02/22/24: Corvette tops 170 mph in LA freeway chase

[@uncommonsense5876]

The thing about those C7 Vettes is they feel slow at 120, 130mph... they really are built to comfortably cruise at those speeds.

Yup I always look down and am like fuck I'm doing 90 when it felt no different then 60

Yes I have a 2016 c7 z06. Not too sure if this is a z06 but when your in touring mode going 60mph it feels like 30mph. When your going 100 mph it feels like 70 mph. Very well built over all car. Now in track mode it's a different story. The steering is very stiff as is the suspension. The car jumps around alot.

Thats not a speed bump, its dip at 6:10 for water runoff so the corner wont become a hazard.

They do not believe in running rainwater runoff through conduit in California. Runoff is at surface level. What he ran over was a concrete drainage channel. They can be pretty big and pretty deep. And they will tear apart the front end of your car, never mind the cats and mufflers. Even when you slow down you scrape things. I'm sure something on that car is damaged, as well as running over the pylon.

[@JJFX-]

@@Orcinus1967 Yeah I see that and am well aware of how terrible these can be around here. Regardless the placement is far from ideal which I guarantee has caused issues. There's a similar drainage ditch by a sharp turn near where I grew up which caused a few accidents over the years. Many of the roads in and around LA are simply awful and don't even get me started on the pothole problem.

Trump hates how he isn't getting away with lying on his taxes and to the banks. Remember how the GOP platform in 2016 was less gov't and reduce the IRS? Well, now we SHOULD know why... but don't of course. Illegal offshore accounts... well that's another bag of crap only MAGA benefits from, well, those with big bags of cash to hide fund the MAGA movement. They donate to the RNC so Trump can afford his lawyers. He loses anyways but they throw good money out to bad anyways. Now we SHOULD see why that is with Trump giving himself a huge tax cut and all his big bag rich people... but we don't. Anyone who make tons of cash like CNN/Fox News people benefited from those tax cuts. Silence and fake news is real but for a good reason, to get rich. Middle Class has to foot the bills for the national debt for % of wages earned. Rich pay more but dollar for dollar, they pay less, especially when they hide their money in offshore accounts.

If anyone has a need for speed, take it to the track, if you want to drive like a maniac! Why doesn't the CHiP take this Vette, and make it part of their fleet? They have a transaxle, like my Porsche, so they don't fishtail, like the older ones. Has anti-skid brakes, etc. I've no idea why he rabbited, usually those of us w/muscle cars, don't do this.

Just radio in the plate, follow at a distance until they can be stopped safely. If the original infraction is not more dangeros than a chase its hard to justify and many police divisions will not initiate a chase for these reasons. Could be you or one of your loved ones caught in the crossfire. A cop was recently fired for an unauthorized chase after killing a family of five that he hit and with a citizan in his back seat at the time.

A couple people have commented that you got to see what your car can do. Totally agree. When I got my twin turbo 3000 GT VR-4 many years ago (not nearly the car that this one is, but speedometer goes to 180 and top speed is actually 162 mph), the sales person advised me to “drive it like you stole it“. So that was my words to live by for many years of driving it. (With quite a few speeding tickets to show for it, lol)

[@Charmer4856]

I had to see what my car could do at some point. When you put all the money to make it quicker/faster, you’re always curious. My original setup would barely touch 120 but my Speedo goes to 160 but there has been a few instances where I have got it up to 160 and it doesn’t take very long to reach it if you have a straight enough road. Takes less than 15 to reach 100 from 0 and that’s really fast for a non-boosted 2.0

She said he seemed lost, but after his first maneuver through the side streets, I think all his turns were to throw off the cops and overhead observers, then made a line where he seemed to know that garage was there and not gated.

It makes sense someone of such a community could afford the car. However, he might just know someone living there so he was familiar with the second street access on the other side, a block over. Not many private garages have 2 accesses let alone stretching across the middle of a city block, maybe on a corner or end of block location.

Back in the late 80's I was riding my bicycle to work one early Sunday morning when I came across an intersection in an industrial park where it was very apparent that a really bad accident had happened there. A local pizza company had had their yearly awards celebration the night before where a young manager was awarded the use of the company's canary yellow Corvette for the full month. The police reported an estimated speed of 100+ mph when the car hit a telephone pole exploding it into a fireball of fiberglass and engine components plus parts and pieces of the driver and his date. There wasn't anything left to determine use of alchohol or drugs for a DWI certainty but witnesses said cocaine and alcohol were probably a factor as the two had been seen taking them and showing signs of impairment because of it. I went back to the crash site after it had been cleaned up, and with the exception of yellow colored fiberglass shreds and melted aluminum fragments laying around a large burnt spot, there was nothing to suggest that two humans died there. The telephone pole aside from a little splintering was left barely showing a sign. I go by there even 40+ years later and think about it.
