Default I hate cops

So today i go to my dads work and they have an impala there. well it had the ss wheels on it but no ss emblems or anything. It had light bars on it so i went to check it out. Then i see the ss on the steering wheels and on the headrests. I hate cops! seriously!

Heres a quick video of the car from my iphone so its not the best

Impala would make a perfect unmarked - the major majority of people who drive them are 30+, and I would bet a good number are 50 to retired. Plus the 3.9 is faster than the Crown Vic's V8. Don't know why they would chose the V8 with it's durability issues and gas mileage.

Besides, you can't stealth out a Police Interceptor. Your area has a history of using cars like the Z28 on the highway.

No reason to hate cops.

It even has the non-SS chrome trunk bar.

Did you happen to check out what's under the hood?

That's an SS instrument cluster, too. It looks like an SS without the exterior enhancements...My kind of car!

I'm surprised we don't have them in SoCal. Going back 20 years, we've had CHP 5.0 Mustangs, LS1 Camaros, and the Los Angeles FBI chapter even had a pair of Grand Nationals back in the late 80's.

This would be a neat fit.

People have their reasons for making visual "enhancements."

It's not an LS4 until you've seen the engine.

EDIT: So hurry and find out so we can turn that 99 into 100.

Freaking doubtful. There are no factory "beef-up" parts for the LS4's 4T65-HD. We already have the strongest available version of that transmission.

I think the 3.9 liter law-enforcement units get a stronger version of the stock V6 transmission, but I'm not certain if it's even an HD.

My town has an unmarked Challenger R/T. I tried to get him to run when he first got it, good thing I wasn't aggressive in trying to get a bite lol

There's also a couple Impala SS's also, but they're in some drug squad, not regular officers.

Catching that guy doing 20 over on an empty road is WAY more important than catching violent criminals...
