Then he proceeded to call it in as "red sportscar, unknown make and model" (at which point I almost asked for his man card) and proceeded to give us a dressing down while he waited to find out if we'd stolen it.

It wasn't stolen, he couldnt manage to clock us and well, he had nothing on us so he had to let us go. Don't ya know he had a bad night.

I got that reaction once in the nsx, 110+ in a 45 on a farm road. Military id turned it into a tint ticket

Agree 100 % The exhaust note is not very impressive at all to me from the Viper. A Vette or even a Mustang sounds much better. Another negative about the Viper is HEAT...it will fry you. My Vette has the performance plus very cold A/C plus an Active Handling System and Traction Control that the Viper doesn't have. It is a badazz car though.

You did better than me. My last ticket in the Vette was for 105 in a 55... I had luckily just slowed down from a bit more than 105...got pulled went through the "I have a concealed weapon officer" thing and he ended up lowering it to a 70 in a 55. I had to attend a 4hour safe driving class and then it did not hit my insurance.

The very next day is when it was taken to the shop to get the supercharger...cam and full exhaust installed.

A fucking Japanese piece of shit truck will easily haul your stupid lawn mower..

But you are right - it's their money and who cares? I don't really it just defies logic, etc.

I was going to respond to Rae Rae but you'll do... The special edition Mustang looks COOL!!!!! That's why! I'm sorry, it's not always, "hey look at me", maybe he just likes the way it looks. The truck thing is the same... I'd rather look at a 2011 F-350 in the driveway than some "Japanese pos"... I love the way my bike looks and I sometimes stare at it for minutes at a time... I doubt I'd feel the same about a Kymco 125 although it would still get me from A-B. Seriously fellas, if we all only bought EXACTLY the bare minimum of what we need, we'd all be driving mopeds and Yugos. I don't even want to contemplate a world like that!!!

I find that as I get older I have no issues with driving at or even under the speed limit even in a "fast car"

I do, however, pull the f over if I'm in sightseeing mode and there's other traffic around.
