Sunglasses would have saved him there.

Lol. Yup. All videos I've seen before people removed mirror. Mainly for a better view for the camera. And they wear a helmet. At least they are somewhat safety minded. I would rather do the Texas mile or the race from ft Stockton to sanderson. Than just speeding down any highway.

I dont see how that **** will hold up in court seeing as they do not have an actual measurement of his speed. I was pulled over by a cop who chased me down when I was younger, even though he knew I was doing 135+ he could only ticket me for what he clocked me for 72 mph and didn't take me to jail. Someone obviously snitched on this guy.

I think he had the videos linked off his ebay for-sale page for it. Smart move!
Note the third reply!!! He probably was the one that sent the info to the cops.

I would imagine one of the ancient shitbags on corvette"OLDFART"forums ratted him out..the videos were linked in his for sale ad and there were several comments from members....a mod later locked his thread due to the videos...In any event he was not very bright to post video evidence of his shenanigans, as more police departments are looking into these things every day...

Unfortunately its in the eyes of the law. I was supposedly street racing according to one cop. And the judge took his side even tho there was no proof. Class B misdemeanor.

that **** will stick if they are determined. depending on how he posted with what info, seems like the cops know him though the bad part is you can see his face in the mirror. as far as anything else if he has money to charge a vette he should have money to get a good lawyer for this


but one thing we learned now. is more cops going to try this **** LS1MEMBERS BEWARE DONT SHOW YOUR PLATES OR FACES IN VIDS!!!!!!!!
