Dude must've had a light bar on his sedan. A good CHP friend of mine & I tested the slick top vs. the light bar edition on a couple ride-alongs, making sure we used the same section of highway (while either in pursuit or responding of course). Those radars/speedos are supposed to be accurate enough to stand up in court, and we topped the slick-top at 132 vs. 120 for the light-bar sedan.
