Don't go that far.....Ask Draco or V2Rocket about my driving. I think Draco would differ and I know Spencer had to change in shorts when I got him home.

I think a respectful nod to the officer being on his watch is a good way to open your case. If,God forbid, you were upside down in a muddy ditch that guy would be the first to try and get you help. He probably is in fact exagerating what he saw. It would be an easy case to prove your valve covers leaking than tires smokin'. Make a few concesions to the law-it is not fun and games on the public roads and that guy has to clean up the mess that every idiot street-racer creates and then has to make the painful call to their next-of-kin. After all he is trying to do his job.
I am by no means implying that you are disrespectful - just try not to come across that way. 90 days is a long time and the officer may have a different take on what happened. I would say that clarifying the event is better than trying to deny or dispell what he saw.
That being said, our '92 930 potenza supercar driven by Jeff Purner would smoke the tires cresting the hill at Road Atlanta at 120+mph in fith gear under full boost. It was suposed to be stock, but...nevermind.

LOL, you guys are great! Actually that picture was totally staged, for your (our) amusement - should be obvious with the difference in track between the rubber marks and Teo's 911..
I believe we sent Teo a similar picture before he picked up the car, to show how well the car was running, lol. (We certainly wouldn't do that for real in a client's car.)
BTW, those marks were made by some huge Mercedes - an E55 or 500 or something - a friend of the property owner. He actually does that on a regular basis...

This kinda lets the cat out of the bag on who my anonymous rennlist friend is that has the lift and the nice collection of cars. Thank you again for the help today.

The ONLY time in several hundred thousand miles of 911 driving I have EVER gotten my rear tires to smoke or 'light up' is when I was SLOWING for a smokey. I produced some seriously white smoke on some Yokohama A008s back then. For your engine and your tires, you would have to put some well worn Pirellis on 6 inch wheels in back and then have at it. With the normal fitment on the rear there is no way you will produce smoke. But then, cops lie often just to get through a case.

It's a good thing I'm not the attorney. I would put the cop on the stand and ask him how many 3.2L 911's he has owned. I'd go through a list of stock vs. modifications that can be made and ask him to find them on my car. When he finds my car in near the same condition it was in when it left Stuttgart in 1987. I'd then ask him for his check book and a check for $26,000 and offer him the keys and tell him to "burn rubber". I would follow that up with "how stupid are you". and "Do you really thin I am that stupid." If unfazed I'd put up side by side pictures of me and OJ. Then some smart *** comment would come out like we may have been created equal, but I can't run and I ain't kill nobody so I ain't your criminal. Now go out and find a real criminal when you're done with that donut!
