Well At some point in time in Northern CA On a street (sorry I want to keep some details blank for now, I am sure you'll understand) Anyways I see this newer model Z28 ahead and his exhaust is a roaring. It late and I havnt had a race all night so I decide to give this guy a shot. I get up beside him doing 60 in a 40 and look over, Honk, and point and no go. I am still in 3rd gear so I just hit the throttle and let off so he can maybe hear my Blow off Valve. I let off, it sounds then he decides to flyby. I thought he was going to "show his muscles" but he stays on. He is up about a car before I hit it. Turbo spools, and I start to catch up to him. I get to 4th and now traveling about 120mph and am reeling him in, when he shuts down. We get to a light and I get caught in a dilema of which gear to go in so I throw her in 2nd as the light changes (we wernt there yet and he took off) only to find my lane riddled with pot holes, so I have to let off, and get on it again, and redline 2nd at 8000, go to 3rd and start to pull him in again. At this point I get to his door and he slams on the brakes and cruises to the next turn. He goes left and I go right.

Well at this intersection is 2 cops in the left turn lane, and stopped even though the light is green for them. The one in the front makes a uturn, pulls into the shopping center, and get behind me. The other hits his lights as the z28 turns and pulls him over. The cop behind me sits there a few then in about 1/2 mile decides to pull me.

Cop comes to the window and Asks for my licence and asks me where I am comming from, here is the dialog:

Cop: Lic. and Reg. please.
Me: Ok (hands items over)
Cop: Was that you racing on ****** rd.
Me: No, why?
Cop: Did you see the 2 Camaros racing?
Me: I didnt see anybody racing
Cop:(Goes to the back of my car, looks and comes back) Sorry for the inconvienence Sir, We were looking for a Red Z28 (cop hands my my items back)(The other guy was not red, my car is)

I left, turned off the video and hit rewind, ready to record over the whole race if I got pulled again, man did I get the lucky straw on that one, I got pulled over no more than 15 seconds after the Z28 braked.

That was pretty cool, where do you have the cam hidden so its there but the cop didnt check it? Thats a pretty dope idea.

It was taped to the inside of the passenger seat with black electrical tape. Really it works :)
