Well first of all they drive like their crazy, i dont care what the
hell they teach you to do, you cant argue with certain laws phycics.
Also exceding 100mph is stupid anyway, i've seen a officer blast down
the road at at least 120 after a Honda Accord, those the Accord only
has a top speed of like 125 and was only doing 90 or so, it was just a
'little' bit over kill, i cant see the point in endagering other
motorist, i'm assuming you are a cop, let me enlighten you about your
vichele since you seem to live in the dark, i happen to own a police
edition 1987 Chevy Carpice Classic by the way, its even white. So dont
argue this with me, the gross weight is around 3800 pounds, with a
twin I beam chassie, the whole front suspension system is the same as
used on late model 3rd generation camaros similar to the Iroc-Z design.
engines were standard LT-1 350 big blocks, 2 or 4 barrel carb. attached
to a 700a automatic transmission, this car is big, heavy, and has the
power to accelorate at mind blowing speeds, it also has the power to
kill when you drive like an idiot down the road at 100+ mph chassing
people that forgot to pay the extra quarter in the parking meter. I
dont care if your lights are on or now, the carpice isnt exhastly the
most aero dynamic car, and the wind does catch it off guard sometimes
at 30+mph cross winds and thats all it takes at high speeds to push you
side ways into another car, because it does have i-beam chassie members
it wont crumple like a little jap trap, but have a battering ram effect
and crush things in its path, think baout that next time you decide to
be mr mahco lead food and chase down little cars because you've got
nothing else to do, i've raced mine as a drag car exceding speeds of
165mph, while its fun to go fast, the street is no place for little
boys to play with their goverment provided big toys.
