View Full Version : Peel Police have a new car!!!
I saw a Dodge Charger police car over at Ninth Line between Eglinton & Brittania. Didn\'t have time to snap a pic and didn\'t really want to get pulled over for trying to take a picture while driving.
So Look Out!!!

I saw that last night!
There was some little girl that got hit by a car at some intersection in brampton, sandalwood and something. And there were like 4 cops, an ambulance and some other cars.
My friends and I were all SO SHOCKED to see that the cops are getting sneakier and sneakier!

Those police cars look awesome, saw the news article in the Star on Satursday. Pretty cool looking versus the old Crown Victoria they\'re replacing. I believe the most powerful engine that they have is stil just the Hemi V8s. Nothing special.
Anyone tried to out run the new cop cars. :p

the Grand Marquis have Corvette engines, because when I was in highschool the cop popped the hood for us to see and sure enough there was the two flags, and corvette on the engine.
Not sure what the Impalas are packing, still havent seen the charger but wont try to outrun him in the 3.

A friend told me there is an under cover cop driving around with an RSX modded on the street. He\'ll drive beside you and kind of make it look like he\'s going to race but instead he\'ll just call up to other cops and book you.

you have it the other way around.
The Ford Crown Victoria (not the Mercury Grand Marquis, same car, different marketing) has a 4.6L V8 putting out around 240hp/290tq at the crank. a variant of this engine is found in the Mustang, not the Chevy Corvette.
The Chevy Impalas back in the day (RWD, not the FWD version of today) had the LT1 5.7L V8 from the Corvette. The engine didn\'t have the Corvette engine covers, unless the cop that brought it to your school put the cover on for shits and giggles. The FWD Impalas have the regular 3.8L V6, which a 3 should be able to leave (until it hits the limiter).
Car and Driver compared the Crown Vic Police Interceptor with an \"off-the-shelf\" Crown Vic and the Police Interceptor was actually slower than the off-the-shelf/dealer-bought version. reason being, all the extra weight (i.e. front push bar, shield inside, etc), shitty aerodynamics with the light bar, etc.
If the police Chargers have the 345hp 5.7L HEMI, they may be hampered by the extra weight, but they are still quick nonetheless. A NA 3 will have no chance to outrun one, especially with the 188km/h speed limiter. a boosted 3 with no speed limiter may be able to leave a Charger. If it\'s the 6.1L SRT-8 HEMI, then don\'t even try.
some cars may be able to outrun a cop car, but you can\'t outrun a radio.

I had the benefit of seeing the Halton Region\'s line up of unmarked vehicles. it was a while a go (3-4 years) but from what I can recall:
Ford Crown Victorias (A lot of them)
Chevrolet Impalas (A lot of them)
Volvo S70 (A few, maybe 7-10)
Chrysler Intrepids (only a couple)
Ford Explorer (at least 10)
and believe it or not...
<2002 Honda Civic Sedan (1)
<2002 Honda Accord Sedan (1)
^^^ Both of these are stock vehicles used for normal traffic patrol. Outfitted with very well hidden lights (everything was strobes, built into an exisiting housing, headlight, tail light etc.) with the only exception of an LED flasher behind the rear view mirror. No light bar, no lights in the rear window. These cars were chosen because of the commonality on public roads and they aren\'t very suspicious looking.

My buddy got pulled over by an unmarked G35 cop car in Mtl and I\'ve been pulled over by a SRT10 (just got a warning ;) ) and back in Vancouver during my highschool days, I came across a lot of modded unmarked cop cars while I was stupid enough to go to illegal street races (this was way before the fast and furious days and import street racing was still an underground thing)

Word is on the street that they will be using Mopar SRTs. This being said, there may be an unmarked Viper GTS (think it\'s a \'98) in red, with phantom (ghost) lettering, more power, etc. The Charger is the beginning of using lots of power in the police cars.
This being said, I just made it from my place to mine (Bathurst/Steeles to New Westminster/Centre) in 30seconds, 265 km/h Viper GTS. As much as I like the Mazda products, I am majorly involved with Dodge.

When I was down in Georgia I saw a Camarro cop car and what looked like a Pontiac GTO.

I\'ve seen Camero RS\'s used by the Florida Highway Patrol.
London Ontario has a RSX... I think it\'s for a street racing safety program, not an actual patrol car though... but looks cool. haha

I saw the Dodge Charger this morning looking for speeders. This Accord was speeding behind me. All of a sudden, I saw the charger burst out onto the road and turn it\'s sirens on. That car is FAST!

I also saw an UNmarked Chrysler 300 the other day. I thought it was a Bentley at first. Whoops!
I was at the intersection of Derry and Mavis. I saw a couple of cops on motorcycles stopping traffic. Then out of nowhere, a good 20-30 more cops on motorcycles passed me, in a scattered mass, going west on Derry. Then I saw around 10 crown victorias, some unmarked, some marked, driving west on Derry. Then maybe 5 Tauruses (Tauri?), all unmarked. Then the unmarked Chrysler 300, surrounded by more cops on motorcycles. 15-20 more motorcycles passed the intersection and then the two cops who stopped the traffic went to follow the rest of the cop crowd.
It was the weirdest thing in the world.
Off topic: The cops are always doing weird things on Derry between Mississauga Road and Mavis and near Mavis and 407. I\'ve noticed them there in groups of 2-4 in unmarked and marked cop cars, on the side of the road, or driving. It happens in the mornings, and it kind of looks like they\'re training the other cops how to drive. This has been happening the past 3 years, during the summer, or at least from what I\'ve seen.

looks like Dodge is giving a big push to become a vehicle supplier to law enforcement.
Next we will see Ford 500\'s done up. Maybe Chevy Impalas

I think the fusion would be a better candidate than the 500? Mustang?

Typically, they don\'t teach the new cops to drive by taking them out onto public roads... There is a track for that at Ontario Police College, where they teach the recruits how to drive, and man, do they ever beat on those cars. The average lifespan of a training car at OPC is 3 months. It\'s a pretty cool track, I took a tour of the place with a good friend of mine who is a 4th Class Constable with York Regional Police.
But yeah, that does sound weird. I\'ve never seen anything like that in Toronto, although I did see the SWAT team barrel through an intersection in their Suburbans, fully armed to the teeth with shotgun and their helmets on and everything. These guys looked they were going to war. It was pretty cool.
There are quite a few different cars to look out for these days. Anything on the 300c platform is a possibility.

chevy Impala, I don\'t remember what year but the big ones that looked like the Chevrolet Caprice and it had a vette engine inside. I saw it on a show but don\'t think it made it here.
I don\'t think those impalas were used up here, they were just a domestic car. Nice though.
