I would have to say that the majority of police cars not modified. For the simple reason that one cannot escape the eye in the sky. Why spend money modifying

Some places have Vettes for high speed pursuits. It's the same way with running NOX, they only have one or two cars, and not all departments have them.

Houston has been picking up a few chargers for their departments but only see a few a month. They are not modified by the police, but come modified from the factory. The engine is slightly tuned above normal, but the car itself is lighter with less gear in it (stock), of course with added weight of guns and armor it can weight more.

Speaking of state troopers, I think this guy probably got away, no thanks to morons who can't figure out there's a cop behind them...and that they need to move over.
I'm on my bike, going 75 in a 65, I see this car...looks like a mid-90's buick, flying up towards me, I move over...and he goes by doing at least 95-100+... I think, man, what a moron, where's a cop...then I see lights cresting over behind me, and state trooper flies by. He gets caught behind a truck pulling a horse trailer, who for a 1/2 mile blocks the cop. I'm surprised he didn't pull that guy over...lol... But, I think by that point, moron made a quick exit and would have escaped....at least, that's what I would have done... |

Bikes are a different story. Your chance of getting away is over 50% on a bike *if* you know what you're doing.
The downside is rough though. I have a friend who got caught after 3 hours. They blocked all his exit paths and finally nabbed him near his bike. Even though he wasn't riding, the leathers were enough. |

Yeah my room mate in college led virgina police on a 2 hour long pursuit until he ran out of gas. Lets just say you didn't return to our school the following year. No airline will hire you to fly for them after that. It ended his career!

I will say to the guy with the bike who thinks he could outrun the popo...i have seen the ncshp run a fleeing motorcycle off the road before, and i had a local sheriff also force one into a ditch in front of my house. So one more thing to think over before you take off is, if i they do catch up to you, what happens then!

You can always outrun a cop, but you can never outrun the radio.
And most police cruiser mods are geared towards endurance rather than speed (extra coolers for various fluids to survive all-day abuse/idling in the heat, suspension that can take running over curbs all the time, etc). I've never personally seen or heard of a cop car running nitrous, and it wouldn't make much sense (but I guess it's possible). Most urban departments have pretty strict rules on high-speed chases anyways, and rely more on radio support, choppers, and boxing them in with other cars ahead of the route. The idea of a tricked out police corvette trying to literally chase down a street racer is mostly fantasy-land compared to how the real thing unfolds. |

Like I said though, I don't run, never have, never will. Too many risks to yourself and others, including the officers that follow. Running from the police is stupid IMO and like I said, you can't outrun the motorola (radio). |
