New Pursuit Vehicle

[Randimus Maximus]

Back in the day (prolly late 80's / early 90's) Michigan State Police had a couple IROC-Z's with ZR-1 motors stuffed in them.

I'm sure some of the gixxer boys I know would claim the ability to outrun all of the above.

I'm sure a 620 Capirex owner I've heard of would claim the ability to outrun all of the above.

Fixed it for ya!

For years the NC SHP was running some unmarked Camaros with 'Vette spec LS1 engines.

Robbinsville, NC (closest NC town to Deal's Gap) has some very very quick and mean Camaros of the last generation.  They used them primarily to go motorcycle hunting between Robbinsville & Deals Gap ~

NYS Troopers have a few camaros. I see them on 17 quite often

NH state troopers are driving dodge chargers these days
Oregon was going that way when i left

there's a bedroom suburb i have to drive through. They have almost no businesses or tax base, but they do have 3 miles of interstate. They use unmarked dodge chargers. Somehow they're able to balance their budget.

NC SHP & my local municipal department have some Chargers too ~

Here's another far more likely candidate for a new cruiser:





Here's what was said about it: Built on a purpose-built chassis and using a 300 HP, 420 Lb-Ft of torque forced-induction diesel, the 4,000 Lb E7 will run 0-60 in 6.5 seconds, top out at 155 MPH and return 28-30 MPG in normal use. More importantly, it's designed to a 250,000-mile durability spec. Faster, more economical and longer lasting than current cop cars, but it's what inside that really counts; the E7 has been designed around the police officers specific needs.

Current cruisers, modified versions of civilian cars, are far from ideal for police use. The necessary additions — radios, computers, donut holders — often get added with little to no thought or testing to how they'll perform in a crash, often becoming lethal projectiles in an impact. Seats aren't built for 8-hour-long shift, controls aren't created with control in mind, communications and computer equipment gets spec'd for cost, not capability.







The E7 integrates all its features neatly into a cohesive package. Check out the faired-in lights all over the bodywork — better for aerodynamics. The seats are made to support large and in-charge cops and accommodate utility belts full of cuffs, batons and handguns. Heated and cooled cup holders complement the A/C fans incorporated in the headrests for year-round comfort. All computing and communications take place through the huge dash-mounted touch screen while gadgets like radar speed detectors, 360° surveillance cams and automatic license plate recognition cameras abound. It even has biohazard and weapons of mass destruction detectors integrated in neat trunk-mounted NACA ducts.

  That's cool!!

More ominous though, and the one that gets my vote:
