Oh man, I got so lucky on my way into work. I just merged onto Deerfoot off Bow Bottom and I'm heading south. Deerfoot is doing 100 on the dot and the left lane is wide open. Should have been my first clue. There's a white GMC truck in front of me. It did cross my mind that it looked rather ghost carish, but I dismissed it instantly thinking police only drove F-150s. Don't know why I thought that. So I pull into the left lane and stomp on it. And I'm in my fast car. As soon as I was beside him I was doing over the speed limit and I was on my way up. Way up. He turned on his lights (no siren) and I stomped on my brakes back down to 100. He just gave me a dirty look, I pulled in behind him and stayed on my best behaviour all the way in.
It did have me questioning why I need 500 hp. You can go from legal to lost license in my car in about 1.5 seconds. Today was a good reminder there is a lot of risk in this thing.
