Both cars were sick, but as someone else stated where I live somebody would have gone to jail or prison for sure.

When I lived in Jersey, over a certain limit meant your license for three months and a racing ticket worth 5 points (great for your already ridiculously high insurance). Then they would try to bang you for illegal stuff on your car from loud exhaust, no cats, and whatever else. Would cost you a pretty penny....also heard some stories of the slippery steps if you opened you mouth to much...

still sounds worth it to me though...

Same here. I've ran from cops in a Tahoe only because I didn't want a speeding ticket. In my defense I was 19 years old. Also ran from cops in my 92 Camaro for . Ran from the cops in my turbo MR2. Took a redlight sideways going right, never slowed up. (dumb) but man once I hit the twisty roads I think the cop gave up.

Since then I was one night showing my car how much "power" my Cobra had. Went from a dig at a redlight not knowing about a mile up the road a cop was sitting in the median with radar facing towards me. I took it up to around 140mph and I passed him on the brakes going about 70. He hit the lights and I said ah **** it and pulled over. He came up to my door and the first thing he said was "I appreciate you pulling over. I heard your supercharger spooling up when you left the light." I asked him "How fast did you clock me at?" and he said "75" and I laughed and said "I'll take it". He turned out to own a 93 Cobra and let me go. A week before I actually took the chief of police a ride in my car.

I was running a C5 Z06 about 4 years ago down the highway and we passed a cop facing the opposite direction in the median with us both running about 120.

He didn't even pull out lol.
