Default CHP Chase in LA

Okay, which ClubLexus member played too much Gran Turismo / Forza Need for Speed? @dojoman for the clarification lol


Just kidding, apparently it was stolen.

I hope we aren't developing a bad rep with the joy ride from a few months back.
Damage wasnt too bad.
Video title states 140mph, another thread on CL notes limiter is 140-150 mph.
Only saw the car hit ~110 from the helicopter but variances could be off.

3IS hitting speed limiter.

I think you meant to say Need for Speed because cops don’t chase drivers in GT or Forza on race tracks.

^nope. The stability control had the binders on full torque and throttle disabled if it detects the car going a different direction from the steering wheel. the computer wouldn't let you try to power out. only so much the car could do by being hit. (same goes for any car) taurus, civic, accord etc.

anyway what a little baggy pants thug. hopefully he'll learn his lesson.

funny how that cop couldn't figure out how to open the doors and trunk. he kept looking at the center console for a switch.

My fiance and I caught the chase live on FB. Stayed to watch until the end before heading out for dinner LOL. That was one high quality pit maneuver at the perfect timing.

We were laughing so much watching them struggle to open the doors. I know they have adrenaline going and it's a high stakes situation when they have no clue what's going on but damn do they look like amateurs with 5 grown men slapping the door handles and pushing on the trunk trying to get them open.

I watched this last night. Scary stuff. I love the reporter saying the driver "... crashed into the wall" when he clearly didn't.

Also the comments section is funny. "I want an IS now" lmao
