He could have driven straight after excaping initally but i think were supposed to get the idea that hes in the zone.
My take on it is this, its a smaller town, no heli on scene, no motorcycles, so an average police car chasing after a suped up GTO well they didnt have a chance.
Add to that his driving in reverse would be considered reckless and dangerous driving, on city streets, many towns large and small have a no chase policy when in areas where citizens can be hurt or endangered by pursuit. Its possible the watch commander called the chase off in fear of public safety.
If it had been a highway chase, im sure theyd have called in a heli as well as local sheriffs and state police if they thought it was needed. On a highway you have a slightly better chance of containing and controlling a chase.
And lastly a movie that was promoting classic muscle cars wouldnt be much of a fast car movie if it didnt have a "cool looking" car chase.
Anyway thats just my 2 cents hope it helps.

the term suspension of disbelief ever enter your mind? because we as people need to use this in order to enjoy movies.
the point of that whole scene besides to highlight the gorgeous goat, is to show his driving skill. why name your main character driver if the only driving your gonna see him do is straight lines and the donut turns? the whole scene is him playing cat and mouse with the cops like a running back with the defense, and once he had them where he wanted he dropped the hammer and was gone, out.
