Default Run Away from Cop

The other day I was on I-95 trying to do a top speed with my friend in the car. There were two major straights that I could do it. But because of my shitty exhaust, my top speed is lower than usual. Maybe I lost all the backpressure or something because I did 167 mph on my fir MY00 S2000. It had 6500 miles on it when I did that speed, The one I have now is a MY02 S2000 but I purchased it with 18000 miles on it so I don't know how the other owner took care of his car. Anyways, I was on the secong straight and I was doing 151 mph but I know there is something wrong because the speedo was going up too slow. I was on the 3rd lane from the left and my friend yelled "COP!!" I thought the cop was in front of us so I tried to slow down, went down to around 138 mph, then I realized the cop was entering the highway from my right (All these happened in about 4 seconds ) There was no way I could slow down so I hit the gas again and just flew by him with like 140 mph, he put on his high beams (probably tried to get my tag) I don' t even know if he tried to catch me because there were lots of headlights behind me i couldn't see who was who, then after like 4 exits, i took the exit and started to go into different streets and then he was gone. I never saw him. It is really exiting when you do it (I don't know if anybody did it) but I can't explain the feeling when you are sure you ran away...

Dude, too bad that you were running with us. You were so closed to where we were racing, taken that it's the same night.

I did that one time... except the cop threw on the blue lights and turned around over the median. I was in my Accord doing 130 racing a boosted probe. it was at night(black car) so I managed to get out of sight, flip a U turn and head back towards him in case he radioed ahead.

Honestly, I was scared sh*tless, counted my blessings, and decided I used up way too much of my luck at that one moment! Not something I would hope to have to try and pull off again.

Fastest I've gotten my S was 146-50 mph @ around 7-7.5rpms. It just creeps up after 135-140 mph. And then it seems like it stops @ 145 mph. Dead stock btw. Best place to get top speed would be Highway 5 going to or from Nor Cal/So Cal. Could the S redline 6th stock? I don't have the balls to do it just yet, getting up to 140 mph is crazy enough.
