Hopefully someone didn't know how tune it and that **** will blow up while there winding it out. No cops should be able to have cars like that in my opinion. They put others at risk while using something they are not familiar with. Just my.02

Maybe he has one of his own at his house. I hope you don't think that cops don't have toys to destress themselves. Not trying to pick an argument, but why shouldn't we have something fast? The crown vic is a turd and a half lol.

I heard word that from the State Police all the way down to Plaquemines Parish, no pursuit of black vettes. Any officer dis-regarding this order will suffer the consequences.....no detail work, desk duty for 1 month, and NO DONUTS!

No I agree that some cops have toys at home. I have freinds that are cops that have fast cars personally ,but there set up for it as well. I highly doubt that vette has drag radials on it. As a vette owner myself I would hate to try to keep a supurcharged vette straight while going after someone in a high speed pursuit. In the cold you would busting the tires at like 90mph. Its just not safe in my opinion. I also take it your a cop so thank you for your service.

Are you serious? I know a decent amount of cops wit 11 and 10 sec street cars. I know a couple of kenner cops with some of those cars. Just because the cops you know or whatever might not be able to handle a charged c6 doesn't mean all can't. Just my.02

Ditto....I know several cops, and asst district attorney w/ 10 sec street cars. What the hell do people think? I suppose because people here drive fast cars......they would never be able to shoot a gun and hit something(I mean, that's cop-stuff)

No not saying that they can't handle it, but you know how many people say they can drive and handle something then there in a ditch with it. Im not saying that vettes are super uber fast, but they get sideways with ease and people can loose them easily. Anyone who has driven one can vouch for that.

Here a guy that thought he could street race his vette and thought he could handle it. Just saying were human and make mistakes.

Well, cops go through extensive drivers courses. If you factor that along with driving "everyday 11 to 10 sec street cars", cops are the better group of people to drive those cars. By the way, don't believe that stuff about the ."State police" not chasing, you'll get your feelings hurt and *** handed to you.

Thats really what it sounded like you were saying. Besides, I dont see most urban cities jus throwing some random rookie cop behind the wheel of a charged c6. Its prolly a veteren whos been threw his fair share of driving classes (i know classes aint everything) and knows a thing or 2 about being able to handle a car with that much power.
