Lahore Police Tow Technique

By Michael Berenis

Tampa Sports Car Examiner

In the land of Lahore, police use their own legs as a tow medium to push a disabled vehicle to rescue.  Officer T. Reestumps did a great job at rescuing the stranded vehicle and should be rewarded for putting in the legwork.  If there happened to be an abrupt stop, (imagination goes here).

Rent-A-Cop Vs. Burnout Bandit

By Michael Berenis

Tampa Sports Car Examiner

Using the 5.0 version of the Fox body Mercury Capri, the burnout bandit quickly meets his demise as an over authoritative rent-a-cop shuts down his tire roasting escapade. I would have loved to see the expression on the pseudo police officer’s face when he caught this guy ripping up his pristine parking lot. Read more about the treachery at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

New Taurus Cop Car

By David Clarke

highspeedhijinks

For the last several decades the Ford Crown Victoria has ruled the roost when it came to police-issued transportation. The only thing more antiquated than the 33-year-old “Panther” chassis it ran on might be the horses used by mounted police. So needless to say, this platform was long overdue for an upgrade. With more powerful and fuel-friendly competition out there already in the from of the Dodge Charger and Chevrolet Impala, Ford found it necessary to bring out their big new shiny gun: as of 2012, the Taurus will be the vehicle of choice for Ford’s Police Interceptor program. The base model police package will use the 3.5L v6 that puts out a respectable 263hp and 250lbft of torque. The pursuit vehicle, on the other hand, will be rocking all-wheel drive and the 365hp twin-turbo Eco Boost 3.5 found in the SHO.  Beefed-up brakes, a recalibrated stability control system, and doors that swing 10 degrees wider are just a few of the amenities Ford included to make the Taurus more police friendly. See more pics below the jump.

Tough Camaro Cop Car

By Jen Dunnaway

Editor

There’ve been 2010 Camaro police car concepts and renderings circulating around pretty much as long as there’s been 2010 Camaros, but this is apparently the first sighting of a marked and legitimate one in the wild. Rather than just slap on the usual lightbars and decals, the Haltom City Police Department in Texas treated themselves to a custom build by Classic Chevrolet for their new Camaro SS patrol car, with subtly-integrated LED lighting throughout, including the stealth row of blues behind the grille. Seems a little decadent, but I guess there’s worse ways to dispose of taxpayers’ dollars! See more at Jalopnik.
