I'd like to see you taken any sort of sharp turn at 110 moron

You need to define "sharp turn". No car could make a sharp turn at 110 except maybe an F1. But again, it depends on what you consider a sharp turn.

Additionally, I have yet to see a sharp turn on any major freeway that cant be taken at 65 or greater in ANY vehicle, barring construction lane changes.

65 is quite a bit different than 110. I vaguely remember taking a turn on a freeway in KS sometime back going a tad over 100 in an Explorer. I had to not just let off the gas, but brake. And I was not confident in the car at all while navigating it.

I find it somewhat appalling that most of you find it funny that a police officer was injured and that the criminal was able to escape.

If my memory serves me correct, that part of loop 410 is pretty ass to drive on (think it was under construction, but that may have been a couple of years back) so one wrong move at a high rate of speed very well could be quite dangerous. Also it is pretty entertaining how many of you arm-chair race car drivers think it is easy to navigate a winding highway at 100+MPH. As somebody else stated, there is a massive difference between 65MPH and 100MPH.

my rule of thumb for freeway interchanges is that in my car i can comfortably make it through at ~50% higher than the posted limit. :p Of course slowing down a bit entering and accelerating out.

lol not really.. 100 is where my speedo started on my bike... soo smooth in the commuter lane that id look down and i id swear i was only doing 60 and id would be 95+ and you couldnt even tell.. very smooth and well in control... but then gain this bike was built to run 150+mph on a tight twisty track..

100 in a world class sports car or a sportbike is pretty much nothing 100 in a grocery getter is a whole different ball game...

sit on homeplate and wait for cooldown game over... my best was over 1.5 million bounty in 1 session..

I was just under $2M before getting busted on that one. :(

Lots of time runs the bounty up. Two SUV's crossing the median at me + handbrake with two corvettes on each side = HUGE bounty and mess in rearview. Digital destruction = fun. They need a RIAA/MPAA scene. ;)

EDIT: I had a chance to crash into the chopper but chickened out as I thought it may be too much. :eek: I'll have to try this again.

Are you running a non-widescreen res on a widescreen monitor?

It's brand new for me. I'd play games 10 years old but they won't run on this stupid computer. :frown:

2560x1600 using a hack as the game doesn't support anything higher than 1600x1200.
