Contour get-away vehicle...

[gooserex]

Did anyone happen to see the coverage of this latest high speed chase on CP24? The car in question was a 99+ Black Contour /w OE spoiler. hehe

I didn't get a chance to see any badging since the arrest was made at night and so was the filming on CP24.

Must have hit the speed limiter.

Not till 184kph.

Hahahahahaha
I remember testing that fact out.

I say it's WES, he just won't admit it and Aaron was in the chase car.

Saw this on the news this morning and had a good laugh, I thought the same thing about the speed limiter. What speed are the Cops limited to (for safety reasons) when it comes to a chase?

I know you don't have the zetec.
What I meant was that you would hold back so as to not draw attention to
yourself after one car was already being chased. smart move...LOL

I like your thinking, I might just have to do that in the Spring time when Wes and I cruise .

It's dependent on the speed rating. The Crown Vics and Impala's come with H Rated tires which are rated to 130MPH< so they cut out at 128MPH. If you mean at what speeds will they cut a chase off at, I believe that varies from department to department.

 

[SVTCANUK]

Well that's good because the SVT has Z rated tires and goes 142mph

Except you can't outrun Motorola.

Especially in the time it takes to get the contour up to those speeds.

LOL it does take a lot of road to hit top speed.
