I could'nt open the link, but I assume that that is the C-3 that crashed into the semi west of Phoenix. I could'nt believe that he walked away with no injuries.

The commentary is a fuggin joke. Yea the cops are running 165mph keeping up to the vette. The speed he passed the semi before he crashed looked like he was doing around 30-40 mph faster than the semi. I guess the trucker was running 125-135mph down the highway.

Beat me too it. As if a Police Cruiser can reach 165mph! I especially love the commentary from the helicopter guy in Los Angeles. When a car comes within 30 feet of a pedestrian - it's a near hit. Makes me laugh every time.

My patrol car is a newer model and I can asure you that it will not do 165 MPH. Our department also has camaro's, Dodge Magnums and a few Chargers with the Hemi and they all will not do 165. But than again the only reason I can see to stop a vette would be to ask the driver if he is a member of the forum and to talk about his car!!
