Okay i know how we feel when we are on the freeway minding our own business and some stupid kid blows by us a 100+ swerving in and outta taffic at 7 p.m. on some idle tuesday.This is not one of those.

I just wanted to post one of the most insane experiences i have ever had(much less in a car) Its about 3:30 a.m. here in dallas......and i just got done with a high speed run on george bush turnpike.For those of you not blessed with this 5 lane wide smooth concrete raceway.........im sorry.No one was on the freeway....and it was smooth as silk.....i couldnt resist. My car has some decent mods on it....and i am now running anywhere from 15-20 psi of boost all the time.The car is insane.I timed my 100-130mph its 5.4 sec's! I ran it all the way......all the way to red line. I just ran 175 mph in my 951.

Your mods list everything except what turbo you are running. What is it? Sounds like a fun night!

We had a Doctor arrested here recently doing 182 in his Lambo on a local freeway. It made the six o'clock news.

I heard about that Doctor on the Radio here in SC.

Why stop??? When you see Blue lights and you are going that fast. Not that I am promoting it.

lol yeah, seriously, i wouldn't even CONSIDER stopping for a cop unless i was endangering myself or another driver... at that speed, if you blow by a trooper, they wouldn't have a prayer of catching up...

You cant outrun a radio

Perry 951

You can't outrun Motorola.

Perry 951

Marc - We're thinking the same again today.

SimonK

Driving through a blockade hurts!

You may not be able to out run Motorola, but the person using the Motorola has got to know where you are going in order to effectively radio ahead.

At that speed, you are sooooooooo far ahead of the trooper, you could just get off the freeway and loose him.

By the time he got to that off ramp, assuming that he could even see you exit the freeway, you'd be gone.

If you want to try out these speeds legally I would suggest coming over here to Europe...German autobahns rule for this kind of thing. And you can get caught up in some legal long-distance high-speed runs on public roads against the finest machinery around.

And the feeling you get when blow past a German polizei car while doing 160+mph, lifting rapidly off the throttle and then ramming it back into the firewall (when you realize there is no reason to lift) is just excellent.

i'll be there in nov 03
WOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!

dmoffitt

yeah as tony said, you CAN outrun/think a radio operator

i don't drive like that, but if i were to i assure you i'd get away with it... if only the US had better roads/drivers/education/laws/(the list goes on)

Ok well just want to put in my two or three cents:

If you dont stop, but get caught, you are in for it. Depending on the state, Fleeing can be a felony offense and if you put the officers at risk or public during the pursuit you risk even greater charges. In Florida Fleeing or attempting is a felony and can carry up to 20 years. Not sure about other states.

Now on top of that they can charge you with reckless endangerment, public display of speed, possible charges related to racing if you are in fact racing someone or a clock. Then their is plane speeding, then of course all manor of other things if you should exit the highway and blow lights or traffic signs, dont forget the fines.

In case your wondering, yea I got stopped and charged when I was racing on the Highway, In Hawaii (my home state) they tried to charge me with fleeing and all that, but bottom line was that at 159 mph, you can just pull over, and their isnt a lot of road.... hehehe... I did slow down and pull over, took the cop almost 3 minutes to catch up after I had come to a stop. He was parked facing the other way on the other side of the highway.

Man it was a mess, Imponded car, they ripped the car apart looking for drugs ,etc... they couldnt figure out why I was running so fast, with no real place to go. If it had been florida or some other state I might have gone to jail. The Judge even commented at that time.... well son thats pretty close to warp speed... man I cracked up at that.... didnt go well for my case. Lost the car, yes they can do that, especially in a state that requires reconstruction stickers on anything that is severly modified

I grew up, had a family and even got in a few years as a Police officer and learned the error of my ways.... take it to the track... or some dirt road in the middle of no place... AZ is great for that, Amazing what ranchers will let you do on their property for a little cash, but the roads are not always so smooth, but thats a different story.

GOBOGIE

I've done the insane speeds before myself... you're right about everything going through your mind so quickly. I've gone over 150mph in my '89 951 (stock) and it scared the crap out of me!

I've done it, I find no reason to do it again...
