[QUOTE="Cobravenomous, post: 189692, member: 4592"] I went and copied an old post as it best descibes what happened........Hit my 800km's two Fridays ago..........less than five hours later I was showing a well dressed young man in blue my ownership and insurance. I went out to the dealer, outskirts of town to try out my newly accessible power. Prior to this the car was shutting down at 4,000rpms........(break in) So I made a slow left onto 3rd line and let her rip, first gear almost to red line and then a couple of seconds in 2nd gear. The next thing I see in my rear view mirror is blazing red flashing lights, on the roof of a new city police truck passing the lady in the compact car that was directly behind me. I pulled over, the officer approached my car and he said "didn't you see me back there at the light?" I said, "officer, if I saw you back there do you really think I would have driven like that?" He laughed. He then started asking me all kind of questions about the car. He said as long as I check out he would let me off. I told him although it might be difficult to believe however that I really was a responsible driver, with like one speeding ticket in my entire life and I'm a rules follower! He never asked me to slow down or really said anything. He walked around the car, asking more questions. I told him about the oil change in the morning which opened up the cars computer and horse power. Then he said, "so, you were just trying it out! I think I'd want to try it out too!" He let me off, but it bothered me so much I didn't drive the car for a week. It is absolutely impossible to drive that car sanely. So, almost red line in first, a couple of seconds in second at full throttle (manual transmission)..........I think the heads up display said either 124 or 142.........can't remember......it was a 50 km/h zone! The only thing that saved me was my politeness, not captured on radar, no tire rubber streaks, and no smoking tires......Traction Control was on ha ha! I think he heard me first because I have my exhaust in "track" mode and it's quite loud! The cop was obviously a car guy! Cobra [/QUOTE]
