90 is somewhat of the norm here.
I was driving on Rt 84 in CT yesterday and traffic was heavy but the fast lane was doing 85-90 the whole time.
Honestly 90 doesn't feel very fast to me (anymore).
It's hard to believe that the first time my friend did 100 with me in his car I nearly **** myself.
You got pulled over for speeding. Not driving a sports car. The cop pulled over who ever he felt like and you just happened to be that schmuck.

hhmmm . . . OP states that all vehicles were doing 90mph & the 8 got pulled over, rather than any other speeder. OP has humorous attitude regarding his sexual fantasy w/men in uniform. Members go all righteous about "blah blah pulled over for 90" . . . .
I'll give my +1 to "price for being sexy".
Had stavesacre said "if you could get an Aerostar up to 90, it deserves pulled over first" that would have got my ++1. I wish cops would pick the speeder in the bunch that really should get the ticket. Sports cars w/speed rated tires vs. minivan (or any other ride) w/$50 tires that are not designed to sustain speeds over 80 - seem like the smart choice by the fuzz would be to ticket the bigger dumass.

Oh oh ! Mazda gonna see this post, track you down, and Void your warranty because of *abuse* !!!!

90 mph ... I know there are times that the road is completely empty .... I had that opportunity couple of times but my sense just told me to back off .... 1 minute later I saw a cop car hiding behind the brushes then I was like phew ....

Meh, I consider speeding tickets a form of driving tax. If you never get a ticket, you will have wasted a number of hours driving that you could of spent doing something else after a few years. If you get too many tickets, you wind up paying out the nose. I get a minor speeding ticket every few years and I consider that about where I want to be. Doing the speed limit isn't much fun, but racking up points isn't much better. All my tickets have been 15 over on the highway out of state.

+1,000,000....
With equal drivers an RX-8 is far safer at 90 mph than a minivan at 80 mph but even if they were doing the same speed, driving side-by-side I'd bet dollars to donuts that the RX-8 gets pulled over.

Ok... everyone just stop and check this out. I just heard the original poster on the radio today and was lucky enough to record it. This explains everything...

"oh i can answer for him...an IROC is an awesome car.
as much as i do see the humor in this, it ranks right up there with picture of the vulture waiting for the young african american kid to die of starvation.maybe i'm just partial because i work with children like such on a somewhat normal basis.

omfg , i just got a ticket for going 62 on a 45 street , on march 19th. And guess what, I got another ticket while going to court trying to get rid of the first ticket. Funny thing is I WASNT SPEEDING. Mr piggy said i was going 55 on a 30 which is BS , i never speed in residential. And get this....It was the same cop that pulled me over the first time. NO WAY! What should i do about this situation lol. Can i go to traffic school for both tickets? Can i fight against the second ticket and actually win? Any suggestions? Damn and i used to have respect for cops , i still do...just not that specific cop. Bastard lol
