Who cares if it's a cop magnet?
Yes, but a Motorola does 186,000 miles per second. Need a little luck to beat that.

Back in the day, mid to late 80's and at the height of our stupidity my friends and I used to routinely outrun cops in the Marlyand, N. Virginia, DC area. None of the organizations shared frequencies or channels at the time and all you had to do was get a few miles deep into DC and call a friend to drive you home after you parked it. No one ran in Baltimore because they used the helicopter to corner you. They had a no high speed chase policy and were experts and just corraling you.

As for running from say NYC to South Florida, you can do it at high speed without getting caught. A CB radio is your friend. Don't **** off any truckers and they'll help you all the way down and back.

Sounds like the east coast is better than here....my advice don't try it in LA...10,000+ cops, lots of helicopters (usually news crews) isn't worth it..... Flying dog is right Police Vic's are damm slow...135 tops...assuming its fairly new....120 if its not.....but radio is real quick!

Shoot Open Road Racing for around $500 is a bargin compared to a 100+ ticket in CA $1200 last I knew?

Not a problem... not that I'd know from experience.
