We've got a bunch of Camaro police cars down here, and I've heard rumors that there are others with Corvette engines.

yeah, we have some V8 camaros in the states. I also know that one of the states has a few M5 pursuit units.

BTW, is vauxhall the new name for the opel? I mean astra, omega and vecrtra used to be opels. Another opel that I remember from back in the day was that small POS cadet.

they can be decently qwick off the line but you can out run them in the long haul, they cant go more then 110 i think. There are cops in my town that use mustangs, i think one of them is a boss

We have a few Expeditions(unmarked)
and a chick driven camaro(unmarked and no antenna) that will roll up and try to race the unsuspecting moron by reving and power braking.
the rest are crown vics
and a maroon unmarked *** who hands out excessive exhaust tickets in a city where it is not illegal to modify it but in a state it is.
$50 to 3 months as a non traffic violation and a mandatory appearance in court(+court fees if found guilty) Been here and it sucks.
Had 95 contour se sho header sho y pipe straight through to dual magnaflows. Charge was "you got on it back there"

a friend of a friend had that happen with a camero pulling up next to him and trying to race him in his mustang. well, this moron takes off, trying to race the police camero, beats it, then gets pulled over. the worst part? the camero was marked. but he got out because the judge said it was entrapment.
