well the xr8 was an auto and with all the extra weight from the police equipment, it wouldve been more than a second slower than a stock manual which makes it even funnier in my mind

Actually in 1995 the police revealed statistics that out of 1800 (give or take) car chases that year involving a WRX, the police lost 80% on the road, and over 10% crashed. The cops caught less than 10% by themselves.
well things have progressed pretty good since 1995. back then an australian car wouldnt have stood a chance against a wrx and the police's tacktics wouldve changed since them to deal with speeders
Well some of our local coppas use wrxes and the ba falcon and VY commdore ones fair move there were some out at woden that were doing near 180km/h sirens flashing and shit.
well i wouldnt be surprised to see a BA XR8 without the speed and rev limiter get up to about 100km/h more on a nice flat straight, but their ethics would probably forbid them from going that fast in the safety of others
280 clicks well anything is possible i guess but also the cops wouldent do thast unless they had to but i think youd have to set a date on the calender for it to happen.
well GT's are geared to do 300km/h and the xr8 has a taller diff ratio so theyd need a fairly long, downhill section of road to achieve that, but if theyre chasin after someone at those speeds, theyd wipe themselves out at the first corner they came across
Well if the cops havent caught them going that fast theyd get wiped out too.
yeh they have some rules that means once they get to a certain speed the have to back off the chase, i think its somthing like 120km/h thats why they just have a lot of V6's in their range cause they arent allowed to use anywhere near the full capacity of the V8's
well theyd only get a v8 pver a v6 or straight 6 for better acceleration, not top speed
I see where patos comming from 120 km/h is nothing even my sunny tops out at 140.
yeh but it is a bit of a questionable spending, how many cars do u reackon are in their fleet australia wide? i got no idea but probably in the thousands, and if the save about 4-5 thousand off the purchase price of a v8 and then more from fuel economy, insurance servicing etc etc it could be a few million dollars better spent on more police to bust up drug dealers etc not have dangerous chases on public roads that end in deaths of innocentsOriginally posted by fpv_gtho
