"The Boxster has 2 trunks which allows us to stash all of our police stuff" Officer Nowwegotcha was quoted as saying. "

Well Clay,

Gotta remember that bankrupt Kalifornia as Ahrnold puts it will suffer more using the Boxster over the Camaro when the service and annual maintainance bills for the CHIP fleet start coming in. I know I dread the service visits especially now trhat warrentee is over.

That's a hoax, it's gotta be. There is no way they would ever use a convertible for a pursuit vehicle. It's not considered a safe vehicle and they are very strict about safety.

I think the line that got me was the one about the camaros not being fully usable without a mullet.

btw, though, wouldn't it be nice to be able to buy Boxsters at used police auctions?

And, most dept. won't even consider vehicles that haven't been through the Michigan state police testing program - its the benchmark.

You know what you will start seeing? Dodge Magnum police vehicles. Seriously, already seeing them in service in a few locales. I also saw a manufacturer plates mockup of the Dodge Charger police version. Its coming too, looks mean as shit. It seems logical that they'd offer the 425hp hemi out of the SRT-8 as a pursuit motor.

If they test cop cars in Detroit and the cars survive, I can understand why everyone would want to use them. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chairfall.gif) If you can survive Detroit, you can survive anywhere.

Maybe the US Military should use Detroit to test combat vehicles?

Hey Clay,

I didn't know you once lived in Detroit???? It's one tough city. I wore a T-Shirt "I am from Detroit" the last time I visited Florida. Everyone walked on the opposite side of the street when I was there. You get instant respect if they think your from Detroit.

I never lived there. My father worked for GM for 25 years. He had friends that lived in the suburbs of Detroit (I don't remember where). As visitors to the city, we were given the lecture on where NOT to go in Detroit. Even GM had info available on where to stay.


We got lost one time and my dad ran a bunch of lights to get out of a really bad section of town. The cop following him never even turned on his lights until we were in a safer part of town. He didn't get a ticket, he got a lecuture on traveling thorugh that part of town with out of state plates. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

Nah...

I just saw a CHP painted Boxster on Sunday at the Stanford Concourse.

At first I thought maybe Chris Murphy was showing off his track car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) but then I saw it was the 'real deal'.

The officer told me it just just a PR thing. He says the Cameros are still the only patrol duty sports car in use.

Spose that could change... Fear the coming of the Caymen?

I guess they're only gonna arrest pansies and females, 'cause they're gonna have to sit on their laps for transport.

When did the 150 mph Mustangs go away?

I used to own one of those (ex CHP). Greatest car I have ever owned or driven. Nice solid ridiculously fast car.

'85?

I guess the Camaros really aren't good pursuit vehicles. Sending them back to Chevy every week for service can get expensive...

CHP has some real cool/fast cars to choose from now. New Mustang, GTO or the Dodge Charger

Warning....this thread started by a envious Texan, where the DPS thinks a used '63 Impala is a class pursuit car (after their horse of course) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
