But the TC doesn't wreck in the video posted in the link here. The guys stop it and bail. The one that ends in a wreck that I'm remembering most definitely ended in a wreck, and it wasn't even the same colour (it was maroon). The TC in the video is not clearly identifiable until the car wrecks (mainly because the cop never gets close to it, but partly because the video is blurry). I don't remember if the narrator hyped up the TC the way the guys does in the video in this thread, but I do clearly remember the cop chasing him saying "You can't outrun me, I've got 5.0", at which point the TC easily outruns him. The TC's tail lights became a dot on the horizon after he took off from the Mustang, then go out in a cloud of dust and sparks with the cop screaming the familiar "10-50! 10-50!" The cop catches up and the TC is demolished and smoking in the middle of the road. I think it hit a pole or a guard rail or something like that, not another moving vehicle. The driver ends up leaving the scene in an ambulance. It's not a false memory - I have a very good memory, and it's not the same video shown in the OP's link.

Now, that being said, I do remember the video but don't remember what show it was on. There were several of those "world's most overly hyped police videos" shows on a few years ago, including some poorly done Canadian and British ones.

You're right, but this is still the one I had. The video wasn't loading but the "wreck" was a different one that wrecked after an intersection. I have that one on here. I believe it may even still be up on the web at whatever comcast url that was.

Then there was the lame one that the peoples' tire blew out or something...

Here's the video of the other TC: CLICK HERE

Dunno what is up with the 220hp number the cop gives out, but still a great video anyway!


Probably thinking of a Super Coupe.

I saw the first one years ago, and that was my favorite chase. It does get irritating how they just seem to pull numbers out of the air.

I remember one time he kept going on and on about how Jeep Cherokees had 250HP, and how fast and difficult it was to catch. lol

I remember that video too, because I remember the cop talking about an Oldsmobile. It's hard to tell it's a TC until it crashes - those don't even look like Thunderbird tail lights.

I just watched those ones. There's another floating around too, featuring an 83-86 Cougar being chased. The cops corner it in a parking lot and the guy takes off across the curb. I think they end up catching him when he high-centers the car on something. That poor Cougar takes a hell of a beating before they get it stopped...

That's one I have NOT seen. I know my other one was labeled "TC-2.avi" but google fails to find one for me out on the net :(

Was that one a different show? I went through every episode of this show and don't remember seeing that clip.

Might've been a different show. Might've even been "Cops"
