They don’t just pit at the drop of a hat you know. Also the cop probably wouldn’t be able to keep up with a race prepped 2002 in any situation really.

vansoth | April 1, 2009 at 7:05 pm

That’s a publicity stunt.

hahaha thats awesome i love 2002’s… that thing must be pretty worked. Still an m10?

I’m not familiar with 2002’s, never driven one, and there aren’t really a ton of them around where I live, but it’s obvious it’s a very light car, with a better power to weight ratio and far better handling than that bulky loaded down crown victoria, yet he still managed to keep up just a bit, even with the 2002 driver slowing down some, it’s still an impressive feat for such a big car. It’d be comparable to me racing my pops in his (non CVPI) crown vic in my souped up saturn…

yeah, if you’re familiar with 2002’s you can see there’s a few places where he’s not really giving it the beans.

Well, the 2002 slows down at least once to let the cop catch up. The course loops back on itself, and the cop was falling back enough that there could have been a collision if the 2002 didn’t slow like he did.
Props to the 2002 driver for having the presence of mind to realize that while negotiation the course.

bueno bueno bueno, Divertido so funny…

nasonguy | April 1, 2009 at 7:05 pm

Gotta give that big crown vic some props, for a car that weighs almost 4000 pounds, it kept up pretty good with that little flyweigh beemer.

Do not drive in Salem after 11pm, too many fascists with nothin’ to do !

54spiritedwill54 | April 1, 2009 at 7:05 pm

I Love 2002s! <3
My Brother and I would drift in his when it was raining, amazing!!

Ray Korman “Uncle Ray” of Greensburg’s spartan berb built a race prepped 2002 with a 483 rear and 323 camshaft and smoke the race circuit. There’s a dentist who retired with a mental illness in Charlottesville Va that has a huge barn full of these cars that he collect earlier in life. He’s probaly a spiritualist in the company of little bimmers.

I know you’re not going to believe this. Those 1600-2002’s were farm vehicles. They leave them in the barn under a stack of hey. No straw boss intended. That little car is equalent to the Atomic four similar to the british 105e. And get this, there’s no job it can’t do. I’ve seen Cart driver jump double trrain cattle cars where the b;lack top got laid correctly. You can tell. The recovery is no cattlecatcher kaboose prize. The nose dive bends the front towing hooks. The Tii works underwater. 999

protocall1957 | April 1, 2009 at 7:05 pm

That’s a turkis green tii, I believe – a 74. Probably rebuilt engine with 165hp, heavy sway bars lowered gumball tires etc. It appears to have the stock 3:64 rear end. If he swapped it out to the hard to get 4:11 he would such the doors off a police car on that kind of track…the race-prepped 2002 will outcorner a Ferrarri – w/600lb coil-over spring suspension…

trogodo | April 1, 2009 at 7:05 pm

it will spin and spin and spin out…. thats why they only use it in highway….

PseudoScienceb20 | April 1, 2009 at 7:05 pm

No fair. Try this with the ZO6 highway patrol car.

tj7723 | April 1, 2009 at 7:05 pm

haha thats great, i have tried to get the cops to chase me on the autocross but they wont do it any ways 5 starts

skinnyirishman | April 1, 2009 at 7:05 pm

one more to say the bmw2002 is lite as a feather to the interceptor, power to waight ratio is not a joke i.e drag racing any racing. you should show respect that that big car could even be laging close to that pony car. ps i wanna slap the woman laughing in this video . lol thanks for posting your vid.

skinnyirishman | April 1, 2009 at 7:05 pm

just dont get it do you . heres a case where the cvpi might win when the beemer goes on a dirt road or off the road for that matter. beemer might get caught . not knockin the bmw it a bad m.f. fun clip thanks

KinetiKat | April 1, 2009 at 7:05 pm

Is this a joke?

fndrjbass | April 1, 2009 at 7:05 pm

wow. what the fuck crawled up your ass today?

TheSofaFox | April 1, 2009 at 7:05 pm

No shit it was staged, you really think if the cop was truly after him he wouldn’t just cut across the whole track and pit him? You’re a genius.

limitedslip | April 1, 2009 at 7:05 pm

ahah funny shit !!

fndrjbass | April 1, 2009 at 7:05 pm

staged. but still funny

speedboat | April 1, 2009 at 7:05 pm

A friend and I street raced on Maui, his 2002 and my Karmann Ghia. I caught him on the turns, he left me pulling away.

Chronic2112 | April 1, 2009 at 7:05 pm
