Need to figure that a getaway car is going to have to have a top speed above 140 to outrun helicoptors. Not sure if that covers the EVO or WRX ?? are they geared for top speeds like that if not governed?

The spray can painted flat black 1970 510 my brother used to have, would beat 5.0's in the quarter and handled like a go-kart. Just no curb jumping, but narrow enough to slip thru crowded streets.

one of those pimped Porsche Cayennes or whatever they're called with the beefy engine. Also run-flat tires.

because in a getaway you want speed and the ability to hop curbs/medians. it would make a huge difference in the outcome of the chase. Even on/off-ramp enbankments, climb em and still got the b@lls to haul once you get to the top.

A civic, sure they are slow as hell, but there are trillions of them everywhere. So you would get lost in them all and could slip away. You guys think fast, i think stealth!

This is the best idea. Something that there are a lot of but build it up a bit. motor,suspension,tire mods ect... a90's Crown vic or 02 Impalla w/ supercharger.(white)

hai there was an old newspaper article about a diablo that would go to the local meet and when the cops saw him they would go after him aparently he has ran from the cops in the past. He would speed off and go into the moutians and turn off his headlights so the cops couldn't see him so they had no option but to leave him cause they couldn't see.

this article was in ohio btw

Damn, I was thinking a tank too... You guys ever see, I tihnk it was on Real TV, where that guy stole a tank... His dumbass got caught because instead of running **** over he got stuck on one of those concrete dividers... God, people are so ****ing stupid... If I stole a TANK I don't think I'b be caught by getting stuck...

I don't think the guy in the tank got caught so much as he was just shot dead, there was only the one where he ran it up on a concrete median right? Cuz the cops opened the hatch and put some through his shoulders into his chest.

well hell for that matter, I say take whatever car you'd like, bust out the windshield, and buy some night vision goggles. also if drifter sx agrees, I say we incorporate an unlimited fuel rule.... cuz no one has time to stop for gas when they're being chased by helicopters with gunners....and with this rule a hummer would own all, but before hand frankenstein the biggest engine you can possibly fit in it and modify the transmission gearing for higher speed so its a hell of alot faster than it would normally be. Hummer's versatility + speed = unstoppable. well, i think it would be anyways, i sure as heck can't think of anything better for an all climate all terrain chase

yea the tank guy was dumb....bad part is unless you were right next to the border where you could plow through the wall (if there even was one) you'd run out of fuel. they probably get a whopping 1/4 mile per gallon

Oh, was he shot? I was probably still in shock that the idiot got it stuck...

1/4 mile a gallon? I dont know, but I'd think the could go for a pretty reasonable amount of time... Considering if they'd have to turn back and refuel every hour they wouldn't be very effective war machines...

Hmmm...Id say a 240sx...Not really though, somewhere around the lines of a skyline, sti, evo VII, porsche, ferrarri, lambo, viper, or anything around those lines...Cop cars arent THAT fast though, my 240 actually could get away...Its just they have somethign called a radio and they grab your plate, plus they can set up blocks and they will just get you, bottom line...

thats a sound idea, just get some chaff grenades before hand so you can disable they're electronics while you slip under the bridge, in like flynn baby!

thats what i like to see.. creativity :D all good ideas guys. yeah, i suppose if you have one of those Game Shark cars you could put in the unlimited fuel code and prolly get away... but i agree that a 4wd vehicle would be the best choice. and if its a getaway car.. DITCH the plates, or steal your neighbors so that you DONT get called in ahead ;) i think the best way to ditch a chopper is to head for a multi-level mall parking lot... have another car ready and switch super quick. then drive out nice and slowly, so the switch car should be like a beetle or something
