Seen the chases in South Africa? Epic stuff. Like a freaking movie with M3s pursuing at high speed and cops hanging out the windows firing MP5s. But look at the number of carjackings there, people are demanding the police do something.

Thanks. It's certainly something that the police need to think about before they go all crazy and chase them. I mean, eventually, if they run long enough they run out of fuel anyway. Might as well tail them from a distance. There was a technology featured on Popular Science where there is a concentrated microwave emitted from a source that fries all the electronics on the car. Looks like a nice way to end things quickly. I just don't know what happened to it. Maybe it never got past the drawing board.
Yea but chances are they've already bought/have one or more. Selling the Z06 would have made more sense. Less tax dollars? This car is not cheap to fix. What are they gonna do when its time for a pit remover. "alright guys, I caught up to the suspect...now what do I do?" "Should I try and shoot my gun at his tires while going 100mph while driving a stick?"
I agree, even better.

here in Edmonton, im pretty sure that we don't have these high performance cars in our police department and we totally don't have a helicopter in the police department either. we only have a helicopter for one of our news stations.

Mah boi, UCP is what all true warriors strive for!
PINGAS!!!!
There was a guy near where I used to live who had a suped up datsun 240z that used to outrun the cops just for the lulz. Radios never did work until they got a car that could actually keep relatively close to him (sherrif was driving his T-bucket with a 327 at the time the call came in) and they finally got him. It was actually kind of sad.

Yessir, it's a 30's Ford T roadster -- or replica body shell -- with a rather ridiculously large V8. The Chevy 350 is a popular one because of it's small size, but you also see old school Hemis and Ford V8s in them. Rear tires are usually way over 300 wide.
I think there might be one or two at the cruise-in I'm going to this weekend. I'll get some pics and stories if anyone is interested.
Turning money into memories.
teens and 20s.... i think 28 was the last year for the T. went to the model A after that. and they are really bizarre vehicles, often having well over 300 hp and a frame that is weaker than a paperclip.

Correct, my bad. I meant to say the T hotrodding and modding started in the 30s. I think the T-bucket term and car as such got coined sometime in the 50s. If I'm not mistaken, it was Norm Grabowski's Kookie that coined it.
These days they're mostly for shows, although they do pop up every now and again at the drag strips just for shits and giggles.
Anyone over 6ft tall will have to go origami on their legs to fit in a T-bucket. I, generally, have more room in a gokart.

one of my least favorite hot rod genres.. i much prefer the lines of a 33-34, or the late 40s- early 50s sedans, chopped and lowered. the buckets are kinda cool for being able to see every aspect of how the car works though. everything is on display.
