    So the Aust. Gov't is able to justify spending tax payer money to provide cops with hotrods...

    quoting from url posted by Mike above:
    Officers primarily use the V8-powered machine for public relations purposes. The car is often displayed at events including V8 Supercars and drag race meetings.

    Police in Sydney have used a range of cars for PR purposes including a Porsche Panamera, Lotus Exige and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.


    NSW highway patrol has been criticised in the past for ordering high-performance versions of local sedans that cost more than regular V8 or turbocharged models.
    Lol, they use those hotrods for PR exercises... do the ticket-writers really think they can endear the public...?

    And they have time to do PR exercises instead of chasing real crims...?

    You guys missed the recent drama when there was a rumour about the Holden GTS SC Highway car expiring as well

    I tend to keep my head down, so I miss a lot of stuff (or it misses me)... here in US we don't see much non-US impacting news.
