I have gotten the tickets for going stupid fast on the HWY's and they just are not worth the risk for me anymore. $400 ticket and 6 points off your licence in a single wack hurts LOL
Better be glad you don't live in Georgia--proven to have the worst traffic laws/fines in all of the U.S.

Try $1,100, plus $42 a month probation (3 months), plus the gas to do community service, all for an "agressive driving" offense. "Agressive driving" was me getting on it, doing a little over 50 mph in a 45 mph, and really just making a lot of noise. I was evidently breaking the law, but no one was around, and no one was in danger from my slight acceleration, not even myself.

ha.. wow.. how can a cop feel like a decent human being raping someone like that for something so minor.

Never understood that, if I get clocked doing triple digits then by all means give me the ticket, I deserved it and got caught. It was a risk I was willing to take but when you are 5 over the speed limit or get on it but don't break the tires or do anything to stupid what's the point in giving a ticket for that.

I am all for getting a ticket if I get caught doing something stupid, have plenty to prove this but sometimes it just seems like they really have nothing better to do...

The joys of living in a small town... If I'm really breaking the law, I'm not going to be pissed at the cop, but for something minor, it's a little much. I would've been happy to take a speeding ticket, but it's over with now. I **** you not, if you are going 10+ mph over around here, beside another vehicle, that constitues "racing". You can be fined $1,500 and get your vehicle towed, plus some.

The fact that my pig went from 100 mph to 106 was enough for me. It runs 85 mph in the 1/8 on street tires. I like the fact that it's still stock to some extent, made more power then before and is faster.

they shut down my local track.

i could go run 1/8th mile and see what it does. however, shutting down at 92 mph sucks ***.

i will say, this cam and a 3k stall would be a great choice for the budget people. easy to tune as well.

i did however, figure out of a way to get it out of the hole. just requires e85 or race fuel to do it.

They just raised the speed limits in some areas of Texas to 80 MPH ! But don't get caught at 85. Standard fine at 5 over but 3 years worth of some kind of F--U payments and other F--U fees.
