I actually know Ronnie Gay who is a state Trooper in the area i grew up in. He did stop me one day in my SE T/A and gave me a warning. Later that week I saw him at McDonalds and we talked abut the movie. The chevy engine that was put in the T/A that made the jump was out of Hal Needam Nascar team race car, so it wasn't a stock engine.
Also the T/As used in the movie were 1976 Trans Am, so they were 400 with a 2.56 gear, not the best combo for a bridge jump. If you notice, that is a 8 grand tach, it's from the movie when Sally says he was going 110.
