Two guys in a Ford GT try and run from the cops...

you don't even need a fast car to run from cops. You can do so in a Civic...as long as you hit the gas as soon as you see the cop.

You gotta remember that he is accelerating from a dead stop.

- it takes a while for him to figure out that you just passed him going above the speed limit and that he needs to pull you over.

- so at 45 seconds he is just inching into traffic, and waiting for an opening. If you ever had to stop on the side of the highway, you know what a bitch it is to merge into traffic. But for a cop people slow down, so let's say it takes him only 45 seconds to merge.

- at 1:30 he finally gets into traffic and starts accelerating

- at 1:45 he hits 70 mph

- at 2:00 he hits 90-100 mph and is starting to gain on you.(provided you are going ~85)

- at 4:00 he sees you in sight.

During those 4 minutes, you'll pass 2-3 exits, which you can take to lose him.

Def. doesn't take a cop car 15 seconds to get to 70. A fuckin Ford Tempo can do it in 15 seconds lol

Most highway speed traps I've seen around here (Maryland) have another police car a couple miles ahead. So if you blow by the first guy, the second guy will be ready for you.

That is what I don't get about their plan. They are in a fairly remote area because they drove quite a while before the next exit so even though they could obviously get away from 1 car, there is always more up ahead on an interstate like that.

I think it's an exciting video though, running from cops is definitely a high stakes game in the states.

Wreckless Driving and Speeding

Looks like they have emergency LED strobes on both passenger and driver side near the sun visors. Wonder why they didnt turn them on. Would have definitely aided in their getting away, however another charge for violation of emergency lighting if they do get caught.

Quite sophisticated though with a lookout, Valentine V1 Radar detectors, and radios.

They passed a super-speeder law in Georgia. It adds $200 onto any ticket (in addition to local charges - and some local police are insane) for someone driving 75 and over on a two-lane road, or 85 and over on an Interstate.

You know they'd get you for any charges, like reckless endangerment, that they could. Tickets are the police, sheriff, and state patrol's biggest source of income.

There's also the possibility you get yanked out of the car and get the shit beat out of you.

that's the advantage of driving a car well into the 6 figure price point.

usually you don't rip people who may piss away millions or contribute millions to politician's campaigns out of cars and beat the shit out of them.

now a minority in a turbo civic? Lol piece out with your nightstick sandwich bro.
