Southern Members - 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.

holy crap that sneaky bastard

This is neat but i hate to see it in the wrong section!

I wasn't sure which section to put it in. Where should it go?

Man that would suck. My buddy had that happen to him and the cop was in a Porsche lol

I wasn't sure which section to put it in. Where should it go?

I would say racers lounge for the win! :nod:

my parents live in morrisville nc i am afraid to move down there for this reason lol

pretty cool, there are 3 cops in my area that have close to limo on all windows even the front, and those are there cars, i guess when your a cop ya can get away with it lol, so im going to do the same thing and see if i can get away with it, i should be able to pull it off, car is only driven on nice days/shows/track so i think i will be fine, thats a badass z

I wish i still had the pics but in monroe nc i saw a state trooper in a cyber gray 2012 same camaro ss. Same tint setup as this vette and no exterior lights or markings on it all the llight bars were on the inside. Had a guy in a early 2000 mustang pulled over prbably trying to race. Nc gots some sneaky basstards

Do you live in Raleigh NC? because this black ZO6 vette patrol the whole entire highway and byway around Wake County.This car was seize by the wake county sheriff from a drug dealer.I've seen this car in action and it's no JOKE for real.

If cops get to drive that then I wanna be a cop!!! :guns:
Oh wait... I'd hate to be the asshole busting people for racing :(

Id get em to race me. If i won id give em a ticket and if i lost id pull em over to shake their hand lol

my parents live in morrisville nc i am afraid to move down there for this reason lol

I lived in mooresville while i was in college. Cops there dont have shit like this. Theyre just complete assholes to anyone who has a nice car. They have crown vics, trailblazers, a few chargers and maybe one mustang

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!

Lol that sounds like every cop i know as far as driving twice the speed limit constantly. But the only higher end unmarked cars around here are the camaro the gt500 and a few new chargers all the mustangs in monroe are marked at least all the ones ive seen

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. :burn:

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.

So I was in Westland, MI last week and it was about midnight and I was coming home from a graduation party with my friends (no alcohol) and I pull up to a red light and a pewter color 98 z28 caught my eye. It was right next to me. My friends and I were all checking it out then we realized that under the door it said "Police" and we looked inside and saw the computer and everything.
Not sure if it was legit. Just thought I'd throw it in this thread and see if it was possible.

Here in NC, we used to have LS Camaro's for Highway Patrol cars but were short lived though. They got rid of them quicker than any other type car they've had. Guess they couldn't handle the power and went to the Chargers, haha.

NC has a sneaky police team. Here in Cary, I was having fun with a friend and was about to floor it from a stoplight when I noticed the hidden style cop lights....on a Hybrid Camry. Mentioned it to one of my police officer friends and it turns out it was a detective car.

Glad I turned and waited until the next light, lol.

haha damn po po

Crazy. Did y'all see the new ZR1 down here in Georgia? I tell ya, I'm fraud to go fast anymore. It was all fun and games when cops only had caprices, crown Vic's and 5.0 mustangs, but they truly are stepping up their game now!

In St. Gabriel, LA the cops bought an SS Camaro and had it tricked out by kingpin customs. Tiny little town used to have a street racing problem. Then they bought a faster car.

Bottom line ... the hobby needs more tracks and/or legal exhibition of speed events!

For sure, but no one seems to want a track in their backyard. Something to do with noise and not being able to sleep. We just need to take care of the tracks we have. With the way the sub urbs are expanding I don't see any new tracks in the future near me at least.

Very true and the same here in metro Atlanta ... I have three tracks within 2 hours, but they tend to only host T/O's on Friday nights. I would like to see more of these "parking lot drag events". I have not seen any around Atlanta, but I have seen a few on YouTube where they set up "K" rails and a temporary timing setup with a tree. Anyone actually seen one of these events setup in person?

They got rid of them because the seating was hard on the officers. Imagine sitting in your f-body with a duty belt on :eek2:.

My uncle is NCSHP. They all love the chargers so much more. Even though they grip about the transmissions. He also told me that alot of the officers wrecked them because they would lose the back end.

i had made a thread a couple yrs ago about this same thing, in charlotte i dont know if they still have it but they had a 06 GTO, 03 termi, 02 CETA, 01 SS, and a lightning. they are very sneaky, i was at a gas station when a bike tried playing with the termi and got a ticket.

heres a story on it..
http://www.corvetteblogger.com/2009/07/17/APB-PoPo-Driving-a-Confiscated-Corvette-Z06-in-Raleigh-NC/

We just got back last Saturday from a week long tour of Florida and saw a 2009+ F150 in Blue Flame Metallic, no markings, no light bar, no governent plate, but the front end was lit up with the most blue strobes I have ever seen. Luckily, I was not the unlucky motorist being pulled over. It was just north of Miami on Florida 821.

you guys are funny, yea the Zo6 is operated by a veteran Wake County Deputy. You guys would be amazed at the number of odd non crown vic police cars that are out there. I don't want to go into too many details but there are F250's, BMW X5's, 2010 Camaro's, new Maxima's a 2009 Range Rover HSE. They are confiscated and the dept. pays 20% of the tax value and usually uses the money seized from search warrants and US Marshalls Office who governs all vehicle seizures.
others on the list 05 GTO in Knightdale. You have to be carefull doing stupid stuff on the highway these days as it only takes one stupid decision to get your vehicle taken.

Don't start hating on me but there are heavy badged cops out there and they will seize the opportunity to seize your shit! I'm a hotrod guy so I don't mess with traffic violations. too much

Just FYI not all cops are complete A &^$$$, you do hav to understand it's not against state law for police to speed, they don't need to run lights and sirens to every call. Usually when people call 911 they want service asap well when dumb A's call about their children not behaving or the neighbor parked in front of the residence or the countless other dumb reasons for police to come intervein cops have to speed to get there without running code. Or when they are going back someone up if cops had to run lights and sirens for every call you would hear them every two minutes.

We all know there are those cool cops and dick head cops thats with every job in the world i think, you can either get a cool boss or the douche that thinks hes better than everyone. Ive met some of the coolest cops over the years but i have also met some of the biggest pricks, I had a cop pull me over on christmas morning because of my front license plate(in ct is required) not being screwed on the front of my 86 Iroc and i had it sticky taped on the corner of the windshield, he pulled it off and threw it on the ground and told me it was not acceptable and was very rude to all 3 passengers then gave me a ticket for missing my front tag. then ive had cops pull me over for "10 miles over" and ask to check out the car and end up chit chatting for 40+ minutes about cars. :cheers:

Yeah unfortunately there are a lot of DH cops, a lot of them grow old and are forced to stay on Patrol bc they are DH and it never helps them realize they are DH. I can tell you In my experience even the pos guys you bust all the time if you treat them with respect and you needed help a lot of them would so I just treat people the opposite that cops treated me in the past it's one reason I joined.

Z06 when I was driving home from Durham. Had someone pulled over, lights flashing and all. I must say that is one badddd ride. Hell of a job too if I might add haha
