As I'm sitting here, bored, reading up on stuff, I hear "turbo-charged, all wheel drive" on World's Wildest Police Chases on FX so I turn around and this guy is in a sweet car chase. I guess he purposely got a cop to chase him and he floored it, doing 140 on straightaways and 120 around the curves. lol. The cops were losing him, so this other cop shows up in his "police Mustang 5.0" and the guy is on his a$$. The Talon keeps running from him and is doing all kinds of crazy (yet sweet) things like cutting people off and brake-checking them, causing the cops to nearly hit them. lol. They said he had run from cops numerous times.
Anyways, the guy in the Talon hits a bunch of curves and starts to gun it when he hits another straight road and his engine started missing and eventually gave out on him. The 5.0 spun the guy out and they caught him bla bla bla. I was just thinking, "If that was a Toyota or a Subaru, that guy would have gotten away." lol. Cops must be thanking Chrysler and Mitsu for making engines with shxtty reliability. It looked like the guy lived in his car too... It should have had a "trailer park tuner" sticker. lol. ***In no way, shape, or form, do I think trailer parks are bad places to live. You just can tell when a car came from the trailer park. lol. In the one around town, there are 17 Celicas... only one is a 7th gen. No 6th gens, and it was divided even between 4th and 5th gens.*** Pointless rambling -------------------- 1987 Celica ST (RIP) 1st car too

QUOTE(SlowCelica94 @ Jul 20, 2005 - 8:44 AM) a subby? If it was a subbie, it wouldn't of gotten away. And if it was a toyota it'd have to be a supra or mr2 with the boost cranked....then the 3S would lift the head. [right][snapback]314645[/snapback][/right] a turbo charged car should not be held at WOT for more than 40 seconds at a time things get way too hot and everything is heatsoaked, the engine bay, the intercooler, the turbo, cooling system, and the manifold/downpipe and if you look at that video, the guy is a moron, he could have easily gotten away, but he keeps slowing down and letting the cop catch up so he can show off. if it was my subaru in that chase, driven like that, it would blow up, but then again, the car gets to 130mph in like 15-17 seconds the car would definately be at its top speed(160mph) before 40 seconds are up. a stock WRX would probably take that kind of driving a lot better than mine, but it sure as hell wouldnt be able to ever hit more than 145mph, and it would take much longer to get there no turbo car would survive a beating like that, something NA would have a better chance of surviving. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
