Special points if you wait for them to take selfies at the next fuel station. Just concede that whatever you are driving is not as good as a Ferrari (in my case a AMG GTS) and they will cheer you off with a smile.
That said, the fastest things on the road seem to be Fiat Unos.

Fastest thing is always a rental car, but yes, the cops out there do like watching performance cars being driven well.

Then one thing I learned from visiting Italy is that if you want to cross the road in Rome, wait for a Nun crossing the same road, then follow them.
