In the 7-8 seconds it would take him to get to 60mph...you would already be 1/2 mile ahead of him. Just hope there is an exit somewhere up their close so you could jump off.

yep, I passed a cop that was outside of his car holding a radar gun once doing about 120 on the freeway around midnight one night. I just stayed in it, exited 3 exit's down and never saw him again

The Last Max Speed Run I'll Be Doing For A While...

So I'm headed home tonight on route 29. Infront of me at a light in Burtonsville are about 8 sport bikes. When the light turns green they all go for it. I would say they all got up to around 120-130 pretty damn quick. Well I figure, there is no other traffic on the road...its a 3 lane highway...i'm gonna max my car out. Obviously the cops would try and stop the bikes before me. So i'm crusin' along and I get up around 130. I see a cop coming down the exit ramp. I instinctively slam hard on the brakes...get it down to about 85 down shift....hard engine braking. I get it to around 60 fairly quick. I let off of the brakes once I flew past the cop. I didn't want her, yes I found out it was a chick, to see that I was slamming on my brakes. Well she catches up to me and tails me at 60 for about 3 miles and then takes an exit. I have never been more scared in my life.
