CL cop car

I went to madison this weekend and there was an undercover white CL with a spoiler shooting radar for a speed trap. Leave it to Wisconsin to use our cars against us.

i visited the local FORD dealer..out back they have 27 Crown Vics... Some are White, Red, Silver, Grey, and well, i really didnt think anythin of it until i looked closly...They ALL had black grills and a spot light commin through the windshield. I MEAN HOLY CRAP! 27 NEW Crown Vic Police Interceptors just waiting to roll out onto the streets! Now their gonna be alll different colors with theose new shadow stickers..
its gonna be hard to tell if their cops or not when u see them on the streets..

Not cool....just not cool...

in cali we have those new aniversary edition camero cops for the highway patrol, they are hard to see, the lights on top are like altezzas and they are clear so hard to see when he's coming up from behind you, and i noticed the other day, if you look at the bottom it looks like they drilled holes in the bumper to allow air flow to the intake they probably have in there, ill take a pic next time i see one, its weird though, look next time if any of you guys see one in cali

i know the HP just purchased like 80 of these camero to put out on the highway they are one mean car and stealthy too

I have a video of an a police camero chasing a BMW on my comp from one of those Police video shows on fox and those things are crazy, this is a late mod beemer(i forget what exactly) but the camero absolutly shits on him, catches up in seconds but as he pulls along side the kid sideswipes him at 100+ and almost flips it as he goes into the highway median and then almost gets T-boned by another cruiser as he skids back across the highway. the guy narrating the things says the camero has three hundred plus hp=police edition=shits on your QM

Yeah same exact shit happen to me....all i see was camaro headlight hoping so i thought this guy wanna race (i was in my 5gen Civic Si) so i downshift and pull out on him...then those fucking lights came on and i pull over. He didnt give me a speed ticket cuz he couldn't clock me (i was chopping in and out of traffic that's why)

Yeah I lived in new york now in cali for school but on the new york state thruway they have had camero cops for 10 years now almost or something like that. The regular crown vics have camero engines in them right? or is it corvette... But the ones in new york have an engine swap of some kind I thought it was a vette engine but then again im not sure... yeah they shit all over you since they can hide legally not like in cali where they have to be "out in the open" that is why they hide over hills and things like that.

i can see the police using an import as an under cover vehicle, but as a real police car will never happen. that would be abandoning our country.

oh yeah what gets me by suprise is the CHiPs haha SUV's dunno what kind but doesn't matter they are all the same anyway, TO BIG! They come out of no where and they blend into traffic really well I keep seeing them on the side of the road with someone pulled over... I guess I am lucky or people are just driving faster than me. I've seen a minivan one too I wonder what they put under that hood.

well, it's not like i can fly down the interstate...stupid bumps
but that's nice to know...i was on 95 coming home from orlando one sunday morning...had to have been 7-7:30am...luckily i was doing the speed limit because as soon as i passed a group of trees in the median...there he was, just waiting...haha i smiled as i drove by. It gives me immense joy to know that they can't give me a ticket. I'm sure he got somebody though.

and another thing i've noticed more and more are these damn "steakout" speed traps...on JTB i saw this "survey" crew or what i thought was a survey crew...nope...they had the truck, they were dressed in regular clothes, but they were clocking you as you drove by, then they would radio ahead to the cops waiting like 2 seconds away which cars to pull over...that is just bullshit...

Crown Victoria = Ford
Camaro & Corvette = GM/Chevrolet

The Crown vic's basicly have an upgraded cooling system, a different cam, and different heads, upgraded heavy duty suspension and larger fuel cell. they get a little bit more HP than normal but not much, you gotta remember, they are carrying a TON of shit with them.
