Supra vs Skyline

[fpv_gtho]

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

[Nildo]

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.

[fpv_gtho]

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

[Falcon500]

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.

[fpv_gtho]

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

[Falcon500]

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.

[fpv_gtho]

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

[Falcon500]

Well if the cops havent caught them going that fast theyd get wiped out too.

[pato]

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

[fpv_gtho]

well theyd only get a v8 pver a v6 or straight 6 for better acceleration, not top speed

[Falcon500]

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 innocents
