118 was the best I could ever do .... '06 vic slick top.

We had an old '91 in the fleet when I was still in patrol. It seemed faster, but the speedo quit working long before it made to being a pool car.

I did have the opportunity to drive a few of the new chargers ..... didn't like them. Too cramped of an interior, especially with a cage in em. Again, DPD ordered most of the fleet w/V6 power .... junk!

teaneck and hackensack got new chargers , look like lumina sized
the caprice bids are too high , I bet

[ls7gto]

my brothers K-9 rig is a charger, he loves the power over the CV he had before. He really wants a Tahoe , says they are rockets and work well with the pups. ( he has 2 , they both have different uses ).

Yea these were good runners for their time, but don't try to transport anything bigger than a big gulp in it!

[ls7gto]

Maybe if it was a 4 dr ....LOL

You know, a 4 door '63 turbo Diesel might just be the ticket!

or this thing, the a-hole driving it packs a model 29 S&W boomstick anti-bad guy thingy (make my day) and okay, I know, there were two boom thingies in those movies. One to BOOM, the other to look scary.

Okay part two - does this look like it has room for a 325/50x15? I'm pretty sure they'll fit in the back of Buforzilla.

I was just wondering how a hot rodded LC9 four door Caprice would do against a similarly hot rodded four door M-body; you know maybe road course, drag strip, skidpad, slalom, ect. Heck, if only there was just some way to find out, that would be interesting to me. Uhm, yeah, reading about Brians sweet new machine just got me wondering.

2004 Lt1 caprice was a great LEO car ..the tahoes are faster than those too
the Z28s the NYSP ran ..may have been the greatest cop car of all time

Seems to be the Taconic parkway north of 84

I would rather have one of these

I got pulled over by one of these, Nebraska State Police, 87 mph in a 55......in driver's ed. My driving instructor and gym teacher, Mr Muma got his ass chewed by the cop. The reason I only got B's in gym.

Back then, they had supercharged pursuit specials. They were easy to spot because the cop wore a motor patrol helmet and the car had a roll bar.
