can i outrun them? i have the pp and the 174 top speed.

jturkel

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

is this a real post/thread?

dmyrick

yep i really want to know

rockjock

Yep-you can. With the new 6.2L V8 that you have under the hood-all but the luckiest cops (the ones in vettes, SRT8's ect-and even then you'll nudge them!) wont stand a chance against you!

AsianML

Can you outrun a radio?

jturkel

i'm gonna have to agree with rockjock on this one. the popos won't stand a chance against that 6.2 V8 beast. i've seen some cops driving terminator cobras down in Tucson. not sure if the cops mod those, but they could give you a run if they do. i suppose there is only one way to find out

AsianML

I've spoken to some officers in my area and they all seem to agree that the Crown Vics they have all seem to hit a brick wall once they hit 120 or so.

rockjock

Well, you probably cant becuase you're driving around in your wifes CUV-but he can because he has that big V8 with monster tq.
Radios are not that fast anyway-and you have to take into account the curvature of the earth, the distance to the nearest tower (or sat if they are using GPS radios)-its possible.

dmyrick

well i have lost a state trooper by accelerating to 110 and taking a quick detour when i was out of sight. he passed me straight on and i saw him turn on his lights and cross the median but that was the last i saw of him. state cop in a mercury.

AsianML

I forgot that the Earth was round. I didn't take that into account when I was trying to figure out the math. Thanks!

You probably interrupted his donut stop so he gave up and turned around lights and sirens to get back to the shop as quickly as possible.

rockjock

Merc dont stand a chance-crown vics either-thats old skool push rod engines they are running-
do you have any mods on your car?
hell-even tint would help you here!

jturkel

excellent points! not to mention that the electromagnetic radio waves generally will have to pass through several different mediums whether buildling material, car metal, rainwater (liquid)....all of these mediums alter the wavelength of the radiowaves and thus alter the velocity. so this makes it much more probably to outrun the radio wave. this may skew a report of a car running from the cops and improve his chances to get away!

The best way to outrun cops is to do the opposite of natural human nature - that is to say, most runners make the first righthand turn followed by a lefthand turn. Cops know this and will act accordingly. So if you take the opposite approach and go left then right, you're golden. Or you can really mix it up and do a left-left maneuver.
You can also interfere with radio transmissions by turning your own car stereo to frequency of 88.4.

Please don't share that detail with po-po.

dmyrick

i do have tint,don't know how that helps. asianml i dont know why you are flaming me. i just ask a simple question. thanks to everyone else for the good answers. im just trying to avoid more tickets.

AsianML

Oh I wasn't flaming you. I was just saying the cop probably just gave up (since he knew there was no way of catching you) and wanted to get back to his coffee and donuts.

M-bENZ

is that really works ?

You also have to drive at 44 or 88 mph to augment the needed resonance. I realize that most of you know this but just in case.

M-bENZ

lol.

rockjock

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?

Air Marshall Eldritch

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.

rockjock

Just be sure you're not in the DeLorean!

jturkel

true. this will help create the important 180 degree destructive interference needed at the nodes of the waves to help completely eliminate the radio frequency.
