screw mustangs how about vettes and vipers thats a good detterent for kids in jap cars who think they can outrun the cops

obviously you haven't seen the "New" Ford GT! It's being totally rebuilt from the ground up to match the original (complete with the Gurney bubble) but with modern day engineering. It was said that while running at 70 mph accelerating to 130mph happened in 1.3 seconds, lets see a viper do that!

PS not to stray from topic, but how does one spell check in FireFox?

Everyone knows that you can't outrun the radio...and the helicopter.
If you are in the LA area, you can't outrun the news copters

And if you've had issues with banks, you know you can't outrun a bad check.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to think of, the new Ford GT. I saw the new Ford commercial during the superbowl, and it's supposed to compete with the "top dogs" McLaren and the rest, I heard.

wouldn't a helicopter do a much better job in terms of delivering organs? also, chasing a perp at 190+ mph would be quite dangerous, once again, the helicopter would do a much better job. at least they get to say they have an italian made cop car.

 

[virividox]

they are italian, using a sexy car is just so much funner than using a chopper

A Viper or Vette wouldn't stand a chance against a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 or a Subaru Spec C on anything other than the driest and straightest of straight roads.

and it's supposed to compete with the "top dogs" McLaren and the rest, I heard.

The Ford GT wouldn't get anywhere near a McLaren F1 or an Enzo... it's heavier and gives away 100BHP to the Enzo. Which incidently trounced the McLaren LM from 0-100-0 by almost a second.

That Ford GT is a cracking bit of kit though... but the GT40 is cooler

...jap cars...

Surely you can do better than that...
