maximas in high speed chase

i just witnessed a high speed chase on my local news station and saw 2 2k2-2k3 maximas in the chase. it turns out they were either undercover cops or detectives cars. it was just great seeing what i thought was a maxima fly by the other car and then it turns out to be a maxima. just gave me a warm feeling inside knowing how great the vq is. the chase ended at miami dade community college if anybody cares.

it was all over the news 30 min ago. i really hope they were detective cars and not undercover. it was a robbery/homicide that started in miramar i believe.

Re: Re: maximas in high speed chase

Man, that video was crazy! What kind of car was the green sedan that they were chasing? It looked like a Hyundai or an Accord? I loved the way that the Max blew past the police cars.

A little off topic, but I was at the Local drag track here in the 808 state. the announcer says that he thinks there is a cop waiting for people to speed past him. So me and my wife leave at speed. and shore enough there is a chase car there. and it's a 2k2 Max with the blue light on top.

I clicked on the link to the news station and there was a Nissan ad banner on top of their site. Coincidence?

that video is so cool, especially when the first 2k2 blows by the two cruisers and then the two 2k2's block the car in at the end of the video and the cops pop out

And when they're not chasing someone, they can kick back and open the sunroof. The cops have a better equpped max than me.

So that's how they are going to deter HID thefts!



I feel bad for the guy stealing those HIDs, since there is most likely an on board camera facing forward.

Nice SE loaded Maximas though.

Glad to see maxima's doing their part to help public safety. On another note though. The two cops killed in NY last night were also driving a leased black maxima when their buy & bust went bad. See the story here: 2 cops killed in black maxima

Damn, that sucks. Poor guys were protecting the innocent and got offed. All of us that have been or are in public service understand the risks, but it sucks hard when the goodguys go down like that.

I just wonder what police like so much about the maxima... I bet its the beam axle that gives them at drifty Caprice feel. Oh, and that console mounted twin donut holder with freshness sealing cover..

Re: So that's how they are going to deter HID thefts!

hey cant believe i missed that too
didnt notice the six-spoke SE rims on it
and the sunroof says its pretty much loaded
but why give cops loaded SEs and not stripper SEs?
wonder if they use 6 speed or auto

I bet those two Maxs aren't using craptenzas or they'll be in for a big surprise the next time they decide to chase another car.
