You and your SS are just cruisin down the street and another cool guy(Or you think is a cool guy) and his SS ride up next to you....you rev up at him....and then his blues come on and gets you for instigating street racing.
NO TO COP CAMAROS

I would rather just keep the charger and the 4th gen as the trooper cars.

I completely agree. I used to see chargers on the road and drive a little faster then them and they would take off. Now I see them and fear they are a cop and slowwwwww down. I do not want to fear other fellow Camaro drivers. Though it does look sweet.

Police will not be able to afford this, Chargers, Crown Vic's and Impala's will still rule for police departments.

Oh hush you party pooper. Do you think TX DPS was worried about the Price tag when they ordered the last Camaro patrol cars?

I don't think anyone here is suggesting this be the main car. They are used for interceptors / traffic control.

They still use two Z28's and about half a dozen GT's in El Paso.

well

Also a little tidbit

I live in NC

There is a city called High Point

Its the county wide known place for people to go hang out with cars and people

Well anyways...it was once known for that

There were 32 cars siezed by police in one weekend in high point

The fastest car thier that was siezed was a twin turbo trans am...thing was mean...9 sec car (although he wasn't allowed to be a 9 sec car since he doesn't have a roll cage)

Anyways....NC has been starting to crack down on illegal street racing. I do not participate in the stupid street racing...but i do like to show up the occasional ricer at the stop light in my trans am. But i usually just gun it to the speed limit, even though it is still illegal...thats the extent to my criminal activites.

In Charlotte NC there is C6 and Porsche 911 Turbo that are both unmarked cop cars...NC has been starting to sieze and transform cars into "racers" to catch street racers. Im not saying that NC or all the states haven't been doing this for years...but NC has really been getting strict on it

I mean i watched a video with a cop who declared on the news that most departments would love to ...and i quote "Take your own car from you and let you see me driving it"

ahhh...gotta love the system

Those chargers just came into thier force 3 years ago

And seeing how budgets in every state are being cut...i dont see a fleet replacement soon

Anyways...they have already made a car for exclusivity

Its called the "Carbon E7"

Check it out...its gonna be mean and i think anyone will think twice about trying to outrun it.

Like i said...this car will not be sold to the public...after the car gets "old" they will destroy it.

The SS will outrun it in every department!

yeah, it doesn't look that great.

0 - 60 mph 6.5 seconds
Quarter Mile 14.5 seconds @ 98.0 mph
Top Speed 155 mph
Braking 60-0 mph 125 feet
Lateral Acceleration 0.85 g
Horsepower 300 bhp

I bet it handles like a track beast though.
