Unless you live in VA radar detectors are legal. I've been pulled over for speeding and let go with the cop acknowledging my V1. I use the V1 plus common sense and the rear view mirror when driving. Too many people confuse radar detectors with a police locator......which they aren't.

Nice vid, a bit crazy......but the acceleration from 60-160 is very impressive.

I dont use them because they are unreliable. I feel better using my own eyes and intuition. Its been very effective

Are you sprying all the way? It sounds like it, even when upshifting. Great video as usual.

What a mess. All of it, including the endless rambling. And nice use of turn signals when changing lanes, 90mph over the speed limit, at night, with traffic. DB award of the decade goes to you. Congrats.

^^^ In Aventura? In front of you? Probably there are a few Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Black Series... and if you are lucky a Veyron.

Nice vid. I also thought that that was a CHP at the end. I got instant sweaty palms for you. Haha. Does any one else notice the rev match from 6th to 5th sound meaner than any other rev match?
Sounds like a scene from Fast and the Furious. BTW was your friend's eclipse green and his name Paul Walker? lol

Most likely BS, otherwise I would have to assume you do not have children yourself.
