I've done 120+ on the highway against one of the latest gen Lancers, couldn't see if it was a Ralliart or not (it all happened so fast!). We were even on the straights, but he got timid around corners. Not me! Having basically learned all my driving in Sicily (which is insane to drive in by the way), needless to say it was fun!! As for the Bimmer cop story, I've NEVER heard of this happening, and in the States it would be quite easy to avoid I imagine.

Ah, the guy in the story made a habit of speeding through residential areas (very uncool), which allowed the police to easily scrounge up several offended witnesses so they could put a time and date to a crime, and then use his statements against him. It's pretty plausible.

I think MOST of the tuner crowds are wise enough to keep their exploits on the super slabs and less populated roads. You get more speed and less cops that way

Since the OP did ask for stories:
Several years back I was in my Dodge Stealth (non-turbo) making a spirited run through Orlando (on the interstate) at about a clean hundred miles per hour. It wasn't as fast as I could have gone on that road, but the curves and bridges (the only decent hills in Florida) made it entertaining so I kept it there all the way through.
Two hours later I was home eating dinner with the news on, and there was footage from the tv station's camera tower, panning along showing what looked a heck of a lot like my car ripping down the road. Of course the news people were all appalled and talking trash about this person recklessly driving at what they estimated to be over a hundred miles per hour.
Needless to say, I was freaking shocked! You can lose your license for getting caught doing crap like that. Luckily the video was way too grainy to possitively identify the vehicle, but I made a point to keep it down around 80 through there in the future. Safety first!

LOL thats a story for the grandkids

LOL, only in Canada. In America the cop has to witness the speeding infraction.

I don't think it's as easy as that. It probably depends on state laws and even your jurisdiction in the USA but depending on the seriousness of the moving violation you still may get in trouble even if a cop doesn't witness you doing it. I mean, it wasn't as if this kid was just a little lead foot happy in his BMW. He was doing 140 kms in a residential 40 zone. We're talking a neighborhood with kids.

In Ontario, there are two types of moving violations: minor and major. It's probably similar to what the USA classifies as an infraction, misdemeanor or a felony crime. As soon as you do 50 kms over the posted limit here, it's a major. That means if you get caught, your license is immediately suspended and vehicle impounded. Other examples of major convictions are reckless driving, street racing, and drunk driving. I'm sure if you check local state laws, you'll see the same violations classified as misdemeanors or felonies. If your state doesn't have a law similar to Ontario where doing 50 over is a major, in the above case, you could classify it as a misdemeanor based on reckless driving as it wasn't just a simple case of careless speeding but wanton disregard of the rules in a manner that posed serious harm to individuals or property.

If you have committed a minor and a cop doesn't witness you do it, there's probably not much harm in boasting about it online. However, commit a major or misdemeanor/felony, post it online and if enough witnesses come forth, the cops may at least investigate. If they have enough strong evidence against you and in the kid's case, they did, then they could perhaps charge you or issue a warrant for your arrest based on probable cause (probable cause: West's Encyclopedia of American Law (Full Article) from Answers.com). If it goes to court, it's the state vs your lawyer. If it's discovered that you're a repeat offender or have other prior offenses, there could be a strong case against you. Again, cases like these are pretty rare but obviously not impossible. If you don't believe the above can happen to you, go hop in your Forte, speed around your local neighborhood doing 60 mph over the limit, take photos/videos of yourself doing it and then write a letter bragging about it and drop it off in your neighbors' mailboxes. A cop may not have witnessed it but if enough neighbors take it seriously enough and report it, I can guarantee you that there's at least going to be an investigation and possible charges. I'm only joking about doing that but you get the point.

On a personal note, I haven't done anything over 88 mph myself. Last time, things didn't go so well:

Once a long time ago new york state wanted to issue tickets for speeding on the thruway. By useing the ez pass system and the time loged from each exit, it almost worked but they never passed the law. If it did they would have captured every one , and out the state troopers out of a job!!!
