Clicky

This video is pretty crazy. Pulls out of a PIT maneuver three times and keeps on goin'. You have to be a pretty good driver to pull that off...

My favorite part is the background staff at the TV station that bust up laughing every time he pulls out of a spin and keeps going.

FYI it's a '94-'98 GT with what looks like a flat black Cobra spoiler. I don't think its actually a Cobra, though, b/c it has the wrong hood, and if that guy had a Cobra, there's no way those CV's would be able to catch him so fast.

This especially makes me smile b/c my roommate(tries to be a car guy, but just really doesnt know jack) is a criminal justice major, and he actually got to ride in a squad car that did a PIT at a highway patrol test facility around here. Since then he's been talking about how the PIT is the end all-be all of highway chases and police tactics. I've been trying to tell him that a person could drive through a PIT maneuver, if they had the skills. He goes on to tell me that "that's not true. Once the car starts spinning, there's nothing the driver can do about it."(Probably what the cop told him). I showed him this video today and he said, "Whatever, that guy just got lucky." Lucky?! Three times in a row? No, this guy can just flat out drive.

Awesome vid. I liked how the reporter said they were trying to "corral" him but weren't having much success.

You got to recognize :drive: skills when you see them. The guy could drive, probably a career boost man, but he should have known he needs a Cobra to outrun cops. Anyone know what you have to do to recover from a spin like that?

That said, you got to feel for the person who owned the stang.
