Thoughts? It's a rendering on another site that I saw today. Looks pretty nasty to me (in a good way).



Reminds me of the days of the Mustangs:



They meant business in those days!!

I think the ink is drying on the agreement to buy some Holden Commodores for use as patrol cars.  I'd bet that Camaros are much less practical (though way cooler) as a  Police car:

The picture just caught the beginning of a scrolling banner that says:

Why buy new pursuit cars when they aren't even allowed to pursue anyway?

Well, it has to accommodate a fair amount of essential  Police  Police cargo.

IIRC, one of the reasons that the Mustang was chosen over the Camaro back in the '80's was that the CHP could mount a standard 12ga shotgun in a vertical holding bracket between the front seats in the 'Stang.   The Camaros had a much lower roofline, so they would've had to saw off too much of the shotgun to make them fit in a vertical mount.   Grin

If robbers can deal with the sawed off shotgun, why not the cops?  Roll Eyes
