Yup, i've done that. When I was 17 I took my 89 5.0 out on the highway the first night i had it, and took it to 130 in pounding rain. I can't believe i didnt die, and i can honestly say i have never been that stupid since. Regular dry roads racing i try to keep it below about 125 or 130, my insurance is bad enough already.
Im also a bit curious about this LS1 getting tagged at 169?

Did highway patrol follow all the way to where you were going before lighting them up instead of taking down on the highway?

How did the vics' get close enough to see which exit and see car description for arrest?
How long was the race in miles? Radio's are fast, but unless the popo was staking out the highway at the begining and end of your race they wouldnt have had time to do all that.
So, you were racing and all of a sudden several vic's are comming up on you? Obviously you didnt pass them on the side of the road or else everyone would have seen them. If they came from an on ramp there is no way you would have noticed them because you'd be going too fast (unless you started from a dig).
So then the cops radio ahead to another cop that several cars need to be radared, but radar will only pick up one car and not delineate which one. No way a cop could tell you with accuracy which car was 164 and 168 if they were near each other. Did the cop make the speeds up?
Could you get at least two of the other three drivers to post up here? I'd like to read how the cops located them at a common hang out, etc. Don't take this the wrong way but either the bust was extraordanary, or the story is BS.

i let off early cause my radar was going off i thought it was going to be like 45mph-120mph ish they kept going then a undercover vic flew past me the one my radar was picking up. he radio'd ahead to other cops. the local hang out we were going to is a local street racing meet every fri and sat they pulled in calmly and as soon as they got out of there cars they were arrested. i'll try to get them to post they are off limits to everything (by there parents) so it may be awhile. i guess the undercover cop radio'd ahead enough or there was already some cops down that way and clocked them im just telling you what the cops told my friends.

Fastest ive ever gone was 160 on a first time nitrous run....then the belt snapped.....god had something to do with that cause i was JUST about to watch the speedo move past 160. ill never forget how crazy that was, you cant even really brake to slow down like you normally do, your almost prisoner to coasting and LIGHTLY tapping the brakes....and prayin no police are around lol.

In my more youthful days I did 160mph on my bike. Passed a cop and saw him hit the lights for about 2 seconds then shut them down. I just kept on going to the next exit and zoomed home.
Looking back now I can't believe how stupid I was.
160 + rock in road = Dead rider (if you are lucky)

The 88 gauges only went to 85mph, they changed it for the 89s. I think the american cars went to 120 or 130mph, mine was a canadian car so it had a 200kph gauge (125mph). And I had it past the 200 mark. Most mustang gauges arent that accurate above that speed but i know mine was since my cousin got tagged at 120mph when i was right beside him (dry roads that time).
And yes, that was one of the dumbest things i have ever done and i wont be doing **** like that again.
Sorry for the threadjack.
