IOM i think the STI is my pick :thumbsup:

Porsche 911 Turbo w/X50. Can't beat the grip, power and PSM to keep you out of trouble.

Or a built Talon for the same reasons, but if you want to blend a little better with the crowd.

bike would be the obvious first choice for me. and since i dont have the same weather as you guys id go with an old rwd car that was modded with engine works. itd also be nice to have a place to park the car, like a garage or the sort, that is incredibaly close to the bank, because the sooner your off the road, the sooner you can stop worrying.

Any car is a good getaway car. I mean, you gotta beat a friggin' Crown Vic :rofl:.

But it's true, you can't outrun the radio. Or HAWKS1 :).

recall the tank chase shit that went on san diego a while back....tank got stuck in the middle of the barrier on the highway after he spent like an hour running over peoples cars and motorhomes and stuff

If you want to get away from the police it looks like you've got to have mad skillz when driving a tank too :D :D

I have actually thought about this watching all those real life chases on tv....lol And have decided that a baja trophy truck (800hp) would be the ultimate getaway vehicle...:guns: you can go anywhere with one of those, oh and you'll need a partner and a rocket launcher to get rid of the chopper! :D

The answer is clearly a dark blue toyota corrola. Just pull into any parking lot and you'll dissapear in the sea of other dark blue corrolas.

a pontiac sunfire. white. If you cant loose the police in that then you cant loose them in anything. Its true that you cant outrun the police radio or helo, so therefore your best bet is to blend in and then ditch the car, and pick up another. like park it in an parking garage, and then drive out with the aforemeantioned blue corolla. Blending in is the secret.

I dont know about you guys but if I needed a get away I think I would get a chopper....
I mean oyu could prolly get a buddie to take over the hawcs and man you would not have any problem cause you got the only chopper calgary has.

lol but thats just me.

just like the one in getaway in stolckholm 2. :drool: :D retartedly quick acceleration and handeling.

either that or a tuned (more-so) sti.:bigpimp:

and it is possible to be faster than good ole moterola, you just need to change directions alot so the cops cant set anything up before you get there.

choppers on the other hand are hard to beat. unless of course you have a shelby GT 500 with nitrous. Go Baby Go! :devil:

well if you seen the transporter take it from there use a common car in this case it would have to be a caviler or a sunfire or a mustang gt do tones of engine mods no exhaust jus the engine and get it a common coulor like wite or red or black and your beld right into traffic

i seen it on tv i made me think that thi might work have a bunch of cars set up all over like a 8 square block radius and you doge in and out of alleys switching cars and you would eventually lose em jus get a bunch of random domestic cars and a few hondas and it would work

from watching too many episodes of "wildest Police Chases" I'd have to go with a fullsize Chevy 4X4; they always seem to have a helluva time stopping them

First off, you want to rob a *whatever* as close to the mexican border as possible (vary vary low chance of extradition, American Feds refuse to cross the border), Drive a Van or pickup Truck, preferably large.. Book-it across the border as fast as you can, sell the van/truck to would-be border runners, let them get picked up by the fuzz when they cross over.. the perfect getaway =).

outrunning is hard when you have hawk chasing you, so as most people regarded blending in to be key, I'd have to agree.

hmmmm...so many cars out there that blend in
sunfires, cavs, even integras!

For the price of some of the cars people have listed, I would get about 10 identical cavaliers or sunfires.

how about a white crown vic with wash off latex paint and snap on plates. then you can stop at a car wash and change the colr to lets say black and snap on a new plate and you blend in with the cops and old ppl.

i dunno man...cavs and sunfires are NOT fast and furious. having alot is like getting pinched all over... annoying as hell but they ain't gonna kill anything.
