another great point! i totally forgot about this one! a tint on the window can alter the wave. for example, a radio wave being sent from behind you to ahead of you COULD hit your rear window. the darker tint (and thus greater density of the tinted window now) will alter the properties of the incident raido wave's angle of refraction and reflection. of course, it will always be partially reflected as that is a fundamental property of waves, but if the density of the rear window (again darker the rear window, greater the density b/c more tint), the greater the chance for total internal reflection. this would completely prevent further propagation of the wave forward!

I wasnt sure if anyone else would post the fq (thanks for breaking the ice Brenton!)-it def works-hell, you can mess with one just by driving by (at the speed limit of course 
)-def try that one-they start looking like 4 year olds behind the wheel! :lol:-
the tint also interfers with radio waves-and you usually dont want them to get a good look at you-there is the off chance that there was "another" C63 in the area, maybe it was him, and not you?

Yes, it works fantastically.
One other secret to outrunning a cop is gearing. The reverse gear in a cop cruiser is much too short to maintain speed over 25mph, whereas your C will easily do 35-40. So if you throw it in reverse, you'll be able to beat the cop quite nicely until you have a chance to do a J-turn. Try it.

radar detector don't help much here. the troopers have instant on radar and they don't turn it on until you pass them. works like a charm first time i experienced it i got caught doing 99mph in my slk55 with a radar detector. but the cop was cool and just gave me a warning.

Fine, one more tip...
Keep your car gassed up before engaging the police. Shift change happens at 11am and 11pm for most city departments. If you get into a chase scenario, make sure you can continue to evade until you cross one of these times. The cops chasing you, by union rule, must break chase at the end of a shift. As long as you have enough gas to maintain the run, the pursuing cops will break away for paperwork. The next shift cannot possibly catch up at this point, since they are resuming the chase from the local station.
Maintain the left-right turning pattern to draw out the chase past 11, and you are golden.

This one goes over 190mph..... (italy)
.
This one goes 225mph made by Brabus... (Germany)
.
but for us in the states this would be our hard rub... (USA)
.
.
...But The Radio is much faster

Are you guys kidding?
Radio waves travel at the speed of light like all electromagnetic radiation.
I don't think C63s can travel faster than the speed of light no matter how highly modified. Unless you routinely drive around in a particle accelerator or quantum physics lab.
I wish they could, then I could travel through time.

true, electromagnetic waves do travel at 3.0 x 10^8 m/s, BUT you have to take into consideration many of the other factors mentioned, such as total internal reflection of the incident wave on different mediums and 180 degree destructive interference. i think a black C63 that has a very dark tint and highly modified has a good chance.

Those are ridiculously slow to begin with. When you consider how much weight is added for their equipment we are talking slow; 0-60 in a little over 6 seconds. A GL550 does 0-60 in the same time.

i live in Alabama, a bunch of back woods hicks for law enforcement. No vipers around here. i don't think i have to worry about tickets anymore unless traffic backs me up. i will just run hard and take the nearest exit.

this might be a stretch, but perhaps the aggressive lines on the hood might actually somewhat in a small way simulate those seen on the B2 and help with invisibility?
those are C6 Z06 vettes. not vipers, but you never know. you'd be surprised what some places have. there isnt much out in backwoods. the cobra's i mentioned earlier were actually in Oro Valley near Tucson which is a common place for people to race. i would imagine racing and car modding is common in the "backwoods" of the country where there might not be as much to do.

So you guys are talking about evading radar speed detection?
I think the poster that brought up outrunning radio meant that the cops can just radio ahead to either another vehicle or even helicopter. Plus by then the news helicopters would be on you. When that happens be sure to wave out your window.
For the record radio waves travel at about 670,000,000 miles per hour (in vacuum). Maybe the Kleeman K300000 ECU tune will get us close to that speed. Or when the flux capacitor gets through beta testing.

umm... doesn't crow vic has like 300hp or something and can't take a turn.
Last time i saw a cop flash me I just started to run harder and then i realized the cop never even bothered to chase.

you obviously don't know how satellites work. we have to have satellites around different points of the earth so they can communicate with each other and with other radio frequencies. the earth's curvature does indeed prevent radio transmissions to certain parts of the earth and it is satellites that helps solve this problem.
go read a book yourself or go take aerospace physics like i did.
