The host is greatly misinformed about the BMW's performance numbers but nonetheless one hell of a video.

i love that video ... and it shows how lame most cops are (their skilz and WHAT they drive). 240hp (claimed for an E30 m3) vs 350hp for a LT1 camaro and he is lucky to keep up or handle anywhere near as well. almost plows into the back of him when he decides to stop.

I think I also heard him say a comment that the BMW was supercharged! Maybe I'll watch it again to double check. But for a kid that is only 15.....he had some balls driving as hard as he did.

he does. unless it's modded, it isn't! e30 m3s are 4 cylinders! don't believe they have 240hp either ... sure does school the cops though. i like how they say it "broke down" ... i'm guessing that means "ran out of gas."

The cop figures it was an E36 M3. The Camaro may have a lot of HP but the brakes are worth crap. I wonder if the thottle linkage came loose on the M3?
That cop could have killed someone when he almost t-boned the other cop car. I guess this is why in many parts of the country cops are not allow to chase.

it'd be nice if they got more training on how to actually drive. the guy is totally being schooled by a 15 year old! lol

There are schools at Summit Point Raceway and VIR where people get special training. Cops, State Department, Military. At VIR they learn to shoot through moving cars and practice persuits at night on the track with no lights. Another technique is bump and pin. The cop on the video was a menace. More so than the 15 year old.

they should all have that training (just like i believe all teens should have way better training than they do ... a good bmw driving school would do them wel). meanwhile, the announcer is talking about how the cop is so veteran ... whatevah!

there ya go. every teen should have to take that course. the problem is they have no idea how their car works or what its limits are. old people are a completely different story and are, for their numbers, more deadly. but i digress ...

I guess you've seen me on the track.

The M3 was in its element in the video. When the germans made the car they put into account that they have the fastest freeway in the world and the fact that many people commute on it everyday in the triple digits. And you would never see such horrible cars like the Crown Victoria as a police car over there. you would see a BMW, VW, Mercedes or Opel. http://www.bundespolizei.de/cln_029/...rmationen.html

Heres a site a saw thats pretty cool. They may not be BMW's, but those Skyline, RX-7, EVO VII, and XJ220 cop cars are pretty bad ass.

this video is unreal, those guys are retarted. supercharged european rocket going from 0-60 in 5 seconds...too f-ing funny

The Evo III puts out about 240, but I don't think that was available in the states. Stocker puts out around 190.

The Camaro pursuit cars are quite possibly the most dangerous car available. Solid beam axles? Good for running down trucks and killing rednecks (the z28 is often called the "redneck coffin"), but the Ford Police Interceptor is a much better machine for passenger cars. These things will seriously give you a run for the money.

Anyway, I'm continually astonished at the stupidity of highway patrol.
