If I ever get a speeding ticket...


...it should be this police car that does it!  It's not a Bentley, it's a Lamborghini and will pull over anything traveling less than 203 mph.  It is the 3rd in the new fleet in Italy.  It has a gun rack, surveillance camera, organ donation chest and a defibrillator.  This one will be deployed in the south of Italy.  Apparently the other two cars have quite a lot of mileage on them, calling into question the number of traffic stops actually made versus miles driven at high speeds.  (Hard to blame them!)

Once upon a time I was driving down the freeway and suddenly I was in the middle of a high speed chase. First there was the bad guy and one cop car. Then as I kept going (the speed limit) they were followed by a couple more comp cars and then they called in the big guns. There were 6 or so really fast sports cars that came after them. It wasn't anything like this car but it was pretty cool to see the fancy, unmarked police cars chasing a bad guy. I didn't see how it ended but the moral of the story is . . .

If the police turn on the lights pull over, don't run because they WILL catch you. Even if your in a vette :)

If we could bump up the top speed of the vette another 15 mph we could outrun them. The vette currently tops out at 190 and it is 1/10th of a second slower from 0 to 60 mph. But my next vette, the Z06 can waste that Lamborghini well at least in the 0 to 60 times. ;)
