Geteway in Stockholm 3 Teaser...
Don't know if any of you have seen the previous 2 but its basically these guys who get these bad *** cars and put cameras on them and then run from the police over in Stockholm and they get it on film and this one looks really good.

Trust me, they are there. The first 1 the guy actually pulled over for them, the cops got out and then he revved his engine and backed up and took off, LoL. You usually see maybe 3-4 cop cars chasing them but it doesn't last long. These guys know these roads so good and have to be professional drivers (I know the one is cause they showed footage of his rally race.)

It's fun to watch these videos because they are shot and mixed very well.
I can tell you though that based on over 3 months working and driving around Sweden and in Stockholm during the last four years that this is a show. Those highway stretches they run are seldom that empty even with all the extra available hours of sun light in the summer.
You certainly don't get clearance to fly a helicopter along the road like that out by the Stockholm Airport. 
I'd be more impressed if they ran one during the winter months in a Suburu Impreza Sti. Trust me,... black ice really does suck when there are only 4 hours of sunlight during the day. Just remember... it's just like they say in Nascar,... drive where the car is because it won't be there when you get there, and don't even get me started on the moose crossings.
The interesting thing about Sweden (besides the number of very qualified rookies waiting to join the Swedish Bikini Team) is the number of American Muscle car junkies there. The have some nice Quarter Mile tracks around the country and quite of few well maintained classic running around in the summer.
One of my favorite quotes was from a coworker from Lindesberg that said; "You can have your German Engineering on the Autobahn any time,... I'll take my American Muscle and do the same thing in a 1/4 mile and save some gas."
