Yawn... Seen much much better driving by a WRX being chased in nyc traffic during the 03 blackout.
They seem WAY to calm, shifting seems way too subdued.

on youtube?
 
They could have done it in just about any car, though.

Don't see any sign of running from a pursuing cop.

And where are all the ATOT passing on the right complainers and misuse of lanes complainers? 😀

It's from 2007 and part of a DVD release including the Bull Run.

Clearly something from Bull Run or similar event. These aren't just average joe's out for a stroll on the highway in their CB-equipped, radar station of a Ford GT. Jeez folks

On an unrelated note, why the frick do the YouTube videos I actually want to watch NEVER load quickly. In HD mode and it is not buffering well at all. Damn Google

Yeah it was pretty boring, just a sports car zig zagging through traffic, running from what is probably an imaginary cop.

Actually, if you look far left after the radar in the GT goes crazy, you can see the cop sitting there 😉

...and at the same time, look to his right and he is going the same speed as the Ford truck. Not speeding until well after he went by the cop.

It should be titled "Driving by a cop and then acting like he's chasing us."

Maybe the DVD has video from chase cars...?
 
Well it's an amusing vid for sure, hopefully Joe six-pack don't get clobbered by this type of driving as he's just trying to get the fuck home from his job...
 
That's awesome! What are the sensors on the upper part of the windshield? Radar detector accessories? The visual spotter said "cop, cop" and the driver slowed down and then he got POPed (the radar wasn't going off, he got hit with a POP radar gun which means the cop had to aim it at him and trigger it). This could be viral marketing but I now want to get the DVD.

It's very clear the driver knows how to drive. Pay attention to the shifting, no herky-jerky.

On my way to campus across the freeway, I saw a GM sedan (2002+) car swerve from lane to lane, going back and forth, in one fell swoop he passed through 3 fucking lanes, no signal, nothing, just sweeping in like a fucking broom, going 75+ in moderate traffic.

What a fucking moron, his bumper sticker had a Scottish flag, why am I not surprised?
 
Isn't the GT like you know expensive? What's with the cheesy interior that, other than the steering wheel, looks like it could have out of a Fairmont?

It's legitimately just a race car, not a luxury car, it's pure function.

Okay, I can see that. I was just expecting pangolin skin upholstery or something, that's all.

Thanks. Makes sense.

Watch the driver, watch his eyes and his head in the rear view mirror. Watch.

Oh, and listen to how you properly upshift. You don't slam it.

And I love how the driver controls the throtle! You can hear that his foot isn't really on it but for a few seconds.
 
That's a laser alert on a Valentine One. As for the long bars, those are probably laser jammers, although they look unusually wide. Obviously though, the jammers weren't active.

The sound of that car is amazing. Do fucking want.
