Last time I passed a cop was in our Accord, doing 74/75 in a 70. Didn't think twice about it. If I were in a vette or 370z or other sports car, I might have thought twice about it.

Thanks to that event, it seems EG police are being more of a pain than before. If you drove your Z back to Sac, careful driving around EG area.

The police in our area are a bit more notorious for being jerks, as this post serves as evidence. I'm sure the Fusion guy didn't think twice either, since it was relatively "normal" driving on that street to hit 50.

10 over/50 might be pushing it in a 40 zone. Generally I'll try to keep it at no more than 7 over on surface streets. On the interstate though (this was in WI), 5 over isn't that big of a deal I think.

Here in chicago, I294, i88, unless you're doing 20-30 over cars will run you off the road (55mph limit).

In Florida , maximum penalty for up to 6mph over the posted limit is a verbal warning. My threshold for enforcement is location specific. On surface streets I generally give 10mph over posted ,on a closed access multi lane I give 15 over before my interest is even piqued. OP you may have someone in your community calling in complaints of speeding. Especially in a case where they are'nt normally there. I absolutely hate having to sit in one spot that "Joe Neighborly" called his city commisioner and said people are going to fast. Then you get there and people are going 5 over or 3 over the limit. And in general ( There's always the 10%) cops don't care what you drive unless you're hanging out with true rice bouncing off the limiter and attempting to drift through downtown.

It's just the cops in our neighborhood that are notorious for pulling someone over for the most minor things, if you happen to catch them in a bad mood. I need to look for a Tow license plate holder just to be safe.

Thanks for your perspective. I think one of my concerns is that some may consider the 2015/16 Nismo a bit "riced" up. I've bumped into quite a few people who gave compliments, and several have modded cars, and they still said things like, "Great work!", or "Nice Mods!", and "What car is that?". So it's quite evident that a limited number of people here are aware this is what a stock Nismo looks like.

So if that's any indication, I'm curious if officers here might get the idea mine was specifically "modded" for street competition.

Soooo I guess they'll just have to fire up the "Shocked" face :eek: when they stumble on me in a boosted 15' Nismo all riced out and such.:rofl2:

Not many up, I have a BP build thread going now in the forced induction section. About 90% done.

dere was a faktard dumbarse in a benz sitting at a light next to me one time while i was in my z.. he had a village cop right behind him but he didnt notice and when the light turn green he floored is AMG like a mofo running to the bathroom post tacohell.

i bet he was going like 60+ in a 30mph residential area. lol he was immediately pulled over.

survival of the fittest.

JARblue 06-03-2016 01:27 PM

Don't apologize for that idiot who isn't paying attention :shakes head: How hard is it to look in your mirrors once in while?

Just two days ago, I passed a 2 cop convoy on the road and a speed trap cop further down the road. I had cruise control set at 90 mph in an 85 mph speed limit and a clear left lane to pass. I've been pulled over before doing 80 in a 75 and driving in the left lane not passing - he gave me a warning when I explained I was only in the left lane because the condition of the right lane was so poor I did not want to drive on it.

I did this once in the Z except the cop was two cars behind me and I saw him - I was just trying to make the green left arrow at the next light. I redlined 1st and 2nd gear and then shifted to 6th gear at 62 mph (60 mph speed limit). He pulled me over saying he paced me at 78 mph :rolleyes: I asked him politely to review his video that begins recording when he set his pace. He came back, rolled his eyes at me, and gave me a warning :icon17:

I do too much dumb stuff on my own. I don't need to be responsible for what other jackasses do. ;)

TX has 85 mph speed limits on their interstates? Nice!

Nope, but there are several with 80 mph portions. The 85 mph speed limit is on TX 130, which is a toll road.

I need that speed limit on my commute back and forth to work. I would prefer the autobahn....LOL My 52 mile commute wouldn't take long at all.
