Funny. A former friend of mine has a show-stopping, magazine cover-type '69 Z-28 clone w/ a 427 and the big cowl induction hood, basically a "best of everything" type car. That thing was a cop magnet like nothing you have ever seen, not for tickets, but because they would chase him through traffic to get a better look at it. LOTS of cops are gearheads.
They would pull up next to it and start asking questions; when they asked what it did in the 1/4 mile, he would reply, "wanna race?"
