Default Almost pinched! Love the stealth!

Driving up a big hill, hit the gas WOT. Super loud as I have Takeda intake and ISS Forged DES Exhaust. No big deal... Went to about 120-120kph in a 100kph zone. Coming back down the hill about 20 minutes later (normal driving), I get to the bottom and there is a cop sitting there with his radar gun. I don't think he realized who I was as I passed him, but as I passed him, he did a triple take on my car, starring at it very hard. I'm positive he thought I "might" be the same car but it was so stealth and quiet as I passed him in low rpm's he had no proof it was me going up the hill WOT!!!

SO CLOSE but yet not pinched!

I love this car!

Lol, man I've gotten out of 2 tickets luckily.. Once for just about drag launching the car at a intersection (unknowingly with a cop car 2 cars back) from 0-60mph (in a 40mph zone) and he just asked what that was all about, I replied I was testing out a new carbon driveshaft for a company and yes it was stupid of me to try that on a open road... He chuckled and said it was a quite impressive distance to hit 60mph in and the exhaust sounded really good! The other time was carrying the car sideways slightly across a wet overpass and there was a forest ranger at the intersection prior to the overpass, I carried it across the bridge then straight lined to 85mph and coasted, he caught up about 2 miles later and pretty much gave me the same run down as the state trooper did! After that, I decided to refrain from fun driving on open roads..
