So driving down one of the larger KC streets in soccer mom shppping land hell I was following someone window shopping at 45... 30.. 45... 25...45 I'm like come one, did you not know your in traffic... Then as we come to the next light and they STOP at the green light... so I honk and just kinda throw my hand up like.. WTH.... Do you want to create a wreck... so as we pull away from the already green light I've had enough and mash the peddle and shoot on around... And 30 seconds later a Sheriff in a Tahoe pulls me over.. I guess he was a couple of cars back behind me... I had used my blinker, but I did put some distance between us, rapidly to say the least... So crap, you got me... So he walks up and I have my licence in hand and he says... "Is this a 2016 Z71"... what.. A yes well its a '15... then he asks me to pull out of traffic into a parking lot.. OK... this is odd. Comes back up and he says Ah man your truck is sweet, I can't find a Z71 anywhere... I still have my license in hand. He tells me "I'm not giving you a ticket, that driver was being an idiot... Care if I take a look." So for the next 20 minutes we talk Tahoe's, come to find out he had just got off work and had been looking to buy a Z71. He was under the truck, in the truck, under the hood.. looked like I was getting searched... We started talking about the motor / power and I told him it was tuned... "Care if I drive it".. ah. ok... Well, I'll say this, cops drive the S#$t out of car... In my life, I have never had this much fun getting pulled over... Very cool guy and he is a fanatic.. He was driving a PPV version he told me my truck was much better acceleration wise.. He ought to know... I told him to tune his PPV..

These guys put up with so much BS throughout their day and I've always have respect for the profession. Normally they are NOT making someones day when they are in your rear view mirror but today is one for the books for me..

that is good to hear i guess most of the guys in police like these trucks because whenever i had accident or something then after following through whole procedure they would ask me ,is this 2015 model and then they start to give compliments

Hey. They are just human too. Most of them seem to be car guys too. I've been pulled over a few times in my old Trans Am just to have them look it over lol

Well I did tell him about this site and it is in the infamous little notepad they all seem to be issued. And I did think about the race thing but how would either of us explain that... especially if I beat him..

It would be you by a bunch until you got way into the triple digits. That couple of inches of drop along with the wide profile 17" High Speed rated tires might give him a bit of advantage over 130. I think the test on the 2WD PPV Tahoe's top them out at 137.
