Someone very close to me built a kill switch into his handlebars that turned off all lights on his bike for this very reason. He'd book it, make a few turns and coast an into an alley or the occasional driveway to wait it out for a few.. This is in an urban area crawling with 5-0.
Lmmfao. Yeah, if you drive strait or they can still see you. You bump your head or just like regurgitating what boomers have said for years? Radio isn’t much good if they don’t know where you are heading and you can get a few turns ahead of them in a hurry. Shit, you don’t even need a fast car, just don’t drive like the ebrake is stuck on.
Back then it was boss the interior was like a leather living room, looking at it today it just doesn't have the same appeal as it did when i was 23. I sold a 76 vette for it all my friends thought I was fucked up but then everyone switched and started to by cruising mobiles. Following year I went back to a vette in 79. Nothing like the ride of a lincoln ,it was a car that was very easy to fall asleep in while driving thats how comfortable it was.
Daaaamn.
It looks pimp style today but not so much back then, this one was the pimp style in the show room at the same time. Maybe I should got this one instead and a fur hat back then along with some hoes . Stutz Bearcat Coupe
Couldn't really do that since I was in the seminary, learning of course to polish the bishop.And a huge back seat for those discrete 'rendezvous'.
Most of the aircraft are super slow, and you need a fairly straight section of road to do it, which sets you up to be intercepted somewhere down the line. Usually though the aircraft cuts all the corners and easily stays with even the fastest vehicles.
When I was a ute I got a call from a friend "Oops I was supposed to pick someone up from the flyaway in Van Nuys". This is where a bus from the airport drops you off . Now the poor shmuck had been stood up by a few hours... I jump in my mustang 5.0 and proceed down the highway at a very high rate of speed. A ways down the freeway a carload of other utes thought I wanted to race so they are flying along. As we are progressing down the I5 a cop car gets behind them thank god and pulls them over. I immediately slowed to 65 and the highway splits at the 405 which was the way I was going. I take the split at the 405 and after the first exit a cop pulls me over. Me "Yes officer?"....Him "we had a report of 2 cars racing....you match the description of the car involved..".... Me " i wasn't racing anyone I was in a hurry to get to the flyaway but I was not speeding....." Him "Well we did not see you racing so I guess you can go....Oh just between us guys how fast were you really going?" Me... "Tops maybe 70...." he was not a happy camper that I did not confide in him lulz so yeah if they lose sight they can't cite you. I was just lucky the first guy picked the other guys.protip: dont speed, its idiots who bomb down the highway at 150mph weaving in and out thinking they are going to outrun a radio....if you stay on the highway, they know where the fuck you are going.
drop to average cruising speed, be less conspicuous, and get off the highway as fast as possible, change course ASAP, park behind the huddle house and grab coffee for a few hours.
...or so people have told me
Oh but you can. The trick is getting somewhere quick and hiding out just long enough for things to calm down. Of course, this is all dependent upon the ride to. Ask me how I know! Obviously, it’s much easier to ditch them in a crowd of normal vehicles. If you drive a damn Bugatti or something then your fucked!
I successfully did something like this when I was a teenager. Fast car, big enough lead, dipped into a neighborhood and just happened to find an empty garage with the door open. I pulled in, killed the lights and watched them canvas the neighborhood for half an hour. I was sweating bullets the whole time worrying about the homeowner coming out or trying to pull in etc. but it worked!
Id pay a fair amount to see that. Just south of DC would be interesting.

I got GMC 2500 Durmax that only goes 99 but from 0-99 its a fucking rocket.
We have easy pass and I should be getting tickets in the mail everyday, they can calculate my speed by the time stamps on each toll.Depends on how much a department has invested in tagging-tracking-locating (TTL) technology and whether they feel you're worthy of its attention. The Unblinking Eye of Sauron and all that. Amusingly, an acquaintance was busted as a juvie for stealing a car after a successful pursuit. He said the officer told him, "All I wanted to do was tell you to turn on your lights!"

Big Brother? U.S. company's aerial surveillance technology raises questions
Technology made by Persistent Surveillance Systems is meant to help fight crime -- but some think footage taken without the public's knowledge amounts to spying
Now days yes you are correct. The true Ford interceptor used to add some power to otherwise terd cars. Seems nowadays, there are too many options for 500 plus HP cars that only need electrical upgrades to run lights.
Went thru 7 engines in 8 years and about 80,000 miles. Cracked Front plate at the dowel pin where the oil feed for the turbo comes out, dented rotor faces from detonation, main bearings would wear unevenly from block flex. 3 Transmissions, 2 differentials.Poured one out for all the apex seals lost along the way.
