Was the trooper driving a special Virginia ONLY FRS/BRZ pursuit vehicle? Cuz that's one hell of a story if it caught up and kept in pace with the GT3

Wow, that's bullshit. I had a cop pull me over here in Dallas, he didn't know how fast I was going just that just that he was doing 90 and I was still pulling away. He asked and I told him I was doing 103 (which was as high as I saw the speedo). No ticket, just a friendly warning.

You'd never be able to pull that off in NY!

That's ok, until they change their gun laws I won't be setting one foot (or tire) in that state.

Did you go to jail for ten days?

The story is Virginia has abnormally (some might say unnecessarily so) draconian speeding laws.

Skyline drive sucks, the speed limit is 35, it's patrolled, and you always get stuck behind slow people.

There are some great roads in VA though.
