If we were on Route in Nevada, with straights for days, the Charger would be spinning me by now. And if this were Tail of the Dragon, the Charger would last about three corners before my taillights disappeared for good.

So while I bank time on the corners, I give it up on the straights. After one lap, I have a modest six-second lead. Is that enough? I guess it depends.

They have dash cams that record your plate, and some of them even have sticky-locator-dart cannons they can fire at your bumper.

I am very glad that the police force worldwide has some good cars that can smash the ugly rear ends of your riced JDM cars that you drift around in public roads.
