Default I'd take the camaro over the M3.........

"The LT1 camaro has the muscle to match the european racing car move for move"
"no matter where he turns or how fast he flies, the pursuing officer (in the camaro) is right with him.

Default So how come in all the rest of the scenes they show cops wrecklessly banging into the cars...

Oh, I mean doing the "PIT" manuver while in traffic to stop a guy? That cop was a crappy driver. He admits the kid never actually came over on him but just "made a movement with his shoulders" like he might come over on him and the cop gets squirrely and loses control almost killing people. That cop should have been charged for driving wrecklessly outside of his skill level. Never have made it on the track. Guess his week of pursuit training on the EVOC course wasnt enough. cheers! Mike

Default Glad the police had something that can keep up with the M3

Thank goodness the cops were not injured/killed. The way he flew into the center divider... even a S4 would lose control.

In any case, kids like that really do ruin it for the rest if us... I would think it contributes to the extreme prejudice toward modded European cars by the police force (and who can blame them?).

Hope the kid never sits in the driver seat of anything with wheels again, WTF was he thinking??

Not a good thing in this case... but the e30 M3 can REALLY handle, even with just a kid behind the wheel, the way that car performed is nothing short of amazing, anyone know if the car has been returned to proper usage?

Default the funny part is the kid made a movement with his shoulders...

which is what caused the cop to swerve off the road...hilarious.

Default If the police cared about the public they should have let the M3 go.

I guess avoiding 2 spike strips and changing lanes at 150mph takes no skill. Also the fact that he actually knew when to stop and change directions. Most idiots would just try to blow right through the police barricade or even try to go around it. That video was a testament to either the skill of the driver or the handling capabilities of the M3.

Also, like everyone pointed out, the Camaro also endangered people on the road when he spun out because of what he "thought" the kid was doing.

He only saw the kids shoulders move, he never said the car itself was trying to ram him.
