Awesome car chase, 1st Gen Talon and a police 5.0 Stang Options

[rudeboy3d]

As I'm sitting here, bored, reading up on stuff, I hear "turbo-charged, all wheel drive" on World's Wildest Police Chases on FX so I turn around and this guy is in a sweet car chase. I guess he purposely got a cop to chase him and he floored it, doing 140 on straightaways and 120 around the curves. lol. The cops were losing him, so this other cop shows up in his "police Mustang 5.0" and the guy is on his a$$. The Talon keeps running from him and is doing all kinds of crazy (yet sweet) things like cutting people off and brake-checking them, causing the cops to nearly hit them. lol. They said he had run from cops numerous times.


Anyways, the guy in the Talon hits a bunch of curves and starts to gun it when he hits another straight road and his engine started missing and eventually gave out on him. The 5.0 spun the guy out and they caught him bla bla bla.

I was just thinking, "If that was a Toyota or a Subaru, that guy would have gotten away." lol. Cops must be thanking Chrysler and Mitsu for making engines with shxtty reliability. It looked like the guy lived in his car too... It should have had a "trailer park tuner" sticker. lol.







***In no way, shape, or form, do I think trailer parks are bad places to live. You just can tell when a car came from the trailer park. lol. In the one around town, there are 17 Celicas... only one is a 7th gen. No 6th gens, and it was divided even between 4th and 5th gens.***



Pointless rambling

all i got to say is that a 4g63t engine would piss all over a 3sgte, and this is coming from a guy who has riden in both...two words...LAN EVOS....dsm aren't pos..only the 420a's  and 97scelica is right...any turbo car held wot is gonna heat soak and knock like hell..sry, i gotta defend my dsm pride here

the main advantage the 4g63 has over the 3sgte is the aftermarket support. other than that, they are engine designed to compete with eachother, so their specs are pretty close to eachother

a turbo car should never have any knock issues at wot.  if u are having engine knock, your intercooler is too small, you are running more boost then your turbo can produce, or you dont have enought fuel.... its all a tuning issue.

go get on a freeway and run your car at WOT for more than 40 seconds and see how the car likes it.

40 seconds is a LONG time. everything that has to do with the engine will heatsoak, and the engine will die if you keep it up

is that 40 second rule ever a problem? no. Why? because any turbo car, DSM, EVO, WRX, MR2, GT4, Supra, Z, etc will be traveling at very very high speeds if they were to run at WOT for that long. the car will top out before 40 seconds anyway

wait a minute i thought eagle talons were POS. i could buy that car for dirt cheap. the turbo in it is prob non BB and inside wastegate if it has one at all. correct me if im wrong. whats the specs of that engine anyway?

the turbo AWD DSM's are cheap, and cheap to make fast. reliability isnt the best, but that greatly depends on the owner.

turbo is not BB, but it does have an internal wastegate, every turbo car has a wastegate.

4g63 2 liter DOHC turbo engine

1st gen DSM's (1990-1994) were like 180hp, and the manual versions had a td04 turbo, the autos have the smaller t25 turbo

2nd gen DSM's (1995-1999) were 210hp and all had t25 turbos.
