Default I am surprised I saw this

I was sitting at Chick Fil A when a C6 Z06 pulls up next to me. The first thing I noticed was the black as night tint on the windows since NC law limits tint to 35% and NC residents have to pass a yearly inspection. Then, a Sheriff's Deputy hops out of the car. It was a POLICE CAR!!!!! I then saw a 12 or so inch wide strip of black tint across the top of the windshield, I'm assuming they are hiding lights there. I wonder how many cars have been busted trying to race this guy.

I over heard a sheriff mentioning that they have Shelby Mustang in the stable ready to patrol the highway and country road around wake county NC. The cop also told that they are not sure if the car will be on patrol?

Ive seen an unmarked shelby that had a viper pulled over about a month back in the charlotte area. About the same setup as the vette. Blacked out windows and all. The camaro thats in monroe nc is the same way. All the lights are on the interior and with the windows being all but blacked out theyre impossible to see

There is a Cop that drives a completely unmarked mustang around where I live that is set up the same as the corvette to get people to race him. Every time we see him he is flying around town going twice the speed limit!

The moral of this thread is DO NOT speed in NC ... I have noticed a whole host of unmarked NC trooper cars travelling throughout NC over the years!

Glad I noticed this thread. Two days ago I was cruising 77 south thru Charlotte coming home from dinner. I was 80+ most of the way thru town with the cutout open. (55 zone) I have been lucky.

Don't surprise me. Here in Rutherford County, we have what's called the "Criminal Interdiction" team and they supply all of there stuff off of drug money they seize and what not. May be the same for the guy in the C6 ZO6. Only thing that gets me around here is in one of our "city" departments, there's two Mustangs that's fully marked, all the rest are either Chargers, Caprices or blacked out SUV's.
