Didn't even think about posting about this until Absinthminded recommended it. I was driving home to GR from Firekeepers and decided to take M66 because I'm more of a fan of back roads. As I was just getting north of BC some guy in a late 90's Trans Am was cruising along with just his parking lights on, I flipped my brights real quick at him not thinking anything of it. Apparently he decided he was going to try and reenact the old urban legend, whipped around and came flying up behind me with his brights on. At first I just thought he was going to pass me, but when he definitely wasn't swerving to pass I threw it in 3rd and floored it. After a minute or so of this guy doing his best to keep up and not slowing down at all I called 911 and told them what was happening. Apparently one of the staties that ended up following us clocked me at 177, we ended up running all the way to a little past Sheridan when he ran out of gas. LOL V8 gas mileage for the motherfucking lose. Apparently after he ran out of gas he got out of the car and tried to run (definitely didn't work out well for him.) Afterward I turned around and went back to talk to the cops about it, they had me follow them back to Lansing to give statements and whatnot and were really cool about everything. They even bought me a full tank of premium when I bitched about running through like $40 worth of fuel.

Wow, what do you drive to be pushing 177mph, lol. But seriously, that's pretty crazy. Glad things worked out and that the police were so understanding.

Just got my first DSM a few weeks ago, and while the body's rough there's certainly nothing wrong with the drivetrain and suspension (refer to recent kill story). I don't know about anyone else.. but I'm finding it hard to believe you had a 1g DSM going 177mph on a back country road. I have a fairly modified 2g and the fastest speed I have seen in that has only been around 150mph.. and that was already getting pretty high in the RPM's in 5th gear. It was also a 4 line divided highway with smooth road conditions.. But honestly, theres really no way to prove or disprove your story, so I'll leave it at that.. just a story.

That's a crazy story, although I also don't believe 177 for a minute.

It's Kristmen's old 1g, I can't at all vouch for the cop's radar but the speedo was buried. It does seem a bit high considering how fast the TA was supposed to have been going as well.

cops lie all the time... they do it so you will talk and incriminate yourself

I'd say that if anything was inaccurate here it would be the cop's radar. He'd have no reason to exaggerate my numbers in this instance, considering I wasn't being charged with anything.
