    My take on this, if the car club websites are to be believed, is that these flash cop cars are mainly for promotional purposes. They help with recruitment drives, charity work, publicity etc.

    Very rarely are they used for traffic work. The operating and liability costs are too high. I remember reading that a Gallardo costs more to own and run than a Robinson chopper.

    In Europe BMW seems to have cornered the market in pursuit vehicles 540s M5s M3s and the like and the cops seem to do just fine with those.

    A faster police car = faster chase = more deaths and crashes.

    Cops don't have the choice to make the chase you know. It's the runner's decision and police are the outcome (by-product) to follow.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
