The Purdue University Police Department has a Trans Am as a patrol car. Saw it all the time when I went there. Mike Alsop of Team #09 on SpikeTV's Bullrun is the general manager of Mike Raisor Pontiac in Lafayette, IN and they donated the car to the department. It is a sweet ride.

Check it out.

I was pulled over by one.....highway patrol, except it was a camaro.
I was doing 110 and he came flying up on me outta the darkness at 3AM.
There was no one else out on the highway but him; pulled over with lights off. I was honest with him, and believe it or not he let me go on a warning!!

Am I the only one pissed that tax $ is used for what is more or less a visual upgrade? If it's the trooper's car or a drug car or something that a totally different story. As cool as the car is, it seems a total waste of $ as a stripper Formula would have done just as well. If people want to spend their $ on that, that's fine, I bought an SS. But if the state is doing it I wouldn't be too happy.

I had thought that in the past, but they make the extra money back on resale. They might buy a 'vic for 20k new then sell it for 5k once its out of service. They might buy a LS1 car for 25k+ but then sell it for 10k when its out of service. So it kinda comes out even in the end.

I read an article on the Camaro here that said that just about all upgrades were supplied by sponsors for free in exchange for advertising on the car.

I'm a student at purdue too and I can say, that WS6 patrol car looks very cool. Apparently at one point their drivers side headlight motor didn't work as you can see down below, but when I saw it this last semester it was fine. Nice car though.... Black/Gold looks cool on it
