My friends who live in Arkansas in a small town told me the cops would line 'em up and run each other late at night/early AM.

cant stand guys like that, big double stanards asses. I would sneak and follow and record them and then put it on the internet.

First month of having my Z, the wife and I were sitting at a light with a minivan full of elderly ladies who were revving their engine and had the windows down trying to egg me into lighting up the tires when the light turned green. I couldn't stop laughing long enough to comply with their request.

Careful, my grandparent's minivan would run 15's stock according to Road/Track.

I know it won't take out a new Z, but that could shock a few older Civic's, etc. lol

there was a cop that gave me a thumbs up when we both accelerated in a moderately fastly motion...

kenchan · 10-28-2010, 09:41 AM

..but then there was a trooper that used its megaphone while driving in my blind spot telling me to pay attention to what's going on around me... (wasn't speeding but did kinda blast into the expressway)

i knew he was there from the get go but pretended like i just landed from Japan...

hai, ichi ni san. i like sukiyaki and teriyaki and...

he liked that.

Oh man. I've got stories but they're not forum friendly....

Don't forget that fast acceleration from 0 mph to speed limit is ground for a ticket called "exhibitionism"

wear your trenchcoat!

Either that police department wrote up a ton of tickets or the taxpayers are getting hosed. I see no reason for the police to have a Z06. That money could have went to any number of better causes.

Alot of those "specialty" police cars are obtained as a result of illegal activities of others etc......They keep them and use them for undercover use!

Ah. Well, it would still fetch a pretty penny.

it was a drug seizure and yes taxpayers freaked out when they said they were going to put the car into service instead of auctioning it.
