Well....I got Good News and Bad News....Corvettes/Cops, All Inside

I'll start with the good news, I raced a late 80's early 90's Corvette tonight aaand I actually walked him from a 30 mph roll.

Bad News, I cop was a block behind us checkin out the action. So we both got pulled over, he tried yelling and arguing with the cops about radar blah blah, anyway he pissed the cop off more than a normal cop is. I got a Wreckless Driving/Exhibition of Speed ticket and was told to leave, but the corvette dude had to stay and talk for while. This sucks cause I guess I could loose my license for a few months not sure though. He was going to give me a drag racing ticket as well but left it off.

I thought about yelling to the guy in the vette "Oh by the way, it's a 305". But I was in enough trouble for the night.

This reinforces that I'm know my car is a mid to low 14 sec car from a 30 mph roll on, so after the 2500-3000 stall goes in I should actually be able to run those numbers, traction providing.

That really sucks man. I hope you don't lose your license. By the way, good job on beating the vette.

Lawyer up.

A good lawyer should be able to reduce the charges. You'll pay more money but get less points on your license. It saved my license when I was 17 and got lots of tickets.

I got a similar story. I know there's a cop behind us when I pull up to a Corvette. I drop to second gear (40mph) but don't give it any gas. The Corvette takes off like a bat outta hell. Turns out it's a mid 11 sec vette. Cop caught up with and pulled over the Vette. I drove on by, guess you could say I won. LOL. The vette guy's military ID took car of the county mounty though..........



That was the dickest thing I have ever done in my car.
