A mate of mine is a cop and he catches people in faster cars all the time because he is a better driver. I've been out on the track with him and he is just amazingly smooth. I don't suppose all cops are as good as him but there would be afair few out there, particularly in Highway Patrol.
I guess the other thing anyone being chased by him would have against them is the fact that his nick name to the other coppers is Mad Max! He didn't get that for no reason.
Oh and btw Knore, I've been in the car when we chased and caught a guy on a ZZR600 purely due to his lack of skill.
