would you run?

I was racing a 93 cobra in my 96 fireturd, we fly past the end of the 1/4 doing 100mph when I look in the rearview and see the flashing lights behind us. I let off the gas and as the lights got closer I noticed it was a county sherrif in a suburban. I knew there wasnt any way he could keep up so I gunned it up to 140mph, the cobra was right behind me. We went for about 12-15 miles and pulled off on an oilfield lease road,we followed the winding dirt roads back into town, split up and got away. I was paranoid for weeks afterward wondering if he got our plates.

that is the only situation I would run. Out in the country with noone around. there is noway in hell I would let anyone permenently take my car that I would still be paying for. The punishment for street racing does not fit the crime in some states(florida). I think that people that are racing newer cars like 03 cobras, new gt's,ls1..... would willingly give there car to johnny law whether they owe money on it or not. Big fines I could live with but pulling over knowing that this would be the last time that I ever drove my car I don't think I could do. I would rather burn it to the ground then let it become a special type cruiser that says on the side " this car was confiscated from a street racer". I would never run in a city or town but out in the country if i'm already doing 100mph with my adrenaline pumping then i would probably just keep it to the floor. If I get busted afterwards then so be it. I tried to keep the car but it just didn't work.

p.s. I barely ever street race and we don't have organized street racing around here so its only like 3 or 4 cars going out to the country when we race.
