Police Chase 350Z @ 130MPH...
Police Chase Suspect at High Speeds

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A 31-year-old suspect led police on a 120-mile pursuit through central Utah that reached speeds of 130 mph Monday evening.
The Sevier County Sheriff's Office stopped a 2003 Nissan 350Z about 5 p.m. on Interstate 70 near Salina for not having license plates.
The driver pulled over, but once the sheriff's deputy approached the car, he sped away heading east.
After a 50-mile chase, the sheriff's deputies lost the vehicle, which was recently stolen out of California. They checked rest stops while members of the Utah Highway Patrol set up road spikes near Green River, said trooper Jason Haywood.
Sevier County deputies gave up and the Highway Patrol removed the spikes moments before the man sped through the area at 6:40 p.m.
The Highway Patrol resumed the pursuit and reached speeds of 130 mph, with the Nissan still pulling away, Haywood said.
Troopers lost the car near the Hanksville Junction, but Haywood spotted the Nissan again on Highway 24, headed south. Wayne County sheriff's deputies spiked the vehicle's tires and the car stopped three miles later.
The driver ran 100 yards from the car and hid in the sand. Troopers arrested him without incident 10 minutes later, two hours after the chase began.
The man, who was alone, said he was from California but carried a Colorado ID. He was booked into Sevier County Jail.

Strange, but it does kinda make me proud to read that......that's the sort of thing you think about, but would never be foolish enough to do.
sounds like he's been playing too much GTA....

reading is fundamental people... it says they were at 130, and the Z was pulling away. meaning faster than 130. 140 or 150 perhaps? the guy was desperate, but maybe he wasnt comfortable goin all out on it.

Maybe the car felt like it was falling apart, that's why he didn't push it harder! You guys should be ashamed of yourself comparing your damn Zs (which is a step down from the former Z) to the Porsche Boxster. If all I wanted to do was look at the stats, I'd save myself the trouble and buy a Hyabusa sports bike and wipe all yo asses, for about $14k. But if you wanna talk about refinement, then compare with Porsche's and such. If he was in a Porsche, he would have pushed it to its limit!
PS. They probably call it a Z cuz that's how you feel drivin' it, Zzzzzz... bed time! hahaha...

I sold my Porsche and bought the Z. The Z is a better investment. The Porsche would be in the shop more than on the road.....and I only drove it on the weekends!!!!! What I used to pay in repairs on the Porsche....I am making in car payments on the Z. Doesn't say much for the manufacturer. Stats have a lot to do with sports cars. (Stats not "status".)
