White Camaro marked as NJ State Trooper - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Sstac · 10-11-2009, 09:08 AM

As reported on homepage.

Saw this yesterday driving on the Atlantic City Expressway... I was in shock!!
2SS, RS package, (the halos were sweet while the guy was riding our butt trying to pass us

) interior accent trim, upgraded 21" wheels!

They still had the plastic on the passagner seat!!!

As someone noted in this thread... this car was used for a fundraiser on saturday. It was for a great cause!

Number 3 · 10-11-2009, 09:24 AM

Well I'm ok with a nice pursuit vehicle.............but the $4,200 21" wheels?????? NJ must be doing very well indeed.

Road_Warrior85 · 10-11-2009, 09:27 AM

Great to see your tax dollars at work on that RS package and wheel upgrade isnt it?

Hillbilly · 10-11-2009, 09:29 AM

I would say it's a impound car from some crooks. no cost to State Police

djgrind45 · 10-11-2009, 09:34 AM

that's my guess as well, sorta like that highway patrol Z06 i read about a while ago.
still odd that there's plastic on the seats though....

1320junkie · 10-11-2009, 10:29 AM

Probably a drug seizure...you guys say with sarcasm that yeah crooks leave plastic on the seats...since when do State Trooper leave plastic on the seats..lmao

State Trooper is a Mirror Image or someone put the decal on bassackwards?

40years · 10-11-2009, 10:52 AM

Marana, AZ (suburb of Tucson) police have at least one, an SIM, unmarked.

AZ2SSRS · 10-11-2009, 10:54 AM

It is installed backwards so that when looking at it from a rear view mirror, it reads correctly.

I just love how people complain about "your tax dollars at work", when 1) sorry, but I don't see much wrong with police having semi-nice vehicles, especially since we ride in them far longer than anyone else rides in a car, save perhaps for some salesmen, taxi drivers, and truck drivers (and semi trucks are often close to 6 figures), 2) you REALLY don't pay that much toward that car yourself, maybe $1/month (don't really know, but it's barely noticeable), and 3) Hollywood people make tons of money (FAR more than cops) and drive exotic cars, but I don't see too many people boycotting movie theaters or Blockbuster... Sorry, little well-deserved rant from a law enforcement officer on behalf of all of us out there. Oh, not to mention the job we perform for well below what we deserve... Please don't mistake this as a defense for police corruption though. I know it's out there, and I see it even in my own agency in ways, although not necessarily financial...

All that aside, very nice cruiser. I certainly wouldn't mind having that for mine.

Theres nothing wrong with having nice things, and in my opinion anything is better than the crown vic's but there is a point at which you have to draw the line, there is no excuse for spending the money on the updated rims and there is no reason to upgrade to the orange interior, these are just aesthetics which cost more and provide no added performance or utility. Also I dont see the need for the added RS package but the HID's do provide better visibility at night so I'll give them the pass on that...

1320junkie · 10-11-2009, 11:12 AM

There is a city just north of Atlanta called Doraville. It's still in the metro Atlanta area..but they have the nicest police fleet I have ever seen in any state. For traffic they have all Impala SS's,Mustangs GT's,Charger and Magnum SRT-8's, Camaro's and Corvette's..and just a few crown vicks...but get this they are all Black on black..limo tint all the way around on most of them

CloudXTC · 10-11-2009, 11:13 AM

here in canada i saw some very similar to that and i was wondering wtf...
wierd that the would look this close being in different countries

CamaroScotty · 10-11-2009, 11:19 AM

Our community decided to pay $3000 per car MORE for the Crown Vic over the Impala. I had letters from various police chiefs saying the gas savings was about $3-5000 per car WITH the impala. I was the only person that voted against it.

I was also told officers would have to be "retrained" to FWD cars...True, but thats a certification that takes place yearly here, and is not an issue. I was then told another community had to put three transmissions in their impalas. Well, since we service them, I checked on that statement...they did...back in 2001 - and now there is 5yr/100K even on police cars. We've had no issues with serviced impala's 2006 and newer. A former police chief that works as a driver for us said yes, but we also replaced an engine in a crown vic a year ago for another community.

They said the impala wasn't comfortable enough, even though communities across the USA are using them.

I ended the argument that I thought it was our responsibility as elected officials to spend less tax money, and take the lowest bid - thus the whole purpose for the bidding process.

I said next year, since we're buying for COMFORT and NOT PRICE, we should just give the bids to the nearest Cadillac dealer and go all out.

PhoenixRisen · 10-11-2009, 11:27 AM

Just curious. How does one place a perp in the back? Just truss them up and stuff them in the trunk?

they wouldn't...they'd call another car if needed. It's basically just a pursuit/speeding ticket car.

There's still some NYS Troopers in 4thgen Camaro's driving around.
