End of my street racing!!! My experience!
 

Yah so me and my friend alex (sikcrx) were coming back from the local track (houston raceway) and it was about 11 o clock and not one person on the raod so we decided to try to top our cars out! We got to about 115 and a cop out of no were pulled up next to us and pulled us over. I knew we were screwed! He then took all our info and said we are going to jail for street racing. So he called a tow company and impounded our cars then he took us to jail! I was so pissed. We got charged for recless drving and going 102 in a 60mph zone. Good thing he didnt clock us when we were going 115-120. So we went to jail and I guess he fealt bad for us so he just called our parents and let us go. Didnt get home till about 2 and just got a ticket. I guess we are kinda lucky. Thats it im never street racing again its just not worth it! Only gonna bring to the track! Just letting all yall know be careful out on the streets the cops dont ---- around!!! Peace! Best time I got on the track was 16.1 on stock civic-(basic bolt ons)could of prolly got in the 15's if I had a few more runs but got kicked out for only being 17! lol

Welcome to the wonderful world of Honda cable-drive speedos... you were probably doing 102 mph, not 115+.

Re:End of my street racing!!! My experience!
 

nah right the sec my radar went off I slammed my breaks so yah by the time he clocked me I was prolly doing 102mph. Thats what the cop told me.

Re:End of my street racing!!! My experience!
 

my speedo is dead on... I found that out the same way fastcivicboy did.

Re:End of my street racing!!! My experience!
 

speaking of speedos! Does every1 with a cable speedo notice the needle twitches?

Re:End of my street racing!!! My experience!
 

yes, my needle needs to lay off the crack. anyway, dont street race unless your sure you can dip out on the cops. you should have known. did you think a cop wouldnt pull you over?

Re:End of my street racing!!! My experience!
 

If your radar detector went off, that means he got iether you or your friend. Your radar detector pics it up when he uses it, not when it's just around. If your radar detector went off, that means you,your friend, or someone else around you got radard. I know someone who did this for a living in the marines, he convinced me that I didn't really need one. Correct me if im wrong please, but i think that's how it works. I guess it would still be nice in traffic or soemthing so you know hes using it and its around.... I dunno..

Re:End of my street racing!!! My experience!
 

works on the freeway in traffic. when the car ahead of you gets radar'd you know and then you slow down,

Re:End of my street racing!!! My experience!
 

i like rador blockers they scramble the rador signal and the cop only gets static

Re:End of my street racing!!! My experience!
 

HE CAME OUT FROM NO WHERE!

Re:End of my street racing!!! My experience!
 

;DI have one of those (radar jammers) there the best the one I have actually maipulates the radar..when I drive by the little signs on the side of the road that tells you haow fast your goin is always off by 20mph I love it.

Re:End of my street racing!!! My experience!
 

lucky your not here, 1 yr suspension on the spot and impound.

not fun and definatly not worth it.

SHORTYZ IS BACK! ;D

My radar has saved me soo many times. When your radar goes off on either K, Ka, or X band your typically have 5-6 secs before his radar gives him the reading. If its Laser, then your time is cut down half to about 3 secs. So, it a lot about reaction times. But a late warning is sometimes better than no warning.

Re:End of my street racing!!! My experience!
 

you could hide the radar jammer right? I'm sure if he clocked you going 45mph and you were doing 65-70 mph he may be a little concerned and pull you over for the heak of it and do a search of the car or something... I'd put a radar jammer under my front bumper or something (weather proof the thing), etc...

Re:End of my street racing!!! My experience!
 

lol most of you guys are wrong about radar! I do police ride alongs all the time cause yes i admit it i want to be a cop! Ok with laser once the detector goes off your cought you dont have 3 sec. cause light goes 186,000 miles per second. so you have no reaction time. So if your detector says laser then that means its on you! or a vehicle right next to you. A lot of cops drive with there radar detector mounted on there dash so they clock people that drive past them in the oppisite lane. So you have a fair amount of warning to slow down before you get clocked. If they are sitting and clocking people everytime they pull the trigger your radar detector will go off, so if your the only one on the road then theyll probably get you with no warning, but if theres other cars in front of you it'll get them first and your radar detector will warn you of radar. There is so many factors with it though.

I have one and it has worked a lot of the time. But i got cought speeding 23 over with laser :( once. My detector went off and he was after me!

You just gatta know what to look for! i could write like 4 more pages on this but i dont feel like it!

Re:End of my street racing!!! My experience!
 

MP dont keep it on, they know people are using radar detector, so they turn it on and off, so you think you get false signal, but they are hidden behind hills on the side of the road, especially in fort Irwin CA, on the long stretch, you will see dust clowd comming through the desert, you get pulled over and wonder how you pass him and did not him.radar detectors dont work!

Re:End of my street racing!!! My experience!
 

no they do work, you just cant be stupid about it.

-always travel in traffic, prefrebly with someone speeding ahead of you
-only go 10-15mph over
-in rain and snow laser dosent work so dont worry about it then
-watch peoples brake lights, i did that for a while before i got my passport 8500, that works really good
-dont use a $50 walmart radar dector
-travel in the second or third lane not the far left lane

my friend has a shitty radar dector in his camaro, the piece goes off all the time and gives u no warning, mine is way better it actually works. if you get a radar dector get a good one.

what you did was just asking to get caught, the cop didnt even turn his radar on until he was behind you.

if you really wanna do top speed you have to be twice as fast as the cops.

they have a top speed of 126 mph and 0-60 in 9 seconds for an impala or interceptor. its pretty stupid to run from them anyway b/c they have radios.
