Yeah, looks like the cop was the aggressor.

It's not a Caprice, but an LT1 Camaro, and could've outrun the M3 if the cop knew how to drive.

Re: M3 vs the Cops

I wonder how one of our moded Audi's would put up against them. I think we have an advantage when the road ends and have to go rally with them.

ITS FAKE. Take a look at the last scene where he "Breaks down"

Its just a repeat of the frame earlier in the video. You can see they cropped out the time stamping so that it wasn't so obvious.

My E30 M3 rocks!

Cams will get you ~240 hp. The 2.5L conversion gets you more.

The only supercharger available is by ERT. Very few of them out there. The E30 M3 does not like forced induction as it already has astronomical compression ratios.

The E30 M3 did have 192hp stock (200 in Europe as they had no catalytic). Add a chip, evo motorsport airbox, and evo cam gear and you're at ~215hp. Add shrick cams and you're at 240hp or more. Remove the cat and get an exhaust and you're maybe 250hp.

The 2.5L conversions start at 225hp but everything else adds on top of that. I know some 2.5Ls that are pulling 285hp.
