Steve,
It was an 89 MR2 MK1 supercharged - and one of my favorite cars of all time. The blower gave it a really wide torque curve, IMHO, much better the the turbo MKIIs.
I came over the crest of a hill on Route 222N and had slowed to about 120 when I blew by a cop in the median. Looked into the rear view, he didn't budge so I cranked it back up to 140. He caught up with me several miles later when the expressway ended at a light. I got a 15 minute lecture and no ticket because "I didn't get a clean clock and I'm not that kind of cop". I thanked him, promised him I would not do it again and shook his hand. That was 13 years ago, so far I've kept my word.
Yes, it was spooky - but curiosity got the better of me. Even so, it was suprisingly well behaved at speed. Ranks about 3rd or 4th in the list of dumbest things I've ever done. I guess Darwinism doesn't always work.
