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

The driver of a dangerously high-speed Corvette seemingly evaded authorities after leading law enforcement on a chase from Pomona to downtown Los Angeles.
The pursuit began sometime before 11 p.m. in Pomona after officers attempted to yield a driver for a vehicle violation. Details on that violation were not immediately clear.
The high-speed driver traveled at speeds of more than 170 mph, zipping along freeways until eventually reaching downtown LA. The driver turned off the car's headlights while speeding between traffic, including a big rig, on a freeway.
The driver then weaved through streets until entering an underground parking structure. It is there where authorities believe the driver got away.

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.

There was no license plates on the car (that's why they were going to pull him over) therefore no ID. Today is 10 days after this happened and they still have no idea who it was. Totally got away.

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.

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.

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.

At 27:27 when he disappeared on that last corner, if he continued almost directly straight, there is a parking garage access for a condo complex above that spans to the other side of the block, where there is another garage access onto S Olive St. The reporters helo pilot put too many tall buildings between them and the second access to see if he comes out or not, even if so how long did he stay inside?

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.
