Default cop z28 kill

ok little explanation before i get to the story.. here in michigan every once in a while you run across an early 4th gen camero that looks stock except for a little bubble light on the dash board.... highway cops!
well this morining on mound on the way to work one such z28 pulls up next to me .. i look over at him and see the light on the dash and ignor him... untill he throws some revs at me... so i figgure ok hes just trying to sucker me in... light changes and he gets a decent launch... so i hang slightly behid him just to see what he would do... nothing ....
next light we line up again and he starts throwing revs at me again... so i figgure **** it lifes short if any thing ill get a good story out of it.. so the light changes we both get good launches (traction blows on my tires) through first he was right there with me.. seckond i jumped ahead and by third he was about 2 lengths back... by then we were getting close to traffic so i shut it down ... he noticed the drop back and did the same except he dropped in my lane behind me and threw on my lights..
i just kinda thought to my self... figgures the one time i find a cool cop he was just trying to sucker me in.....
so i pull over and stop .... of corse he has to sit in his car a bit
he comes up to my windo and asks the question "do you know why i pulled you over" feeling cocky i say 'because i won?'
much to my supprize he started laughing... so he stood there and b-sed with me a bit... he was actully a pritty cool guy... turns out he was running a stock lt-1 with headers.... stock exaust but headers.... and he was supprized i out ran him with a v6 bird
so i told him what i was running and he was shocked that it still looked like the 6banger special... he told me to have a nice day i did like wise and he replied 'it woulda been alot better if you would have tried to run' ...
so next time you guys get pissed at cops remember there are some of us behind that badge.

I've sure never come across any of "us" that wear a badge. As a matter of fact, one of "us" just gave my g/f a ticket yesterday. I'm not a fan of cops.

Damn Cuda! That was a cool *** story. We have a few troopers that have LS1's but they are all marked up so I doubt they would be game. Anyway, Great story.

two cool cop stories both in my 69.
first one was about 6 months after I got it. driving along about 5 over and blue lights, turns out the cop just wanted to see the 69 up close. we bs'd about 30 min and he left.

the second was when I stilll had the 406 tremec 5 spd. I was having some tuning issues, the carb was breaking up at high rpm. I was taking a break from working on it, drove in to the town near my dad's place to grab a bite to eat. just above my dad's place on the way back I decide to open it up. there are two half mile straights with a slight right hander in the middle. I got up to @ 130 on the first straight, started slowing for the turn going to open it up again on the second straight. as soon as i started slowing down I see blue lights from behind a tree. I shifted into neutral and coasted to a stop got out and sat on the drivers fender. it was a georgia state trooper. he jumped out and yelled what the hell were you doing?! I explained about the carb problem and he was cooling down, he suprised me by asking if I'd tried the fuel level and a few other carb questions. he ended up letting me go with a warning and complements about my car.

Good kill, cuda! Wish there were more of "us" around, so I could get a cop car kill, too. Yeah, I'm with unit. Not too partial to cops myself. Nothing against the ones that are straight shooters, though.
