In 1987 I was test-hooning a new GTA with the 350 in a town I wasn't familiar with. I got on a country road, no salesman with me, floored it and held on. A silver Monte Carlo SS passed me in the opposite direction as I crested a hill, I backed off the gas as I approached a series of sweeping corners, and after about 2 miles he pulled in behind me. Another straight section appeared and I thought he wanted to spar so I floored it again... Then the little blue and red lights came on in the grill and I saw the grin on his face in my mirror. He clocked me at 130+ but only wrote it for 95, still enough to suspend my license for 6 months... Lesson learned, I've never been "ticketed" for more than 20 over again...
