I've paid my speed tax

[rh71]

Anyone else? I have a 3.0 and while it doesn't get to 60 about 1.4 seconds faster like the 4.8, the I6 still moves it swiftly and smoothly. I join another highway and the 2 right lanes are bit congested so I easily accelerate it into the left lane... completely clear so I'm moving along passing everyone and less than a mile is a downhill section... yup, a black menacing Dodge Charger sits on the roadside and here I am without a radar/laser detector. 75 in a 50. It sure as sh!t should be higher than 50 maximum but whatever, I guess I'll just pay the $195 (11-20mph over is the same price, coincidentally). The cop also asks why I'm doing 75 with 2 small children in the back. Umm, 75 is not 90 and that's just passing speed on a typical highway which this was - I didn't say it but was thinking it.

Anyway, my question is, how do you people in the 4.8s and 35d's not get busted because it's not easy keeping from opening her up even once in a while.

install a ra/lidar detector/jammer?

[AUU 555]

radar/laser detector is not allowed here. So, I got busted several times ! with my 4.8i onl 1 time , It was a 70mph I was doing 85 !

But a good story to tell is once got busted doing 197.2 mph (police car radar) on a 75, The car was Lamborghini LP640. They took the car for 3 days :p

Get a V1. I toyed with trading my E90 for an E70 3.0si and that thing would get me in more than plenty of trouble.

I also have a Valentine One in both of my cars. I have them hard wired... Find an attorney to have your ticket fixed...

I don't escape getting busted

quite simply. the 4.8 provides feedback in the exhaust note and the rumble in the acceleration. the 3.0 is smooth and quiet. and will get from 55 to 75 in a hurry.

don't feel bad RH, my wife has been pulled three times in her E53 3.0 over the last year.

besides that, most cops don't like to drive fast. my kid just leans into the turns more at 90.

come to ontario! we do 80+mph on our highways most of the time

Don't have a 4.8 or a 35d. I have a 4.4 but the easy
answer is drive the speed limit or don't get caught........

My father always says "Don't spit up in the air" which means I'll get pulled over tomorrow for posting this.

I don't have a radar detector, which probably saved me the last time I got pulled over. I was so nervous, I lost the power of speech. http://www.xoutpost.com/off-topic/lo...ed-brakes.html

If the road is part of your daily routine, know the roadway and where they hide.

If I'm driving in unfamiliar territory, I try to stay with the flow of traffic, which as you said moves well above the limit.

Eyes open....Be aware of potential hiding places; blind curves, cut outs behind bushes and down slopes.

Don't lead the pack, follow it. Let someone else be the patsy.

Don't ride the left lane solo. Stay right - don't be the lone car out there passing everyone in the hammer lane. Make your move and get back in with the flow.

That being said, it's the luck of the draw. Be careful out there and don't piss and moan (not directed at you) when you get caught.
