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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

.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.

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 ****! 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.

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.
