How fast can the coppers go?

I've always wondered....


I'm guessing if you are going fast enough they just have to call ahead and try to get assistance on pulling you over, because a bike/fast car flying by a cop that is sitting still using the radar would be a major PITA to catch up to...


 
here: the light bar cars (which are crown vics atm) go 120mph the non light bar cars (also crown vics) go 160mph or so. they havn't had a chance to test them beyond that 😉

now they have a bunch of different cars, so I don't know anymore
 
I always worried about Choppers and Road Blocks more. 3 of us passed a cop in the median on the interstate doing 150+ on bikes with a 350z beside us. Cop didn't even turn on his lights, but I was looking for a roadblock or chopper the rest of the way to Daytona (60 Miles)

Agreed, though if you pass a cop going 100+ you would probably be better off just taking the next exit that isnt within his line of sight, and hiding/taking back roads for a while? right?
 
They will chase after you, and have buddies ahead come after you. Havent you ever seen cops or those chase videos? Sometimes when cops are using radars, they have a hele above them timing you go from point A to point B, and if your going fast enough, the hele will just follow you. Of course thats on the Interstates.
 
Camaros topped out at 160 w/o the bar.
Crown Vics about 120 (a few years ago, I'm sure it's higher)
Tahoes about 110
Here they also have three different motorcycles (Suzuki, HD, and BMW)


...but there's a LOT of CHP that have shown up in the last year or so. I see them three times more often than I used to, and more often multiple at once.

if you can make him lose sight of you before he can get a good description of your car and/or license plate, then I suppose you might be safe
 
Regular Impala's are governed to 124mph, I don't know if the 9C1 and 9C3 police issue ones have the governor or not. I want to say yes seeing as the 9C1 and 9C3 only come with H speed rated tires.

Edit:
3800 Series II SFI V6 with Top Speed Fuel Cut-Off at 124 MPH

Wonder if the cops get custom chips with a higher speed cut-off.

2.6L more displacement. 😀

Hell, my truck (read: brick) can bang a 115MPH limiter. 🙂
 
Stats from the wife, who drives one 😀 :

Crown Vic: 0-60 in under 7 seconds, 120 MPH top speed (gets unstable after 100mph)

Checy Caprice: About the same

Camaro/Mustang: 0-60 5-6 second range, 150MPH top speed
 
Steps to avoid beign caught by persuing police officers:

1) Speed
2) Head towards airport
3) ...
4) Profit


😉

Almost saw a pair of criminals get away, as they were eluding the police on the streets and the choppers had to pull back from the restricted air space. Then about 3 minutes later, "Chopper Pilot: They are back on the highway!". Morons
