Shits...its the Popo!!

If you dont speed then the police are no problem. just learn the headlight pattern or something, just like we all did with the crown vics.

Those undercovers trying to bust people for doing 10 over is not where they need to concentrate their forces. And headlight pattern? WTF does that have to do with anything? If you see their headlights right behind you at night your probably pretty damn close to getting pulled over anyway.

exactly...well with all these m5x/s5x/m30/m20 turbo e30's runnin around...
i guess they trying to even it out? lol

Haha, damn them. Its turbo time.

We have some crazy valley cop cars - civics w/ wings, corvettes, impalas, suvs (like stock looking tahoes), superdutys, oldsmobiles, all kinds of other drug repo cars. There was 745 undercover dea car at the dealership the other day, reds and blues hidden in the visors. Even though they aren't coming after you for some traffic ticket, but still crazy shit out there.

I wonder if the crazy bike guys will still be able to outrun those?

the police version w/ the v8 goes from 0-60 in 6.0sec, idk about the v6's. I hear that most of them are the 6ers thankfully

We've got Charger R/S State Police interceptors around here.
Someone also just donated a brand new Mustang GT to the local police force....ohhh boy.

[Jesse30]

we have a lot of those showing up around where i live.



bikes will still be able to outrun those. bikes are scary fast.

[herragge]

Yeah those are the Dodge Charger Interceptors. Pretty neat, tough looking vehicle. It has a "HEMI" but there are lots of cars out there that would be able to outrun this. They don't have the SRT-8 420hp engines in em I believe.

yes, even a ninja 500 should be able to out maneuver/accellerate a charger and any decent 600 won't have a problem. even if ALL OUT that charger could hit 155 a bike can get up to 155 much quicker and zip in/out cars easier. dont ask me how i know but you can outrun the camaro z28 CHP's with a cbr 600.

In atlanta they have a Zo6 and a Porshe Carrera. Both are blacked out and unmarked. Except for the sign on the bumper that reads "provided for your protection by you neighborhood drug dealer" Those two cars pull over crotch rockets. There is a big problem in Atlanta with those bikers. Not really the city you want to be speeding on a bike in my opinion.

[bmancrash]

Ive seen one STI out in Chandler, Az badged for highway patrol as well.

[Nygdup]

Ya, the bikers in Atlanta are idiots.

[dvs909]

I say we pool our money together and donate a cement truck to the police force.

The Grand Fury headlight pattern was the one that could best identify. I know that some of us had not been driving long enough to remember that cop cruiser but back in the 80's we could spot that set of headlights a mile away.

A few posts back, someone mentioned that their police department uses Volvo station wagons. Now I must say that there is nothing less thretening than a cop in Volvo.. OH GOLLY! A COP IN A VOLVO? What is he going to do, PULL ME OVER? HAHAHAHAH I dont know why this is.. I mean if I get pulled over by a crown vic or a malibu, my heart jumps into my throat. But if I got pulled over by a cop in a Volvo, I would have a hard time taking him seriously.

I figure that ANY car that is trailing me in the dark could be a cop. And if in doubt, I usually ease over and let them pass. I was riding with my girlfriend down the interstate and we were doing about 80 in a 55 zone. She was driving (big mistake) and when we were pulled over she told the cop that she got distracted for a moment and that's why she was going so fast. The cop said, "I figured as much, so I decided to trail you for a good 5 miles to give you the benefit of the doubt but not once did you slow down." and the whole way home I could not help but to wonder WHY she didn't think that there was something unusual about being followed by another car in the left lane. I mean as a general courtesy, if someone is riding behind you and you are in the left lane, you should slide over one lane so that they can pass. Secondly the headlights of the cop car was steadily lighting up the interior of our car so I can't imagine why it never occured to me that we were being trailed.

looksl ike we will just have to lose them in the twisties:p

[JasonC]

I was woundering when i was going to see one of those things as a cop car. The police around here have crown vics still. The worst cop car around here was a dodge omni in a little town in west virgina. And it wasn't even a glh.

Yay for built-in K40.
