Passing a police car doing 130mph felt very wrong! They didn't even flinch though - good old Autobahn!

... and legal too.

I've been on the Autobahn a few times but never in a Mustang.

I'm jealous.

The last time I was driving the German autobahns, I was in an econobox Peugot that seemed to have only 3 of the 4 hamsters still on their wheels. It was all I could do to get it to around 140-150 kph.

Yeah, but it would at least maintain it for 10-20 seconds in the valleys.

LOL.....that would be my luck....have the chance to legally go fast and end up with a slow crap box HAHAHA

I've actually heard of people passing cops on speed posted roads......fun to explain that one

But don't pass them here either. Last night going home there was a state trooper in front of me going about 65. There was a car next to him so he was pretty much blocked from sight. Some kid in a Honda came flying by at about 90. Needless to say ... BUSTED!

I cut a CHP off doing 120+ one night & just kept going...he flipped around & gave chase but I never let up & had too much advantage...not proud of it but we all do dumb things at times.

Haha, I had a similar thing happen driving back from a race last weekend. I was on I-70 and yeah, I was doing about 80 in a 70 zone, but I run a good radar detector. I was towing my track-day trailer, but it's got full signal lights, so I KNOW this kid in a Honda that was using me as a front-door saw me tap the breaks and slow down 6-7 mph. He just pulled around me, never once noticed the KHP cruiser and I think he even sped up because I would swear he was going at least 85+.

I watched the whole drama unfold as the cruiser passed me at well over 100+ to catch the Honda and the idiot actually tried to pull into a cluster of cars and sort of "hide". That was the 6th cruiser I'd passed in 70 miles, so I just decided to putter along for the remaining 35 miles or so.
