The driver of a dangerously high-speed Corvette seemingly evaded authorities after leading law enforcement on a chase from Pomona to downtown Los Angeles.
The pursuit began sometime before 11 p.m. in Pomona after officers attempted to yield a driver for a vehicle violation. Details on that violation were not immediately clear.
The high-speed driver traveled at speeds of more than 170 mph, zipping along freeways until eventually reaching downtown LA. The driver turned off the car's headlights while speeding between traffic, including a big rig, on a freeway.
The driver then weaved through streets until entering an underground parking structure. It is there where authorities believe the driver got away.

Finally someone driving a corvette who’s driving like they have a corvette.
What? an idiot.
So he’s driving like a douchebag?
Right lol
Don't why they think everyone can't. Drive smh. Push push corvette
Your grammar really sucks!@@tasksmaster5998
The thing about those C7 Vettes is they feel slow at 120, 130mph... they really are built to comfortably cruise at those speeds.
Yup I always look down and am like fuck I'm doing 90 when it felt no different then 60
Drove a C5 when they first came out, was so used to my old slow cars that I looked down and realized I was doing 160. Smooth as silk.
@@thegrumpytexan I'll take things that nvr happened for 100 Alex...
@@mickdabz Who is Alex and why are you giving him 100?
Yes I have a 2016 c7 z06. Not too sure if this is a z06 but when your in touring mode going 60mph it feels like 30mph. When your going 100 mph it feels like 70 mph. Very well built over all car. Now in track mode it's a different story. The steering is very stiff as is the suspension. The car jumps around alot.
There was no license plates on the car (that's why they were going to pull him over) therefore no ID. Today is 10 days after this happened and they still have no idea who it was. Totally got away.
i wouldn't bet on it and i'll bet the car now has a transponder stuck to it.
@@tommurphy4307 Google it and read the news articles. You think I just made that up?
Bro was well prepared for this chase
I’ve seen other videos with that vette.
Hahaha. #QPTW 😉
By the time they lost him down town, he was already at his office garage hopping on the oppressor mkII and headed out 💀💀
💀💀
The fastest way to evade a chopper is to fly by an airport, they most likely wont get clearance at a major airport.
Yeah, we all have airports every 10 mile radius. You saw what was the fastest way, in the city.
We had a biker in Utah on one of those BMW 1000cc rockets get away from police recently. Guess what he did? Went by the airport.
Smart
@@Njazmowhere this took place it’s actually never more than 20 miles to an airport.
Probably true but if the Corvette cam maintain 170+ he can out run the helicopter too.
The driver sits behind his desk in the bank of America, in a 3-piece suit
Imagine that’s just his normal commute to work 🤣
I'd be willing to bet he works pretty close to that garage and is familiar with it
And its purple 😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
New wrap time :)
He’s goin to his office garage
0:20 “oh gosh this guys gonna crash” 39 minutes later, he’s free and everyone’s safe
my first thought! what a dumb thing to say, not everyone who goes fast is gonna kill someone
@@69GIGACHAD69 maybe not dumb but very negative
I trust drivers who are able to drive 150+ more than these dumb fucks blocking lanes below speed limit.
@@69GIGACHAD69 The sooner you realize the news is sensationalized, the more you will understand the world we live in. They sell fear for ratings.
At 27:26 if u slow down the video you can see he started to turn right but then turned left and lost the helicopter and got away towards the top of the screen. Such good use of the high rises.
You can see him drive left, in the top of the cámara when she zooms out
Yes👍
Whoever put that speed bump right after a tight turn is the real criminal here.
I seems I missed that. At which timeline section was it?
@@BIOSHOCKFOXX 6:10
Thats not a speed bump, its dip at 6:10 for water runoff so the corner wont become a hazard.
They do not believe in running rainwater runoff through conduit in California. Runoff is at surface level. What he ran over was a concrete drainage channel. They can be pretty big and pretty deep. And they will tear apart the front end of your car, never mind the cats and mufflers. Even when you slow down you scrape things. I'm sure something on that car is damaged, as well as running over the pylon.
@@Orcinus1967 Yeah I see that and am well aware of how terrible these can be around here. Regardless the placement is far from ideal which I guarantee has caused issues. There's a similar drainage ditch by a sharp turn near where I grew up which caused a few accidents over the years. Many of the roads in and around LA are simply awful and don't even get me started on the pothole problem.
Cop: "Sir, do you know why I pulled you over?" Vette: "Becuase I let you?"
becu ase is so like... be cu ass
That's a 2019 Vette, possibly a mid engine VETTE! If it's a C8, it may go faster than 170. You can't do a pit maneuver on a Fiberglass body, it's incredibly dangerous, if you want the occupant to survive! If anyone has a need for speed, take it to the track, if you want to drive like a maniac! Why doesn't the CHiP take this Vette, and make it part of their fleet? They have a transaxle, like my Porsche, so they don't fishtail, like the older ones. Has anti-skid brakes, etc. I've no idea why he rabbited, usually those of us w/muscle cars, don't do this. I've had many, since a teenager.
Such an original
It hit 190 here
lol yes . I have a 2005 Corvette coup only 20 thousand miles on her . but she can give you the ride of your life . 160 to Vegas no problem .

5:15 “something as simple as he didn’t have a license plate” Lady, why do you think he is running without a license plate? 😂😂😂 he went out looking to run.
bro went to the maze bank tower💀
and jumped with a parachute.
If I'm a cop, I'm not risking my life, chasing/driving 170 MPH, over a code violation. Where was the responsible adult who should have called off the chase?
Cops are behind it. It is the innocent people Infront .
There are no standard cruisers operated by any police departments that are even able to do 170.... most Dodge Charger police cars do about 140-145.... that's it. That Vette can do 190+... I know... I've had mine cruising at 165.... and been with my bro up to 185... with more to go...
@@justinlanglais9825 no one cares about you or anything you say
@@justinlanglais9825 Florida Police has a C7..... In my country the police used to have a set of porsche 911s for intercepting highway chases. Currently the fastest our police has are Audi A6. Although they are artificially capped at 155mph (250kmph) those are diesels btw I think it's rare for police to have to chance someone at 170mph. even in this chase the c7 only tipped the 170 once or twice..
@@VccTn hey
Used the same strategy in Los Santos. Underground parking, wait for the stars to blink and then disappear
He probably hid the car in his CEO garage.
Called Lester

To hear “we won’t be able to keep up” from the cameras in the sky is INSANE
A couple people have commented that you got to see what your car can do. Totally agree. When I got my twin turbo 3000 GT VR-4 many years ago (not nearly the car that this one is, but speedometer goes to 180 and top speed is actually 162 mph), the sales person advised me to “drive it like you stole it“. So that was my words to live by for many years of driving it. (With quite a few speeding tickets to show for it, lol)
I had to see what my car could do at some point. When you put all the money to make it quicker/faster, you’re always curious. My original setup would barely touch 120 but my Speedo goes to 160 but there has been a few instances where I have got it up to 160 and it doesn’t take very long to reach it if you have a straight enough road. Takes less than 15 to reach 100 from 0 and that’s really fast for a non-boosted 2.0
@@Charmer4856thats about 175hp worth of bs
Stunning performance car even today... Is that the Mitsubishi twin turbo, all wheel drive, all wheel steering version?
Don’t sell that car I purchased one for 4k years back not really knowing what it was and sold it soon after. They are pretty rare cars
@@landychapman3 yes, exactly! Also has what they called “active aero“, where at 50 mph the spoiler in the back back would tilt up for more downward push on the rear, and in the front an air dam would come down very close to the road to keep air from getting underneath the front of the car and flipping it like an airplane. Still love this car, but it’s a bit of a money pit to keep it going, lol.
I love how the lady says it's not clear if the driver is male or female, but continuously says he and him.😂😂
Ikr 😂😂😭
She didn’t want to be labeled a sexist and forced to apologize and get fired.. but we all know a woman driver would have eaten the wall or the back of another moving vehicle
Yes, lol I had the same thought. I’m not a misogynist at all, but there’s no way in hell that that’s a woman driver going up to 160+ miles an hour for this length of time, neither has the guts nor the skill to not have crashed this car long time ago. I don’t make the rules that’s just how it is. 😅
That is definitely a sexist attitude, I am sure that some very capable women drivers can drive well at high speeds. There are men drivers that I would not get in the car to go to the corner mart with. @@keithgiesler1027

The biggest danger is the Corvette hitting a pothole on poorly maintained roads at 160+. California drivers know the struggle.

You had me thinking of that Indy race a few months ago in Vegas. one of the Indy cars ran over a manhole and it must of hit it just perfectly. I'm not sure where the lid flew off to, but sure tore up a couple of them Indy cars.

You so right. My friend

@tamapaepae01 nobody cares about Apple overpriced junk
Note to self... Large sky scrapers and fast movement in a sports car is how to evade police.
37 thumbs up, MAGA voters in LA. Trump has a reason they love him.
also one can drive into an airport area which police helicopters need permission and are restricted for certain routes
Also neighborhoods with lots of stop signs. Cops will slow down and cross streets cautiously. Perp only needs to make 3 or 4 quick turns and the cop will be wondering which street he turned down. Especially if there are hills and curves too.
Police evasion meta is wild
@@paulswarthout9967 Big thing a few years ago of how auto manufacturers would install LoJack enabled for police to slow then shut off vehicles safely. It's the same people that hate gun laws and hold up freedom MAGA. Nobody puts rules on me... CRAP. Rules are there to help the general public not protect the rights of criminals. Trump hates how he isn't getting away with lying on his taxes and to the banks. Remember how the GOP platform in 2016 was less gov't and reduce the IRS? Well, now we SHOULD know why... but don't of course. Illegal offshore accounts... well that's another bag of crap only MAGA benefits from, well, those with big bags of cash to hide fund the MAGA movement. They donate to the RNC so Trump can afford his lawyers. He loses anyways but they throw good money out to bad anyways. Now we SHOULD see why that is with Trump giving himself a huge tax cut and all his big bag rich people... but we don't. Anyone who make tons of cash like CNN/Fox News people benefited from those tax cuts. Silence and fake news is real but for a good reason, to get rich. Middle Class has to foot the bills for the national debt for % of wages earned. Rich pay more but dollar for dollar, they pay less, especially when they hide their money in offshore accounts. Do they talk about this on the news? Rarely for obvious reasons. Too long winded, probably lost 90% of the readers by now. This is the true American Dream, ignorance is blind.
At 27:27 when he disappeared on that last corner, if he continued almost directly straight, there is a parking garage access for a condo complex above that spans to the other side of the block, where there is another garage access onto S Olive St. The reporters helo pilot put too many tall buildings between them and the second access to see if he comes out or not, even if so how long did he stay inside? She said he seemed lost, but after his first maneuver through the side streets, I think all his turns were to throw off the cops and overhead observers, then made a line where he seemed to know that garage was there and not gated. Maybe his place or someone he knows. This guy was "Gone in 60 sec" smooth imo.
My boy in the pent house smoking one looking at the birds flying
So he wouldn’t park in the garage because the cops can simply narrow down their search and find the car parked. Or you’re saying there are multiple entrances and exits into and out of the garage?
@@HarrisonHollers I should of clarified that it might be a gated community needing access to get in, not just a basic bar people can walk past. (Do police have on demand access to gated garages?) It makes sense someone of such a community could afford the car. However, he might just know someone living there so he was familiar with the second street access on the other side, a block over. Not many private garages have 2 accesses let alone stretching across the middle of a city block, maybe on a corner or end of block location.
@@user-cd9bo7yu5m ok thanks. This was really cool to watch - obviously disregarding all the threats to public and legal ramifications. Never seen someone get away. I still think parking the car allows the cops to narrow down their search and find the car. Then tow it or track it? Just thinking out loud. Appreciate your update.
Stop snitching😂
That Vette was getting great gas mileage. Pomona to DTLA while getting up to 180 MPH on a single tank of gas is pretty impressive.
The term "SLIPPERY WHEN VETTE " applies perfectly here.
the first time I've EVER seen a SUCCESSFUL escape! ....
There’s a guy who stoled a Rolls Royce he also got away the same way by getting lost in downtown where they can easily get lost in the skyscrapers from the heli cams and ground highway patrols
Right. Wasting taxpayer money on fuel. For something simple. Hope they never find he or she
There's one from a couple of years ago where someone in a 4Runner gets away by going off-road through the storm drain, gets out on foot, and vanishes in the storm drain tunnels.
@@MBG141I saw a getaway where the highway is too crowded to go fast to get away. The driver calls an accomplice to wait for him at an overpass going opposite direction. He coast's under the overpass and the chopper waits for car to come out. It comes out slowly and coasts for almost half a mile before it stops and the cops surround it to find an empty car, as the driver bailed under the overpass and long gone!
Someone on a motorbike escaped by going into a crowded mall parking, changing outfit and calmly blended with people. Never got caught.
Around 13:10 he passes a Camaro that speeds up to race him or cruise but then the Camaro realizes he’s being chased by PD and slams the brakes lmao😂😂

This just looks like me driving to work every morning.

Go speed GO! 🏁
if he knew what he was doing he'd be driving within legal speed limit. most likely high on some krokodile drug
She thought it might be a woman driver!
The formula is now pretty well know: drive fast/crazy enough so cops stop following, then duck into a parking structure & walk away.
Exactly what he did, pulled into a parking structure in DTLA, pulled a ticket from gate. Parked and walked away . 😒😒
Yes, every race bike rider knows that.
Just my thought,👍🏼
Works for me EVERY Time.
@JohnSmith-hf9ei And if it's not his car, they'll never figure out who was driving. Or when the cops show up at his house, he'll just exclaim: "OMG, my car is gone."
12 minutes in and I cannot stand to listen to that woman another second.
“Looks like he’s driving really fast, yup he’s driving really fast it looks like he’s going straight on the freeway and continuing to go really fast, it’s a corvette so at most it could fit about 2 people, looks like he’s not planning on pulling over as he continues to go really fast straight on the freeway which it seems like he’s doing so he can keep driving really fast without having to stop at any lights.” Incredible commentary I would’ve never had a clue what was going on without her descriptive input.

"He's going to kill someone" gee maybe if they would give up the chase to give the situation a chance to de-escalate....way to play into the adrenaline rush.
The police to give this guy an award for professional driving at high speeds
This is one of the few chases I've seen where someone 1 actually knows how to drive and 2 actually knows how to evade police well. 2 helis is an immensely difficult situation to wriggle out of he did extremely well
Because they Chevrolet owner and not an idiot in an hellcat Lmao
It's not difficult, just drive to a tower block, I have many friends in such buildings or a large shopping centre, get out walk to the clothing store go into the charging rooms or just buy a different top and wear it out. Or the one I've heard just keep driving a helicopter runs out of fuel faster than you. Depending on the area we just have one helicopter here. Driving on the freeway doesn't work as police radios are faster than you. They just get cars ahead and radio them. You can outrun radio waves I know a few people who used the large tower block of flats way to escape the police a few times as they couldn't search 100 flats and they didn't have grounds either. They just say the car was stolen the next day. I know one guy who just jumped in the passenger seat when his friend got out to run and said the friend was driving. That one shocked me.

@@itisjustacommentif you go into a store you get caught on cctv tho. If you also happen to be the owner of the vehicle you're gonna have a hard time explaining that one.
You can say the corvette dealerships are getting a free good advertisement of just how fast the vehicle travels at such a distance.
That’s true. Very impressive that a Corvette can run that fast for that long, and still not run out of fuel. That’s pretty good efficiency.
Yeah I'm getting a vette
Right?!!! They're all, "Heyyyyy, that's our baby!!!!" LOL!!!!!!!
I want one. What an amazing machine. It's so composed in this setting at such speeds and must be quite fuel efficient to sustain this.
He kept letting out of it like it was over heating or he was scared of it. Or maybe trying to conserve fuel
He obviously played GTA5 😂 He knew his way around that area 🤣😆
Went from 5 stars to no stars.
News reporter: “we’re not going to be able to keep up”. Yet, they’re flying directly above him, keeping up lol
camera is zoomed. at a couple times on the freeway you can see the zoom go in and out and how far back they were . If they were doing 140 and zooming on him he had to be doing 160-170mph. There were times they were right next to him but that heli top speed is about 160mph. We get to see them zoomed in most the time if they zoom out, they are pretty far away
Now THAT was some pro driving. He must have a navigator in the car because his travel was butter-smooth. This is a rare chance to see what America's sports car can do.

170 miles an hour for vehicle code violations? How can they justify this pursuit at these speeds for this length of time for that reason?
Lots of mental misfits in these comments. Just fence off this entire 💩 hole and let people deal with reckless, dui, stolen cars and car jackers on their own. Scary some of you people vote.
They wanna check out the fancy rims and paint job. Can you really blame them ?
The chopper could have discreetly followed it, without the need to put everyone in danger over a freaking code violation.

Vehicle code violations is not a reason to do a car chase at 170 mph. Police should discontinue the chase.if suspect crashes and kills someone the police agency is liable.
Yes, I am surprised at how few comments reflect your sentiment as it is a practice in many jurisdictions scattered about the country and becoming more prevalent (should be saturating the country by now). But so many people feel the risk or the cost of innocent people's lives is somehow worth it. Take his plate #, wait for him at his house, arrest him, fine him, jail him, move on.
@@richcarrCCC I get all of that, but what if the car is stolen? Half or more of these chases i bet are stolen cars.

There are no good solutions when someone is willing to run from the cops no matter the reason. 10 year minimum in my opinion if you lead police on a high speed pursuit. but they gotta get you is the game i guess.
They should be held liable!!!!!
Agreed,, bloody cowboy cops.
So what if the car is stolen??!!!! Get insurance as you should.
Theres nothing like feeling your legs trapped beyond the crumple zone into the cabin footwell and not knowing if your legs are still salvagable and if that wet sensation is nerve damage or vital body fluids while fire erupts and noxious smoke from plastics and rubber starts to fill the car - to make you think twice about driving too fast and in particular too close ever again! Things start seemingly small and soon teach you that all that energy of motion has to go somewhere and it can go the wrong way and make a passenger out of you in a hurry.
you got one life live it up
He might be able to out run the police cars on the street but he can’t out run the eye in the sky. Oh well. I guess he did in this video😆😆😆😆😆😆
This brought back memories of the late 80's early 90's SoCal hwy racing scene when every weekend was like a scene out of Need For Speed. How times have changed.
now its the stoplights up and down the coast- see you on mission blvd.....
I'm surprised there's this much open road on an LA freeway!
Late at night I guess
The motorists are charging their cars.
@@DanSmith-qx4nl lol 😆
in the middle of the night yes.
@maxheadroom1506 it is a rhetorical joke...........
I like the way she adds her emotions to the commentary, Makes the chase more exciting than it is! Re-watch this chase every once in a while because of her.
“if they stopped at first all they might have gotten was a ticket” me and my corvette don’t get tickets lady😹
Him going completely dark earlier in the pursuit is incredibly smart IF he was on a less busy freeway especially in a blacked out vette he realized it was just way too sketchy and turned the lights back on. Smart thinking by that guy I hadn't seen anyone do that.
Did that once, lost them before they got a chopper in the air. It was just a reaction, I put some distance went right quick left lights off and disappeared into the dark probably a 2-3 minute chase at best in a mustang cobra. Not my proudest moment that was like 6-7 years ago
I had a buddy that did that when a cop was trying to get us on gravel country road. One of the scariest moments of my life. Couldnt see a damn thing and then we hit a railroad crossing and he almost fucking lost it and then turned them back on. We got away though.
@@carefreeme8202yeah shit scary but if you got daytime running lights or fogs it’s better. They’re dim but not completely pitch dark.
@@swifitly-6149 We were in the middle of no where with zero lights around in a early 90s F-150. Only had headlights lol. That cop was right on our ass but my buddy sprayed him with gravel and he backed off. We got ahead of him and then my buddy turned off all his lights and we got away somehow. The fucking weird thing is the cop never once turned his lights or sirens on. The situation leading up to that was bullshit, but that's another short story lol. Sorry for the rant, haven't thought of that night in a long time.
Man. Great driving. I was holding my breath when it either hit a dip or a speed bump. Sparks flew out the back end. I’m like no!!!!! Also you can tell the skills this person has because of the angles it uses on turns.
My man really hid under maze bank😂
Word on the streets say the helicopter is still looking for the corvette to this very day.
that car has probably been tagged with a transponder
@tommurphy4307 I was just joking bro. They aren't really looking for it 😆 and I'd have no idea if they were.
Everybody safe at home, snuggled in bed: “thank u brave ociffer”
😂😂🎉
174 on a public highway and blowing through stop signs on regular streets is insane
She drives into the parking structure and peels off the blue wrap. Voila! The Vette is now Red! Top down, driving off into the California sunset, she applies matching lipstick and winks!
Taxi reference I like it, but u forgot the part where she shows a little ass and the cop lets her go 😂
This guy must have successfully played the “need for speed” video games so much he just finally said: “you know, I think I can actually do this for real…”
Facts 😂😂😂😂
The crazy thing is I think I bought this vette at a car auction. No joke but it was shipped to me from Las Vegas.
Nah ain’t no way
Proof????
was it a C7 Zr1? because that is a c7 zr1. its got the raised middle carbon fiber hood, it has the carbon fiber top as well. It doesnt have the z07 package because it doesnt have the large rear wing. 755hp and a top speed over 210 mph. They not catching him unless he messes up.
I have never been in LA when the traffic was that light.
It was close to midnight heard them go by my house whilst I was about to sleep then saw it the next morning
Mexican holiday?
I almost got away back in '92 on the night of my senior prom. Ran out of gas and got felony speeding at 142 in a 55, fleeing and attempting to elude & reckless driving. Went to jail overnight, lost my license for a year & paid a $1800 fine. Worst part was that the 92 twin turbo 300zx I was driving was my cousins car...and he was a sherrifs deputy at the time!😂
His plate says “drive it like you stole it..!!!”
Excellent driving skills my man !!!! 👍🏻💯🇺🇸
Back in the late 80's I was riding my bicycle to work one early Sunday morning when I came across an intersection in an industrial park where it was very apparent that a really bad accident had happened there. A local pizza company had had their yearly awards celebration the night before where a young manager was awarded the use of the company's canary yellow Corvette for the full month. The police reported an estimated speed of 100+ mph when the car hit a telephone pole exploding it into a fireball of fiberglass and engine components plus parts and pieces of the driver and his date. There wasn't anything left to determine use of alchohol or drugs for a DWI certainty but witnesses said cocaine and alcohol were probably a factor as the two had been seen taking them and showing signs of impairment because of it. I went back to the crash site after it had been cleaned up, and with the exception of yellow colored fiberglass shreds and melted aluminum fragments laying around a large burnt spot, there was nothing to suggest that two humans died there. The telephone pole aside from a little splintering was left barely showing a sign. I go by there even 40+ years later and think about it.
@@karlwithak. No, I am 'weird' and you can't spell.
@@randmayfield5695i'd rather be weird
He may not have stole it but he drove it like he did!! BRAVO Speedracer, Bravo young Sir.
This reminds me of me back in the early 90s in central florida in my custom wide body blacked out 79 Z28 with 586 hp 327 munsi 5 speed, with ZR50 Perrelli tires all the way, with all after market brakes and suspension, I never put a scratch on it, I rarely seen blue lights very long at all, it topped out at 167 mph, i slung a main bearing racing two blonds in a twin turbo Callaway corvette on I-95 coming back from a God or Death G.O.D concert, that corvette would go 200mph quick, I had to sell my Z!!! 😢 God I loved that car, truly those 4 years were the best times in my 53 years, the rest of my life has been pure hell, I haven't even made love in 24 years, lost all my exes, sons, family, jobs, hope, health and will most likely die soon alone from kidney failure from diabetes, my mom is even in the hospital not doing well, my little ex lieutenant hero 4 tour brother just killed himself etc etc, God I wish I could find a sweetheart who understands evils butthurt sniveling hate filled perverted bs, that knows healing, then it all would be worth it, besides losing both my sons😢
Damn thats rough
If that Corvette is going 170 those other cars are going 140
.....well, it is LA....;-)
Yeah, that’s not too far off for SoCal.
Left Lane Speed is about 85 mph, then you have people regularly flying by at 100+ lmao.
Sounds about right for LA.
The 210 notorious for speed.
He's about to break the sound barrier.
I didn't see the crazy dangerous driving, I noticed caution being used..
What???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If you were Infront of that 170MPH chase. You see him in your rear mirror behind you. WOWWWWWW. Then, you know the story, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
My boy gat full tank on this he came prepared 😂
I think the speedometer is off by about 15-20 mph. There are moments he’s slowly passing cars at an alleged 150 mph, which would mean these cars were going about 100-120 mph- which I seriously doubt.
Nrturally they will report it to make it sound much worse than actuality. I doubt he came anywhere close to 170, maybe 130 tops.
The laser radar is adding distance to the vette as the helicopter is making wide turns.. 120 max at some point but on avg HE probably avg 90-100mph because 170, that copter would have no chance.. because when rice rockets get going.. the news copter watches the bike disappear in the sunset
Car manufacturers suck. Once you start my car, you don't need the wireless key fob anymore. The dash indicates the key is out of range, but as long as you don't shut off the engine you can drive it until the engine seizes, which can be years. No wonder cars are so easily stolen. The insurance companies should refuse to insure cars like mine, that would make the manufacturers modify them so when you get 20 feet from the car, the engine stops.
@@karlwithak. A pressure switch would be super easy to bypass. Besides that, there's times you need to leave your car running without someone in the drivers seat, like to keep AC on or pets and such.
@@karlwithak.right- as if the seat switch wasn't easy to by-pass.....
Hats off to General Motors engineering - to have a car run that smooth and straight and not overheat at extended high speeds over 130mph. American muscle, baby. 💪
It's an accomplishment for GM if it starts at all. The Corvette is such a lame car for lame guys . The Corvette owner jokes are 110% accurate, Napoleon complex with a small ****.
@@davidparker9676 I have been racing Pontiac and Chevrolet cars for 25 years. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
@@StreetFighter2010 You know what Pontiac stands for? Do you have a mullet? Does your house have wheels under it? I've been in the auto industry for over 40 years, I know what POS American cars are. Maybe one day you will sober up and realize what garbage cars they make.
@@davidparker9676 I am Black and bald headed. I look like Vin Diesel. In all my years of racing, American motors dominate the drag strip and the street. That’s not to say that you can’t make an import go fast - I own a few 11 second German cars myself. But just about all the fast cars are General Motors (SBC) and Ford.
@@StreetFighter2010 American cars are garbage. You can't be competitive in any REAL racing in an American "muscle" car. The Corvette is a joke of a "sportscar" compared to real sportscars. Corvettes are marketed and sold to losers going through a midlife crisis, low testosterone and erectile dysfunction. When Chevy's top Camaro is lighter and faster than Chevy's "fiberglass bodied" "exotic sportscar" flagship vehicle, you know what a joke it is. Drag racing, Nascar etc are not real racing and at that competitive level, the cars don't have a single GM or ford part on them... even the engine block is made by Dart or some other manufacturer. Japanese & German sports cars easily make more HP per cubic inch or CC. All you have to do to see how ridiculous Ford, GM and Dodge "muscle cars" are is see how many get totaled because they can't corner and can't stop worth sh1t. American "muscle" is crap, look at all of the bad HEMI engines that can't even be used for light duty without having lifter problems. Chevy and Ford can't build anything that doesn't quickly turn to scrap.
I can't believe they are continuing this chase at this speed. They are endangering so many lives.
Mandatory life sentence for running will stop this nonsense
That guy is amazing ! What a good driver!
