I have friends that are in the fire academy and they share the same building with the police academy. They told me those car just set there. These cars are most likely going to be used at police EVENTS and never on the street.

Over here where I live my town confiscated a red WS6 to use as a police car. I asked the officer how they took the car and she (yes female) told me that the owner was pulled over and they searched the car. Found drugs and took the car. She says when that happens the car must 1st goto auction and the money made goes to the state. If the car does not get sold then the police station can claim the car as there own.
The kick in the *** also was that the drugs found in the WS6 was the passengers and he stuffed it in the car. But that does not matter in IL, the owner always takes fault.

Thats a pretty damn nice cobra 
.
When I was in massachusetts, I saw a mustang GT (99-04) that was a undercover police officer pulling over a car on the Mass Pike. It was pretty funny. I'm not going to lie. The handa civic rolls up, matched his speed, and then does a "ricer flyby" past the officer, probibly getting up to a speed of 85mph.. Then the cop turns on his lights and procedes to pull him over. I was in the right hand lane and the cop was 2 cars in front of me.
I had no clue that it was a police officer until I saw the lights go on in the back window.. Then I started laughing pretty hard.
I'm pretty sure that the car was taken from a street racer, since it didnt look stock and sounded pretty nice as the cop passed me in the passing lane.

Wow, just WOW!! I would be ******* pissed if that happened to.
Sucks that they can do that, but like it was explained before in post #20, it is attained through legal avenues. I would think they would use it maybe once a month or less. Slao, last thing, that cop was a ***** and was trying TOO hard to show off for the camera, and just ended up struttering like a tard.

The motto here is, don't street race and or have friends that are crack heads......
They have a few SRT cars, Mustangs, and LS1 cars here, not to mention plain jane jeeps and trucks.
Something does tell me that those cars did not have tens of thousands in them and I don't think North Carolina has a lot of laws on what you can't have. Not like its California were you pretty much have to have a stock car so I am not seeing how they pulled all this stuff off of it......... also can't see them spending tax dollars to get it on the dyno to prove the power claims....

I thought it was illegal for them to instigate a street race. So Im guessing that they are just using these to do normal traffic stops and also use them as undercover so that speeders don't slow down when they see them.
Anyways, that would suck to have your car taken away. Thats why im out of the fast car scene and into old English cars that have like 60hp.LOL

We used to have a city cop here who drove an unmarked white 5.0 who would instagate street races.....he wore his uniform, so only the idiots or those who didn't pay attention ran him. Happily, he totaled out the 5.0, wasn't hurt, but no more intraptment for him.Our SHP now has several different colors of Chargers, some base, some 5.7s, but all over 4500lbs with all the equipment.But at least they don't instagate and then pull you over.Hopefully, with the formation of the new dragstrip near Lowes Motor Speedway, those street racers will be smart and keep it on the strip rather than lose their cars to the bacon patrol.

They just want to blend in, when you go to race and look in your rear view you look for cops, you would not suspect a blue mustang in a pack of others.......
