Dang $290?! That could have bought a nice Coach purse! That is what crosses my mind when I want to really run through the gears

On a straight line the 911 would have killed me, no doubt. But this was a twisty road of two lanes with elevation changes plus I have driven it at speed over a thousand times, and I'm not kidding. He pushed wide about 5 times or more and came close to wadding into the ditch. Each time I braked hard before turn entry turn but knew to accelerate as I went through the curve and not brake at the apex. I was accelerating he was braking and I pulled away as he upset the chassis balance and undesteered. I surmise he was a crappy driver in an expensive car. It was fun and I'm under no illusion that the Nismo is better than a 911 but for bring 100k cheaper it did pretty damm well.

That sucks OP

Time to invest in a Radar detector or practice some patience and slow down

Radar detector would have done no good in this geometry of the road. I'm guessing he did not actually GET me on radar and just made up the speed.....He knew I was speeding that's about it. But yes, I need to keep a closer eye out.

technically they arent allowed to make up speeds, I had a cop one time say "You were just traveling fast" I asked "How fast" he said "Fast enough" and gave me a ticket. Its called a "moving fast, or traveling fast" violation. Which I dont get at all, I think any ticket issued for speeding should be radar enforced, if not you are only guessing.

i got one years ago for "driving to fast".... i decided to fight it and the cop never showed up for court.

Response to police officer "Sir you shouldn't write me a ticket for traveling so fast, but write tickets to all the people getting in my way".

Or the people who are actually speeding. I get pulled for a 80 in a 65, and right after the cop pulls me, a sti or evo (dont remmeber) goes by doing like 100mph. Im like wtf?! You pull me for a 80 in a 65 but then you dont catch the guy in the reckless.
