The thing is though, if you were cruising 90 in a 65 and a cop is on the side of the road. All you would have to do (if you had a fast car) is drop it down a gear haul ass to 140 miles per hour. Then make a break at the first exit. Go down a street find a mcdonalds park get something to eat and have a good laugh. Because they can't see your license plate at that speed, regardless of what they wan't you to believe. I've lost cops in my Civic before I was going 100 MPH and passed one on the side of the road. They are slow as hell.

You keep trying that and see what happened when you run from a cop. Like AZ2K1Civic said, "You may be able to outrun a police vehicle but you're not outrunning the radio..."
Someone said that the cops are really good at taking down license plate #'s. Well not in my town. Hehehehehehe. I was following a friend to his house and we were bookin, prolly 85-90 in a 40. He saw a cop (which I didn't know about) and pulled into a parking lot at about 50mph. I was like, "You don't live HERE do you?!!". He said, "I saw a freaking cop!!!". I was like "oh shit buckets!!!". "run"....." what do you mean run!!" i said. "Lets just hide". So we hid in a hospital parking lot behind a fitness buidling. Hehehehehe, his friend had a police scanner. All they said was "A black (my car) and a grey sports car blah blah" Nothing about #'s. And even if they had #'s. Nothing happened. So woohoo for not goin to Jail.
Anyone else see something wrong with police spending $50k on a SUV? Couldn't they supe up an Explorer (with the same results) and save $20k? I'd be pissed if I saw a police H2 Hummer in my town. WIth budget shortfalls and all...
Depts get grants from the state, and we put that money into whatever they tell us to. special grants for DUI and such. No, we are not superman and cant catch everyone. We arnt going to endanger the lives of others because you where speeding. But we can meet you down the road.
Another officer I knew was in a gas station and some kid peel'd out of the parking lot. well he had the plates of that car because the video system in the car was still on REC. and so later that night the officer was parked across the street from the kids house amd waited till the kid drove home. They had a nice little talk with the parents too.

most specialty vehicles such as the h2 and corvetts etc are results of drug seizures and forfeitures. we just picked up a 2003 expedition 4x4. but we will put it to use as we have many trailes, powerlines and snow. it is definitly not a pursuit vehicle however. couldnt keep up with someone at all.
only ran once and it was on my bike and by accident. I honestly didnt see the officer. We got away because we were lucky but its not something I would ever want to do intentionaly. Just take the ticket, its way easier then trying to get insured after you get busted running. Motorola radio, 0-186,000miles/second in 0.5 seconds (time it takes to push the talk button). even a turbo K series in a 100lb gocart isnt going to outrun that.
