Impound and jail time are possibilities, but not necessarily. I've been stopped twice in my life for 100+ (both times on deserted roads FWIW). SCHP gave me a $200 ticket 10 years ago or so for 108 in a 55 and I went on my way. Last summer NHP stopped me east of Tonopah and gave me only a verbal warning and he was only concerned that he might have to spend all night cleaning me up if I hit a free-range cow. Not proud, not advocating, just telling how it is.

This is incorrect I think. My '04 STI (when it was bone stock) would audibly ping/knock with the factory ECU with bad gas and/or hot weather. My '03 WRX did this too with Cobb Stage 1 (only ECU reflash) and bad gas and/or heat.
