Reminds me of an incident that happened to a friend who lives out in the desert. He had some kind of insanely overpowered car back then. He was tooling along in the middle of nowhere at about 130+. He saw the red and blues appear in the rear-view mirror, then recede into the distance.

He pulled over and waited for the trooper to catch up. Trooper wrote him down to 85 in exchange for the courtesy.

A brother in law was clocked at 156 mph on the Seaney Stretch in the U.P. of Mich late at night...

The only other car on the 25 mile stretch was a state trooper travelling in the opposite direction...The state police didn't bother to pursue...They did however put up a roadblock closer to St. Ignace...

Brother in law of course stopped when he approached the roadblock...The police had him lift the hood to ogle his engine...

A corvette with a blue printed and balanced, Baker built 427...

They shot the bull for a few about cars and then told him to ease up a bit and sent him on his way...

"....insanely overpowered car...." Such a thing does not exist.
