Default Cop Car Faster Than A C3!!!!

Watch out for this cop car in AZ. Looks like it could keep up with our C3's with ease.

Were you in Big Bear a few years ago? Think I have seen your car there. I got a 78 Silver Anniv L-82 4 speed. Go up there with Temecula Vettes now.

All you got to do is turn to get away from a car like that.

Or bide your time until he runs out of gas... I bet he measures in GPM, not MPG....

No I myself was never in Big Bear, but my Vette may have been. The previous owner was a police officer. Now that you mention it he could have while he owned the car.

And to a fellow 78 owner!
