I've never seen an example of the helicopter actually "stopping" a pursuit though.Originally Posted by rev440
They just follow the car.
I have seen UK helicopter police landing and getting out to arrest car thieves.
Thanks for all the fish
This might be off topic but I was thinking about buying a Camaro Z28 between the model years of 1998-2001 when I turn 21. I have been told Camaros are reliable when maintained. Plus, I want a car that is fast and has a great V8 rumble. The car that I have, which is a W123 230E eats the same amount of gas as the camaro and is nowhere near as fast... What do you guys think? Should I buy a Camaro?
well in the end you can say this you can take a european car into america and it will do fine, but the other way round it doesnt work aswell.
that shouldnt be the case why should american car companies make cars that cant handle if they dont need to why not put in the extra effort and make the cars quality and not just quantity?

Best to ask Ford who have for decades made dumbed-down versions of the European cars for sale in the US. Usually one behind on chassis/suspension/engine. Crazy !!!! Of course some think they're the same and judge the Ford ROW small cars based on these !!!

They dont really stop the crooks themselves, they follow it so they know its location and can tell the officers on the ground where they are going. Without them its alot more likely the thieves would escape, with them its very very more likely they will get cought. You cant get away from a helicopter, especially these days with technology. Night vision, heat vision etc....Originally Posted by Coventrysucks

I think its b/c Ford as a whole has trouble knowing what people in foreign countries want. They focus on americans their biggest market and know how to do that, but overseas they have trouble. maybe they are a bit slow, i dunno. But anyways this may be why they created Ford in england that is run by different people. This way those people will know what people in europe want and they create euro spec cars that the people there like.Originally Posted by matek

and those are the cars that Americans get to see watered down versions of, one generation laterOriginally Posted by scottie300z

The European platform and technology turns up in the US version anything from 2 to 5 years LATER.Originally Posted by scottie300z
Overseas Ford has NO trouble knowing what the buying public wants as they regularly are in the top 5 in all European nations

No, they won't do fine. I believe it was Matra who once said, 'American cars are better on American roads; European cars are better on European roads.'Originally Posted by matek
If Ford and GM started making cars for Europe, the most important thing that would happen would be a downsize of the car. While I would prefer it, myself, they wouldn't sell. Why do you think there are cars like the Suburban and Excursion, anyway?
