I've seen a couple in the Gainesville area, heads up!

I've lived here for 5 years and never even seen a 5.0 police car, let alone a Camaro? Must be downsizing! LOL

Yeah they just brought two of them into the keys where I live, they claim a top speed of 159 and 0 - 100 in 14 seconds. I guess too many people were laughing at the sight of a crown vic.

Thing is with cop cars, as demonstrated in numerous car rags, they are slower than say a stock Camaro, cuz of all the additional cop car weight. Looked way cool tho, cant wait to line up next to one and have a chat, ran a state cop in Illinois with my 88 vette over 100 mph, he was so cool. He challenged me!!!!!!!!!

FHP got a fleet, yes, a FLEET, of SS Z28's. Add the lightbar and radio equipment, and maybe you've added two hundred pounds by the time it's fully equipped. They'll still haul ***.

so.... who wants to be the first to outrun em? any volunters? i may help bail you *** out of jail if you put up a good enough show but get caught. lol

hmmm.. . have to get my dad to turn in his crown vic. and get one of those. hehehe. hey. why do they need back seats for anyways. just catch the guy and radio for a van. that's all those vans are good for anyways. let the cops have good cars and let the vans do the hawling.
