Are you sure? Maybe the white car IS your other car[^]

Is it time to consider arming the police with these?
Ad astra - both ways!

As long as the "average" citizen can also be so armed!

Have you ever hit anything with one of these? 
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

My only experience with weapons is using an M-1 carbine on a firing range (in the civil guard in Israel). Even there, my score was terrible.

It may have been some time since I last practiced with such a weapon, but believe me, hitting a fast car would be a stroke of luck.

Not at all. Granted the window of opportunity would be open for much less time, but a skilled marksman could easily hit anything that big. Hitting the driver himself would be harder, but still possible.

With a rifle? Sure. But not with any sort of unguided anti tank rocket. Shooting the rocket straight at the approaching car could work, but you get only one try.

Obviously the solution is to follow the lead of the police in Dubai! They had to purchase super/hyper cars to keep up with the rich kids driving them over there (source[^]).

I don't believe they have federal tax on income in the UAE. Their government is rich enough to not need taxes.

Correct, but I meant the "follow the lead" part, thus my remark was aimed at those poor empoverished US citizens ... if you follow my lead ...

Ah alright, yeah, all good then.

Getting the cops faster cars is just asking for trouble. The solution is much simpler, given that no car can outrun a radio.
Decades ago police gave chase to a speeding idiot inside city limits where I live. And by city, I mean a small town of less than 10,000 at the time--this didn't take place on a 4-lane highway, but main street. It ended with a dead pedestrian--incidentally the mayor's nephew. It didn't take long before the rulebook on police pursuits were changed in Ontario.

Clearly a DeLorean can.

If you have that DeLorean, you won't be able to reach 150mph without running into...lets call them "side-effects"...before you even get there.

I hope they got the plate number.
If they are smart, they look up the owner and wait for him at his home, then impound the car. With a speed of 150 mph, they should be able to make a felony case for reckless endangerment.
