Pewter- 2001 Camaro Z28 M6
Easy race killed by awesome COP!!!
Last Friday sept 23, I’m on a four lane highway and pulling up to a red light, when I notice in the lane next to me is a later year eclipse GSX.
The eclipse is decked out with euro lights, white/silver vinyl stripes, A pillar gauges, the car is just a complete ricer (see ricer definition in AAG reborn)
Well the guy in the eclipse starts revving, showing off the fart pipe and the blow off valve on the turbo. My gf starting giggling and says to me “you know your going to win, right?” “well of course”
So the light turns green, the eclipse nails the gas and I’m still not a WOT, doing as I always do(unless it’s a serious race). I tease them and ride along side of him, letting him think that he has a chance to win. He shifts into second at about 35 mph, I’m still in first, so I punch it breaking the tires loose, pulled ahead shifted into second at 50mph barking the tires hard skipping the speedometer right to 60mph. I pulled ahead easily putting some car lengths on the eclipse. I shut down at right away, the race was over.
We pull up to the next light, and flying out of the on-coming lane is a cop making a fast U-turn behind us with cherries a blazing. The cop tries pulling us both over but the eclipse driver doesn’t realize this and doesn’t pull over enough allow me to pull over. So after a 2 min dance of, where to pull the cars over at, the cop finally gets out and walks up to my car first.
This is the dialogue with the cop.
Officer- license and insurance please (smiling ear to ear when talking)
Me- yes sir
Officer- do you know why I pulled you over?
Me- I assume it looked like we were racing, when I’m just trying to get my GF home quickly since its late.
Officer- I clocked you at 55 in a 35, is your record clean?
Me- yes it is sir
Officer-hold tight while I check your record, don’t worry I’m not going to ticket you.
Cop goes to the eclipse grabs his info, then runs our tags in his car. The officer walks back up to my.
Officer- before I give you your license back, your car sounds great! Do you have some work done to it?
Me- yes sir, that is why I wouldn’t race a 4 banger eclipse.
Officer- laughs, well you won, now take a hike before I quit being nice.
Me- yes sir, have a great night officer.
We pull away, and my gf slaps me in the arm while giggling, and says “you realize you just got off lucky? If he ticketed you, I would have kicked your ass”
Just a harmless fun night of racing.

I've been pulled over several times for speeding. Never gotten a ticket yet.
Got pulled over once for getting Squirelly, The cop pulled me over and asked "Are you just cleaning out your filter" I just nodded and said yes sir. Then he told me to be careful and have a good day.
For the most part cops are pretty cool. They mostly just want to see who is driving.
And by the way my wife loves going fast.

This actually does happen, here is my story. I was at this house with my friends and this guy decides to race in his sports bike against a 01 Cobra with modifications. He gives him a head start to kind of balance it out and he still catches up. They decide to do it again but right before they floor It, I notice a cop car from a distant at an intersection. Well they didn't see it and begin to race; the cop immediately makes a turn into our direction to pull over the two individuals who were racing. When they pull over the officer says, "Who won?"
To make the story short, they had some small talk about how bikes are fun and he rides too and says to keep it cool because there are a lot out in duty tonight since the Ontario Street Races are underway. My friend on the bike has his license suspended and was under the influence. What a lucky son-of-a-gun.

Man, that kind of "getting off the hook" never EVER works here in California. I guess in your guys states the cops are cooler than here. Anal retentive bitches is what we got... damn you guys, DAMN YOU ALL!!!

Nice story, if i had a girlfriend that couldnt handle a little speed she would have to get use to a lot of walking...
It pains me to see riced out turbo eclipses... they are sooo easy to make quick. $700 puts them into high 12's low 13's.
