Maybe many miles or many minutes later. Engines can go a long way with low or no fluids. Shots on driver would have a much better chance of quicker stop.
Maybe all the concealed carriers in NYC carry Desert Eagle .50's :biggrinjester:

I would have to think that 4 or 5 rounds, center of mass on the grill, would have to enough effect to at least seriously slow the vehicle. Anybody got an old beater they want to donate as a test subject?
Those same 4 or 5 rounds though the windshield into the driver would be more effective IMHO.
