You must work in an urban detachment Manny... I think the Impala is a superior PC in a built up area(city), but the 300HP Caprice is second to none for highway patrol in rural Alberta. I was talking to a Mountie who was in a chase with his Caprice LT-1 "slick"(sans light-bar)... he had it up to 270kph. I don't know why GM stopped making those PC's.

And I ALSO don't like the Ford Crown Vic... in the winter, the back end feels so loose it feels like your towing a trailer. The range on those things was sad too. You had to fill it up twice/shift. Compare that to the 90 litres the Caprice can hold(80L tank/10L reserve).

reminds me the special Camaros the Provincial Police has here. Basically a Z28 with a Corvette engine (340HP I think).... now that must be interesting, but I doubt it could be useful in rural environment.

142mph on an old Honda Interceptor V-Four.



I haven't found my mind since.

The fastest I have driven was top speed in my z-28, it said 150 on the speedometer.

The fastest I have been in a car was 170 in a modified 911 at the Atlanta road course. I will take their word for it, because I had my eyes closed for part of it.

Biggie,

You should try driving through Europe on the autoban - I though I was gonna die I was so scared my first time. But you know what, you really do gain respect for speed and how to be a mindfull driver.

I can handle speed if I am the one driving. The thing about the ride in Atlanta was even though the driver was a trained sportscar racer, I was more scared because I didn't have any control.

As for the autoban, I would have to place a lot of trust in the other drivers. I have too many trust issues for that.

deeyam...170mph on anything other than a track is retarded fast. i would love to be able to experience that and not have to worry about losing control due to hitting a bump or whatever. it would be hard to beat grabbing a z06 or viper and opening it up in the middle of the salt flats where you don't have to worry about a got dern thing.

Nothin' too spectacular

I hit 105mph in a 1995 dodge sundance.

It was a rental car and it was the year 1996.

About 220 km/hour in my '94 Talon. Holy fuck that was fast. Stupid thing to do, but damn it was a rush.

I've got a pic of the spedo around here somewhere....

I've since driven a Viper and a few Posches, but I behaved myself. Got the viper up to around 190km/hour, and it was still accelerating like crazy...I bet I coulda cleared 250 easy.
