"The PIT maneuver is a method, popular with police departments, by which one car pursuing another can force the pursued vehicle to abruptly turn sideways to the direction of travel, causing the driver to lose control and stop. The acronym "PIT" stands for either Precision Immobilization Technique, Pursuit Intervention Technique, or Parallel Immobilization Technique, depending on which police department is using it. Other names for the same maneuver are Tactical Vehicle Intervention (TVI), "tactical ramming," and "legal intervention."
Simply put, if the guy in the Cuda even so much as (lightly) touched the rear corner of the Beamer and nudged him, the Beamer would have been out of it and no one would have been the wiser. I think it would have been something VERY well deserved! The Beamer driver was not much of a sport.
