1st Gen CL running away from cops

I was watching "World's Scariest Police Chase 5" on TBS and there was a black 97 2.2 running away from the cops at 120mph. He end up in a big ass wreck...the dude was drunk.

Did the narrator called the car a "sports car" or did he at least say CL?

120 mph? That kinda sucks. I do that going from my house to the grocery store.


Police interceptors top out at 140, right? So I'm guessing the cops had no problem staying back...assuming they didn't use the 'copter only. That's awesome nonetheless.

I'm hoping to make "World's Scariest Police Chase 6"...well, after a few mods of course. I'm kinda drunk right now, so maybe I can start filming now.

a kid around here had a black 2.2 and our cars looked just alike except he had the spoiler, that car was slow as fuck, good luck running from cops in that, he got a DWI the other night now cant drive it anymore.

Actually, from what I understand Acura3.0CL, 1st gen CL'S don't have very good side impact and frontal crash ratings ( at least compared to what they are now ). My memory may fail me, but I'm pretty sure I'm right.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm in a sports car. I'm WOT 24/7. I brake torque just so I never dip below 4,000 RPM.

I know I would be straying from the topic, but why in the world don't more police departments start using more heavy duty cars? I know it would be expensive, but the city next to mine has 5 vettes. Police interceptors are nice, but I think a properly moddend 1st gen or a stock 2nd gen could rip their asses out. Most cities don't have copters.

I don't know, maybe I am just really stupid.

EDIT: It's confirmed....I am.
