[QUOTE="ChuckV, post: 2073137, member: 27371"] Even today, there are plenty of situations where that could still easily happen. Let's say you pass a cop doing about 90 in the Cobra. You know there's an exit in 1.5 miles. You stomp it, and you're invisibile by the time you reach the exit. It won't even be in the officer's view for another 30+seconds. He probably wouldn't even notice that you decided to run for a while, because it will take a crown vic upwards of 30 seconds to even REACH your original 90mph, at which point you would already be out of view if you just maintained your original 90mph speed. Plus he has to wait for traffic, etc etc. In this situation, you could still make the great escape with negligible risk of being persued off the highway. However, if the officer was driving a car that could be passing 130 when the Crown Vic was passing 100.... it might be a different story. Even if you would still be very far ahead, and gaining rapidly, it would be an easier task to keep you visible. I don't know how the officers on here feel, but I think if I were trying to catch someone speeding, especially from a stop, I'd want a car that could at least hit low 14s @100 or so. There are just too many cars today that will blow a CV-PIP's low 16 in the low 80s away. [/QUOTE]
