exotic encounter.... last weekend

I was going south to Morgan Hill area....Travaling around 75mph. Then shooting down on my left was a blue Viper GTS. "one of my dream car to own"
no racing between us... then some A-hole in a NSX cuts in front of me then cut in front of the viper. I guess the viper was ****. It was the loudest **** exhaust I have ever heard. So what the hell I went WOT with it.
we both smoke the NSX and pass it about 7-10 car and slowed down side by side.....thumbs up laughing......
Then the viper point to me to run with him.. knowing that I probably will lose anyway... boy did I get smoke. 3 horn I pull about 1/2 to 1 car lead....oh man I might win. 3 sec later he went by me like if I was not moving. By 110mph he was 5 cars ahead. we both slow down, and I had traffic in front of me, had to move to his lane.. and I found out way it was that fast. look at pic and find out...

Oh and before that on 280... Ran with a F355. up to 120mph I had 2-3 car lead.

I think I've seen that Viper at Santana Row before. I was talking to the owner and he mentioned he had some insane horsepower number. Cool dude.

You guys are still lucky out there in CA. When it comes to tickets, Florida is the wild-wild-west. The cops are literally out of control.

Try driving in VA. by FAR the worst state. 20 over is reckless driving and you stand a good chance of going to jail, paying high fines, and getting your license suspended for reckless driving!!!

We have the same kinda deal here, where a certain number over the limit (20mph? 25mph?) becomes reckless driving, although at least we're allowed to have radar-detectors, so it's not so bad. You VA people have it rough in that sense, what with radar-detector-detectors and whatnot...they confiscate your $400 V1 and give you a ticket for having it to boot.

It's not all rosy, though. We have a ticket for driving "Too fast for conditions", which the cops here make excessive use of. I think that one is obnoxious, since the cops have carte-blanche to determine what they feel is "too fast". I've gotten one of those twice, both times in Miami.

The cops here are so out of control that you'd have to see it for yourself to believe it... They dress up as bums and behind the "will work for food" sign, there's a radar gun. They borrow bucket trucks from the power company and pretend to be working on a power-pole, but really they're running radar from the bucket. They dress up in Santa and Elf suits during the holidays. They hide behind bushes, billboards, bridges. They have helicopters and planes.

Hell, I got pulled over once in the M3 by St. Augustine at around 1:00am, by this redneck yokel, for going like 80 in a 50 (which he exaggerated big-time). He made the ticket for 1mph over the threshold for where it triggered extra penalties, and the guy was obnoxiously rude to me during the stop on top of it.

One of my dad's buds, who is an attorney (and a member of this board, by the way...if you read this, thanks again B.H.) went to court with me and it turned out that the cop was basically a part-time deputy who had bought his own radar-gun at the flea-market.

The thing wasn't inspected or certified, and all he had to show that he had made even a half-a$$ed attempt to calibrate it was one entry on his palm pilot showing some numbers. They dismissed it, obviously, but the cop didn't see what the problem was. Lol.

That's the kind of crap you have to deal with down here.
