Default Viper chased by cops

Saw a red white stripes GTS....maybe RT10, yesterday 7:30 pm ish going south on Rt 235 St. Mary's County Maryland. Got a glimpse and car going opposite direction so fast I couldnt make out GTS vs. RT10. About 30 seconds later were 4 local police cruisers in full swing going 120 ish trying to catch up.

Oh my oh my....I believe the summer has officially begun.

If a viper has a 30 sec head start I can't see how police could even come close to catching up. Even calling ahead, 30 sec is enough to go any direction. Unless the had a chopper following him.

Not necessarily true, just consider the response times for 911 calls.

I've seen a red Viper w/stripes driving on NAS Patuxent River base twice in the last few months. Possibly a young pilot, would explain alot.

White, silver, gray stripes.....???? Hell, they could have been purple. That car was going so fast I couldnt even tell if it was an RT or GTS. I could tell the telltale front end as Viper but by the the time I turned my head left it was just a blur. I know he was going faster than the cops because I could clearly make out their faces. Had about a 20 second lead but if he didnt kill himself, that was widening quickly.

Too rural for choppers but Im sure every black and white withing radio shot was looking.

He probably either crashed or got away. You did say rural and 4 cops cars behind him?

Here if we had all the cops within 100mi. in either direction that would be 5 pickup trucks, lol. Much earlier I mentioned that I love Highway 20. I can't imagine more than 3 cops working at the best of times though.
