Is it illegal to rev your engine at a stop light at a police car? Of course, I wouldn't actually race, but I wonder what would happen if I pretended like I was going to. I am SO tempted to try it.

"Display of power" is a ticket, regardless if you're driving an 88HP Metro or a 700HP big block. When you rev, it is considered a "display of power"...yeah I know:rolleyes:.
Though you'll likely have less of a chance getting a ticket with the tinny sound the Metro makes over the BBC.
On the other hand, if you had a 6-inch, annoying fart-can under the Metro...

I used to have a car that ran rough, and I would have to rev at stop signs to keep it from stalling. If I woul've got a ticket for that I would have lost all respect for the law.

A cop can give you a ticket for damn near anything, IE:
Exhibition of acceleration
Exhibition of deceleration
Display of power (near limitless boundaries)
the list goes on and on, I have the arizona police law reference book, its great.

Our cops are pretty cool when it comes to the small stuff. Saturday night while pulling out of the blockbuster parking lot I revved up pretty high when i came to the stop sign. Right after this I notice a cruiser, and an unmarked car basically facing me in another lot. Nothing happened, though I deffinately wouldnt do it again :loser:

well in cars its not nearly as common, but on motorcycles you can cause the back wheel to come off the ground (endo/stoppie), so its fun.

I heard cops dont really mind when you ram your car as hard as you can into theres.. as long as you dont start moving 15 feet or more away from the cop car.
