95mph...that must have been the first one being pushed by the others to get to that speed :)

Was that speed acheived by dropping the tupperware from a cargo plane? :p

For that many vette's to have gotten busted,there sure wasn't much communication going on in that convoy! Thank God that I'm on this side of the fence where we look out for one another!

You can't see it in the photo, but a B/W Ram SRT was pushing all of them. If they weren't heading up hill they would have been clocked at closer to 120.

The Vette's aren't fast, but how did the sheriff catch them -- Vette's musta run out of gas!

Actually, he blocked the road with his cruiser. Pretty ballsy and dangerous move on the cop's part, in my opinion.

How could he possibly say he clocked each single one of them. It seems like a court fight could be forthcoming

I like the fact Minnesota cops travel with their own photographers! How did that picture get taken so fast? Just in time to hear Driver 1's explanation....

ONE officer STOPPED FIVE????

Wonder how he got all 5 to stop in line like that.
Usually if they pull over more that one they are spread out with the warning not to move until I come back. Then they go off to get the first one they pulled over like a mile back down the road.

Do I see a woman in car #1?

And what the picture doesn't show, is the Viper police car that was used to catch them... In 2nd gear.

If you read the ad it says that they were on their way to a "classic car show". Correct me if I am wrong but aren't classic cars, older cars? Those Vettes look like newer ones to me. And buy the way, the cop was far sighted, he miss read his radar gun.........it actually said 45 not 95. Cause we all know that the old men driving Vettes can't push the pedal down that far. :D
