just about anyone in a muscle car(especially a beater) will get pulled over.
when I first got my 68 bird on the road the second time(still in rustoleum), the cops always followed me.
While patching up a 700r4 install on a '80 sunbird with a 400, I was driving my firebird to work after recently butting in a newly rebuilt 400 in it (still had 2.56 gears) for no particular reason I decided, "let's see what it does when I drop it in second and floor it." as the dry-rotted tires started to spin, I saw a cop car at the stop sign 2 blocks up. I let up on the gas and thought, "maybe he didn't see it." I must have been spinning longer, because as I reached him, the smoke was still clearing out of the passenger compartment. He proceeded to follow me to my house and gave me a lecture through the loudspeaker of his squad car as I leaned in the window. after a few minutes he let me go saying I was lucky he was on another call. I still think he secretly appreciated the burnout.

I'm sure someone has some better stories, let's hear them!
