The World Of Police

[Joey D]

Auburn Hills was the first to get the Charger and Magnum cops cars...in fact I've been pulled over Magnum cop car.

Thanks for the confirmation.

just as ugly as the normal versions...

Your police still using older cars?

Many areas of the U.S. use old, outdated cars, because they're too poor and/or stubborn to get newer ones.

Then, if you take into account that the ubiquitous Crown Victoria is a big, sloppy, ancient, creaky dinosaur, pretty much all of the U.S. uses outdated cars.

Wow over here when a new model Commodore or Falcon comes out within a year maybe alittle more all the police cars are replaced.

So when you buy an ex-cop car you still usually have a couple years warrenty on them, two of my friends got cheap good cars that way, one was a LS1 powered Holden SS Commodore and the other was a Ford Falcon XR8.

and to offset it further from Europe we have ****ty pothole filled roads and more ricers with slow crotch rockets.

by the time our police are done with their cars, they cant sell them to any other smaller police forces because they arent worth anything. I think they just sell them for scrap but I'm not sure... they are pretty crappy.

Well, its not wise at all to buy a used cop car in the US. They're pushed very hard and are extremely worn out.

You'll spend more repairing one than buying one.

 

[THE ED3]

even if you find one with low miles its still probably been beat to hell...

but if you find one in good condition, the police option package is a good to have...

 

[a6m5]

You guys are right. They are beat to hell and aren't worth much. I've seen Police donate them to smaller forces. I like those kevlar trunk liners in the Police package Crown Vics. I wish all cars had bullet-resistant measures.

Norfolk Police use Lotus Elise's at times.

I guess its a case by case basis thing. A girl I knew in high school had a former undercover police Crown Victoria, the thing is they took out all the police package stuff and installed factory equipment. I dont know why they would go through the trouble of that, but she had the car for 3 or 4 years. I think it didnt have that many miles on it when she got it so it was in better condition than most former police cruisers.

 

[TwinTurboJay]

I had a buddy buy a former security car, crown vic with the Police Pursuit package, they left everything on it when he bought it, the push bar and the spot light too ! That thing hauled ass, had monster interior and trunk room, he just had to re-do the carpeting...he's had the car for 6 years...

Over in my town we got a navy blue SVT Mustang Cobra thats been supercharged to 490hp. I actually saw it once chase a car down the highway here. Chasing a fox bodied stang. At first I thought they were racing, the blue cop stang passed us and I heard the supercharger wine it was badass. Then it turned on its flashers, a pretty cool takedown as the f-body mustang thought it was just a race too.

That story reminds me, in Barry, Ontario they have a cop vette, C5, in red, a tow truck driver was telling me about the car pulling up at the lights to him and reving the engine...( the towtruck driver was in his supercharged mustang ) he was saying the cop rvved the engine and took off, so mustang boy gave'r, ( as per him ) 1st, redline, 2nd, redline, 3rd, NOS, redline, 4rth, NOS Boom, there was a roadblock ahead....the vette was a decoy luring street racers in...really freakin sneaky and underhanded if you ask me. 👎

yeah thats how pigs work. bunch of low life tossers if you ask me...

Ouch, I've met a few cops that are pretty cool.

 

[THE ED3]

I dont mean to say that they are all bad, as some do importent jobs. the ones that do things like that though however are bad...

 

[Jay]

We have a few undercover SS Commodores here including a SS ute im told that drives up and down street racing type area's baiting racers and catching them.

Actually, they are usually kept to a higher standard than the civilian ones because they are constantly being taken care of to save the costs of replacing them. It depends on area mostly...

Here is the Magnum from Auburn Hills (it's pretty much where I live, I'm only 2 miles from the Palace of Auburn Hills where this photo was taken....the Palace is where the Detroit Pistons play bastketball)

Actually here is the website, I didn't realize the photo was huge.

Those lucky Japanese cops.. Toyota Soarer....


My friend's Dad is a cop, and he says the high mileage cars are the best ones to buy, because if a used Crown Vic has low miles and is being sold, it's probably for a good reason.

I don't know.... sounds like a lose/lose situation...... j/k

Edit:
I really really like the Skyline(V35?) Police car.

 

[ND4SPD]

That magnum is pretty badass. I'm actually considering on getting an ex cop For Crown Victoria for a first car, I find them dead sexy with the Police package and in white with the black steelies. It'd be hilarious just to see all the cars behind me afraid to pass....Plus it'd be fun to follow around some ricers and scare em.

 

[THE ED3]

but if people think you're a cop... they might vandalize you car...
