We also have a team like this. They hang out down town to catch the unsuspecting victims.

Their are also a few smaller towns that participate in "Beat the Heat" Competitions where anybody can race a police car at the drag strip. I don't think they do it anymore in our area though

 

those camaro cop cars arent supercharged joe.. they are a package called B4RC or some ****.. like someone else said, its jut mild intake/exhaust work. Ford sells crown vic's in a "police interceptor" package. And they arent supercharged.. but i assure you.. NONE of them are supercharged.. i know this because my brother in law is HPD and he drives one of those camaros. I even ran him on 59 near humble..

 

been under the hood of many a police car. the interceptor is not supercharged sorry.

 

to those who want to argue:

the reason they don't supercharge is because they want their engines to be as reliable as possible, and we all know that any kind of forced induction can cause issues.

 

Atlanta has a Viper interceptor. Can't remember if the lights were on top or mounted in the roof.. but it was pretty amazing to watch scream down the interstate. What a job that guy has.

 

I think the entire Florida Highway Patrol is switching to camaros, judging by the fact that the camaros are all I ever see of the FHP.



And I think the TPD had a viper with some funky paint job, like for D.A.R.E. or something.

 

Once the car is sold the the local PD they can do whatever they want with it. It belongs to them.



The Camaros crack me up. They buy one to get a litttle more speed than the normal cruiser, yet the ones I've seen have a full light bar strapped to the roof. Has to cost them 20 mph with that thing on there.

 

A friend of mine once got busted for speeding by a Mustang. He was doing about 70 and the Stang just starts riding his ***, so he speeds up a bit but the Stang won't give in. He continues to ride my friends *** and decides to rev too. My friend changes lanes to get away from him and then the lights just come out of the dash and the cop tells him to pull over. He pulls over pissed as hell and the cop just tells him to get out of the car, he cuffes him and gives him a 700 doller ticket for speeding. That was so fucked up, my friend went to court but lost too. Although the speed limit was 55, and he was doing 70 at the time the cop began to tail him, he wasn't given a ticket for that. He was ticketed for 105 while he was running to loose the cop. What a bitch!!!

 

What is your job? Just curious.
