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.

Only if you catch the short time window when nobody is driving like grandma Waltraud on the leftmost lane.
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.

On the other hand, my little car can't go 150 mph, but 135 is quite possible and I occasionly really enjoy blowing the dirt out of the motor. Am I now a selfish nut job as well?

I got 125 mph out of one at midnight on the Tampa freeway once. My main problem was when the street lights stopped. Suddenly, absolute total darkness. Still the new pants were cheaper to buy in the US.

In the Netherlands there’s a website http://bestwelsnel.nl/ with measured speeds on the road.
“uitleg” = help. Its Dutch but I am sure you can find a translator.
Measurements are done by “inductions loops” in the asphalt, 24000 of them throughout the country.
Green = bevestigd = confirmed (within 1 minute, within 5km, a second measurement > 170kmh)
Gray = onbevestigd = unconfirmed
Red = maximum (as of 2013-12-31) or dagmax (maximum of the day)
The Netherlands is not that big, if you watch this website, it looks like a formula 1 circuit.
Take a look and see for yourself how much idiots we have over here

Is assault and battery running over a pedestrian with a Prius?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Are you positive there will a charge?
If it were a woman driver, it is likely the courts telsa to be more careful, rather than giving her time in a cell.
