Default Which car would you take to run from the cops?

Lets say that you were in L.A., no police helicopters only police cars, and there is medium traffic (not rush hour). Which car would you take to lose the cop cars?

I would personally take the Enzo cause it has excellent handling, acceleration, and braking.

Something that really rubs it in... something that is ostentatious... it's gotta be red

Sorry, but for sheer drama the Enzo wins it for me 8)

The cops wouldn't know what has hit them

Actually they would... without choppers and the news crews to gte in the way - you are on the freeway - they will radio ahead and lay spike strips.. Enzo or not, you are not going anywhere.

If the chase drops to urban streets, the Enzo would be at best pulling doughnuts by the second intersection... or at worst backing into a tree.. Remember - we have proof of how non-rac car drivers are able to handle Enzos on urban streets - they crash them...

You are smart, bro. I've seen the cops chasing a tank on Real TV and they had no way of stopping him. It's just that the guy was supid. He tried to go over a highway divider and got the tank stuck. He has also forgotten to lock the hatch, so the cops got inside and shot him.

I agree with RC45 a Cop car is your best bet. If your running from the cops it's most likely a robbery in which case you couldn't afford an Enzo. you need a getaway car, you can leave a Cop car running unlocked with the door open and the odds of it being stolen are extremely low, so it's easy to get in and run. You already have the radio so you know what they are planning and you could even call in the robbery your self and say you saw them get into a beige Lincoln Town Car and you would have every old person in the city getting pulled over.

Damn I forgot!
It could still work, what are the odds they would suspect an Immigrant family man from South Africa living in Houston and a Teen college student from Chicago?
