First ZR1 Speeding Ticet

[billschroeder5842]

Well I got my first ZR1 Speeding ticket-- and it was not even a remarkable one.

44 in a 30... Just pulled away from a stop sign. I hardly gave it any gas. I figured my first would be like "104 in an 85" or something that sounded cool. I might as well have been driving a minivan.

200 bucks and even my Military ID did not help.

:mad:

Turned off his head lights at 208 mph ? 208 MPH in a Mustang , what did he do drop it off a cliff ?

Sounds line what you would expect from a Mustang driver....Bob

I don't think mustang driveshafts have a prayer of spinning at 208 mph...

Anyhow, does your car have a catback exhaust yet? I have been popped twice and both times it was basically because the car was super loud and just asking to be pulled over.

Secondly, I never go anywhere without a radar detector as they are great for sniffing out revenue traps for when you are going 10-15 mph over. It is sort of the cost of doing business when you have a fast car. It is just going to happen sometimes.

[billschroeder5842]

I have a radar detector but not mounted yet. Any place that makes sense and is discrete?

I'm not into wire dangling and prefer a clean look.

My ZR-1, a DRM500 can't touch 208!

While he most certainly is an idiot, he is an idiot with one SERIOUSLY FAST
Mustang!

Any car that can walk away from me always deserves my respect.

208 does not walk away; it runs and hides!

Give the boy and his car the credit it deserves.

It was likely impounded, perhaps he won't have the dough to spring it.
Where did that happen?
Might be some bargain SPEED up for grabs!

From the link.

According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Fraire’s heavily modified 2011 Ford Mustang was then clocked doing 176 mph and 208 mph, and he tried to elude the chase vehicle by turning off his headlights and brake lights.

The kid is 19 years old.

Think he'll make it to 20?

Making enough power to do 208 is surprisingly easy now a days. Especially when you're not making a house payment.

You're kind of limited as the UV block in your windshield tends to block radar. That's what the cutout at the bottom of the windshield and directly in front of the driver is for.

[Racinfan83]

Yeah unless you have one of those remote detectors that mount in the front of the car somewhere, or a non-factory windshield, the ONLY place it will work is pointing thru the factory tint cutout just above the dash. I have one there and it works fine. I run detectors in every vehicle I own - always have always will. I hate speed limits.. A detector isn't fail safe by any means but it sure helps once you know what your and it's limits are. We have "traffic law lawyers" here that fix any ticket I may get to a non-moving violation - so that's my backup system. I screw up and get one every 4 or 5 years. Pay the lawyer and carry on...

I just like to exercise my right to know when I'm being surveilled.
