their 0-60 is crap except the camaro, but the top end is good

[clownprince]

Oh, well the ones around here in their crown vics certainly seem faster than that, they don't slow down much.

Their radios are awful damn fast.

[Yukonart]

Indeed. . . and SOME departments "hop-up" their cruisers. Many interceptors I've heard sometimes pack a supercharger to give them the advantage.

Chevy and Ford engines LOVE a good SC.

I doubt these are blown in this little broke ass cheap country town but then again they do get a lot of revenue from drunk college kids.

The state troopers out here cruz camaro's and I know for a fact that they have a few extra "goodies" including, as mig said, DAMN FAST RADIOS. Also a good thing to keep in mind is the fact that if you see one state partol car, you DID NOT see the one before it, and that's the one that will get you, they always work the major Interstates in pairs or trios and radio ahead to the visable/running/lying in wait cars. Word to the wise, if you're cruzin' I-25 through Colorado...DON'T SPEED!

[Yukonart]

Got the article right in front of me.

Funny, I was just about to read the magazine as I saw this thread start.

These are all stock cars as the department receives them, I believe.

[Renamazazo]

what would you say our chances would be on a narrow, windy downhill road...

[lowriding619]

word maybe you can beat the car but you'll never out run that radio

[jfan]

I remember during some event back in high school that a cop said that cruisers pack Corvette engines in them. It is no wonder why they are so fast.

i think that was only in there last interseptor the caprice.... it had a lt1 in it stock hp was like 260 and that was with out the hopp up the cops do to them..they ran like a 14 someting sec quarter mile --i guess some places still use the caprice ( i know the gang task force here still uses them) but most i think switched to the crown victorias

[SlammedBlueEM2]

Damn, can you edit your post and space those out so they're easier to see for people with sleepy eye?

Damn, most of the top speeds look like EX Civic territory. The Intrepid will catch an EX though if it tried to outrun it.

All it takes is a few good mods to outrun it though. The Camaro though... unless the Vic is turboed or lightly modded K20A2.

I remember one time watching Cops, one of them actually was about to overheat (crown vic). Goddamn. Must've taken hella beatdowns.

[RunawaySoul]

That's interesting. I didn't know they were "slow." You never hear about the guys that actually outran them. Then again, a slower car with the exceptional driver training is far better than a fast car with an average anyway.
