What type of car was that?
I might get one.

the police package is not that exciting. The engine is about the same. the car gets a beefed up suspension, upgraded transmission, oil cooler, radiator... few other minor things.

Till you go out west like in arizona

We have a few of those over here, I know we have a couple of lotus esprits and a few Mitsubishi Evo's, but they're rarely used (not many high speed chases go on

)

speaking of, if you guys are ever in a movie rental place and see one of those cannonball run videos. rent it. good stuff.

We have police Cameros here on the interstate in NY. Not exactly a 'vett but still plenty fast enough.

they're also much lower to the ground.. reduces air resistence allowing them to accelerate even faster. GO PO-POS

That guy is nothing but a skilled driver. He always went to the outside of the median he was being PITTED into. (PIT=Police Interception Technique) which is a maneuver used to spin/disable fleeing vehicles that are considered a risk. This guy was able to downshift after he spun, roll backwards a good 50 feet, and do another 180 degree correctunal turn going backwards TWICE. That guy is an excellent driver. Not to mention that reverse maneuver he did off the freeway.

awesome! a bump and run!

OfaLoaf · 2004-04-30, 07:04 PM

I do that all the time in GTA3.

yea, but most proformance cars can still win. most of the time they wont go that fast to chase someone.

that was pretty cool. more luck then skillful driving I think.
