In response to:
Car & Driver occasionally road tests police vehicles, especially
when a new model comes out. They're nothing special. True, they
may have a litle more power than the civvy version, but they've got so
much extra weight that they accelerate like the bloated land yachts
they are.
Granted, there are exceptions; I wouldn't want to try my luck against
the police Camaro Z-28, but the cruisers are no big deal.
Just in case my post gets taken the wrong way, I should mention that what
*is* a big deal are the on-board camera and police radio. Doesn't matter
how fast the car is, its not a good idea to run from 'em... If they want
you bad enough, they're probably going to catch you.

Yeah, my bike (RF900R) will leave anything the cops have, including the
"pursuit specials" (oohh, I'm scared), it's that damn Motorola under the
dash that can be a real bitch.
Can someone say SPIKE STRIPS?
