Never was able to outrun the Caprice! (Explorer my butt). And got hit and stopped by another one... Good job by all involved pursuing him!

One of the best I've ever seen. Dude wasn't going to give up until he had to. Doubt that was a stolen BMW, though, it had some mods to the engine, as you could see it backfiring every time he let off the gas...unless he stole it from another racer. Kudos to the driver of the Caprice, good driving skills there!

Only a Caprice could keep up with that and now we don't have them anymore. If his needs bodywork, it will likely be scrapped since it would cost too much or parts are unavailable :cry:

On another note, no way a chase would have gone on that long here. A supervisor would have shut it down right away. Only reason a pursuit would have been authorized to continue would be to preserve life (i.e. a kidnap victim)

They later corrected the Explorer statement by saying that he was driving an Impala with a Corvette engine...lol

They're used to Explorers, Tahoes, and some Taurus'. Although, the FL, SC, and VA depts have quite a few Caprices. I notice them a lot more since I got mine.
