Outrun the cops: Poll
I know there is a video thread, but this is in a league of its own.
The question is, assuming you were dumb enough to do this on a highway... would you have done this or pulled over and chanced the huge fine and jail time? Either way you are going to be royally screwed for going 170mph... Personally I dont know what I would do. YouTube - ford mustang cobra out runs police

The video wasn't clear enough for me, I didn't see where the police car was located, and if they really had to evade him or if they just shot past and the cop car never tried anything...I'd never do that speed, and if i were to get caught speeding i'd pull over. Sucks now in Ontario though, 50 over law here, is if ur caught going 50 km (31mph) over speed limit, $3200 fine (2000 grand fine and car impounded for a week so the fee for that is about 1200) and then a mandatory court date...It sucks balls, that being said i've only ever done 140 km/h, that was the week before the law went into effect, wanted to see how it felt before they started levying the huge fines, I enjoyed it because it was a beautiful clear sunny day, perfect weather, but i would have enjoyed the drive regardless, and since have not done faster then 20 km over speed limit. I would stop because evading the police is grounds fo much more serous punishment then just losing your liscence for a year and having to do aggressive driving courses, which are the ideal punishment for a speeding offence, on top of the monetary fines...

I would not have done 170+ mph on a limited stretch of public road anyway. If you do that you deserve jail time.

I've watched enough Worlds Wildest Police Videos to know to stop. They will catch you. Now I don't know the details on this. If the cop clocked him then maybe you consider it, but if the cop was going the other way and simply knew you were going REALLLLY fast (not how fast) then maybe you stop because I knew a guy who was going about 90 in a 45 mph zone and the cop just saw him and could only give him a ticket for like 10 over because he couldn't verify how fast he was traveling. So maybe I take my chance that he doesn't know how fast I was really going.

Can't outrun the helicopters . . .
Either way the irony is they have these super strict laws about speeding, but way more people are hurt because of drivers on their phone, not using their turn indicators, running red lights, etc.

- it's dangerous, so many other cars, you are crazy - in such a road, the probability to find a police car are really high, so you are not very smart neither and btw, going 170 or even more on a straight street with other cars it isn't so funny. try a racetrack and 1 lateral g (maybe not with a mustang...) on a fast bend.

If I were sixteen or seventeen I might have, but the possibility that the situation might escalate is too much for me now that I actually have plans laid out for my life and everything.
