy is lower, has less drag and tires aren't going to make a bit of differance as you're pushing against the air, not a limiter.
I would have to see some kind of speed proof via radar or something else before I'll retract. 260 HP is not going to get you 146 mph.


My bad on the 178 though. :redface:

just reporting what i experienced- and my car seemed to sit kind of low for a 9C1. i think it had Impala springs in it, to be perfectly honest. it was a CHP car- still had a sticker in the doorjam- so maybe they special ordered or installed the Imp springs to make it more impressive when it was in a televised chase or something. it was a good 3" lower front and rear than my 92 was, and was a lot more nimble- despite having over 200,000 miles on the clock.
i've got side by side pics of the 92 and 94 somewhere, and the difference in stance is dramatic...
not that it would matter much, but it had to be a bit lighter than an Impala, too- it's interior consisted of poorly padded front seats and a fiberglass bench where the rear seat was supposed to go and a rubber mat with only a little bit of sound deadener instead of carpet. it's also been established that the 94 was the fastest of the LT1 powered B bodies for whatever reason- it might have been the old OBD1 computer that made the difference.
but it pulled and pulled and pulled and then just stopped at 146 and wouldn't go any faster- which jibed perfectly with everything i'd read about the fuel cutoff in the ecm. i know mechanical speedos can lose accuracy with higher speeds, but a digital speedo ran by the ecm that gets it's speed info from the speed sensor on the trans? i can't see why that would get inaccurate like that.
i really should have kept that car instead of parting it out becasue the trans started slipping. it was the last awesome daily driver car i've owned.

Kinda my thoughts too...

Last summer while painting exterior of the house and a beautiful day, guy on croch rocket went by my house going out of the city to country roads ( which are harder to find, houses everywhere today) at over 70 mph in a 35 mph... you could hear him buzzin around the area, with exhaust and shifting, WELL later that day, he went by my house even faster going into the city, EXCEPT, he had 3 squad cars following around 3 or 4 pm... looked wild, something out of top gun, cars, motorcycle, people, squad cars weaving in and out of traffic,,, my first thought was this guy looked like military guy home on leave pushing limits of life for excitement...

hard to outrun radio communication... never heard the rest of story, but did make me think i should get a scanner...

I've "removed" so many guys and/or body parts from the roads, intersections, and woods from running on bikes its pathetic....don't do it nothing you did is worth it.... and the "I was scared" crap is really getting old. Very few get away...you may get away for the moment. but they will go to your house and get you later while your watching tv.

hard to outrun radio communication...

That's why you don't run, you hide. Ditching the bike in a crowded parking garage during evening rush hour and ripping all the tags off of it might do the trick.

But then there is those pesky serial numbers to deal with...

Like is was said before, hard to outrun the Motorola.

Kamikaze comes to mind, go as fast as you can then crash into death, matter of time... your lucky he is in jail and not in funeral home... or cemetary... it is natures way of slow down or death is next...

which do you prefer to visit, lucky he walked away... another question was he wearing a helmet

choice: police or firemen using firehose on road to clean it off like a splattered bug, look up motorcycle crashes, high speed chases...

PS I had a bike too, top end 125 at 18 years old, my cousin, pretended to be superman when car pulled in front becuz he was going over 100 mph and didn't judge his speed correctly... who the heck thinks a bike or car is going over 100 mph on the road... som people can't even see a bike at 25 mph, if your true brother, kick his arse, pinch his testicles, next time he is gone, from earth and in the grave... tell him to use a gun and play russian roulette...
not even funny... if he were my brother... stupid is as stupid does...


"The truck driver was not hurt," says Captain Matt Kirkland. "He said that the impact was so strong that he thought he was hit from behind by another truck."

Officers said there was no indication that drugs or alcohol played a factor in the accident.

Sobering Insurance Statistic

fact or fiction

I was reading some insurance co. statistics a couple of weeks ago. The average lifespan of a new GSXR1k, R-1, CBR1k, etc is about 4 days. Now, we know why full coverage insurance is so expensive, and some companies will not underwrite motorcycles.

I doubt that. I would have to see some official stats before I would believe those numbers.

 

[GNregistry]

BTW, top end of my cycle wasnt top end, but in my head it was fast enough, to it feels like your floating, life goes by super fast... and you think matter of time before they scrape you off the road...

I purchased a Brand New SHAFT Driven 1983 Honda 550 Nighthawk my senior year of HS... wicked smooth... everyone else was driving chain driven, then came along the 87 Buick Grand National, and the excitement of car took over my speed, at least I was in a car, except it was TTOP, if I crash and rollover, glass will be everywhere, including in me... safety first...

Back in the day, I had a buddy that succeeded in out running the radio on a old school bike. He had a old school CB or GS bike that was "borrowed" from Baltimore. Every two or three days so he would swap tags with what ever bike he could fine that way he "fresh" tags. One day he was flying down the road and long story short he ended up in a high speed chase. He finally got away and ditched the bike in the woods. He started walking home and decided that he would stop at the first house to call a friend to come get him. So he stopped at first house he came to and knocked on the door. He told the guy that he ran out of gas and needed to use the phone. The guy said that he was in the middle of a phone call and he had to tell them good bye. He waited in the living room for the guy. The guy came back into the room and handed him the phone. Next thing he knew there was a knock on the door and a whole bunch of Troopers behind it. Unluckily for him, the guy was exFBI and was listening to the whole chase. His phone call was to the State Police. Not long after this he broke into a local Gun dealer and got caught again. After that I lost contact and heard he was down in Baltimore living in a Crack house.

Back in the day I outran the cops many times and have been caught only once...When I used to do it on my motorcycle it was very easy,Id run them down into a area I knew and cross threw yards and sometimes into a dirt road area and drop my feet and dust them and sometimes go of into the woods with my street bike...The one time I was caught on my bike,after MANY times of fleeing,I was in North Port area and had over 15 cops chassing me threw that crazy town,I ditched the motorcycle and went on foot only to have to turn myself in to retrive my bike they found under a cover I removed from a boat...I was in the town visiting and had no clue where I was...I got fleeing to elude,wreckless,careless,illegal tag,illegal sticker on tag,no motorcycycle license and speeding...

Now I did outrun them twice in my t-type and got away(illegal tag) I was racing a friend and had 2 cops come up on us with lights,I got in front of my friend and turned hard right with the cop on me,my t-type was built good so I pulled him hard then went left right straight and lost him....So it aint too hard..I also even did it in a new ford stepside truck I had bought with my wife inside....Im not crazy enough to do it now,and the cops are quicker to throw a copter up to do chase...I also outran them once in my 68 mustang when I was 18,but it helps to know the roads...

I also found out that they are hard core about fleeing to elude and if the officer crashes im up for manslaughter so I would NEVER do it again,this was when I was alot younger with no kids or life to worry about...

As far as that charger goes I would bet any amount that thing does not have no turbo on it and wouldnt see the 10s even with nitrous,that would be too much power for cops to handle while holding a donut

I think the bike was doing 178 on the radar.. and to tell you the truth.. unless the bike was hopped up.. i don't think it would still be doing 178 MPH..
I was a 1999 Yammy right.. anybody who rides that fast needs to be caught.. I know the police chargers were rated at 140+ MPH.. Those new PPV Tahoes will do 135 ... I know.. I drive one.. :biggrin:

For one, the chance of them getting T-boned at an intersection increases by 50-60% I bet.

I bet his chance of being t-boned is 50-60% in a city chase. Chance probably increases over 1000x in a pursuit.

And when T-boned on a bike you'll generally lose a LEG ! !
