One cop said that a corvette managed to run from him, but people say that most cars in town cant outrun it.

the dyno also doesnt say anything about vehicle weight. you can dyno at 275 to the wheels all you want (which I agree with Steve C doesnt sound right at all), but if you've got a 4000lbs car with a few hundred pounds of extra weight added on top of that 4000lbs., you're not going to be that fast. Certainly not as fast as the cops would like you to believe anyway.

Most cars are factory stock with modifications for driveability. Take a look at the police code cars for the Mustang and the Camaro. No power mods just lots of power robbing additions (like weight).
