Too bad that GT was nothing more than a 'whacker' with a fancy paint job on his personally owned vehicle. Obviously not police and no selferespecting law enforcement officer is gonna make videos of street racing and post them on the net for the entire world to see. And anyone who thinks that guys is for real - po-lice - needs their eyeballs checked.
It's just some as-shole who put some ridiculous stickers on his once was cool Ford GT and think's he's a fugitive recovery agenct. Thats funny because Dog the bounty hunder calls his ridiculous white trash crew the same things.
Its bad enough I flinch when I see a silver, black or white charger on the hwy not I have to worry about Challengers! lol (I have no front plate either)
It was donated to DPS by mario williams so again, no tax dollars spent. It is used for promotional stuff and recruiting. Mario also donated some Camaros and Chargers to Houston Police dept. and those are used for regular enforcement roles.
The local Po-Po uses dodge Charger R/T's for there cars now. They ditched the Crown Vics for the Mopar. They look real cool and I need to get some pics for the site. And the cars stick out. You can see the Black Charger coming down the road for a good 1/2 mile or so depending on your sight. Also, Brevard County uses Challenger SRT8's for their cars. I guess the paddy wagon comes out to get people arrested.
Around N. VA you'll find Chargers, marked and unmarked, local and state. I don't recall which local city, but back in the 80's/early90's either Fairfax City or City of Falls Church, VA used Volvos for their patrol cars.
Actually talked to a cop tonight at the bar, they had to get rid of the two new Chargers they had out on patrol because the radiators blew up hahahaha.
I joined this site just to answer the question. I'm not sure how many of these are in the state but, there is one exactly like this in my neighborhood. He patrols IH 10 between San Antonio and Seguin. He lives in Cibolo/Schertz Tx. He lives a few blocks away from me.
Would anyone know anything about the wheels on that troop car, e.g. are they factory, aftermarket, powdercoated?
The reason I ask is because I have been looking high and low for wheels like that for my 2012 SRT and those would obviously fit over the Brembo brake cylinders.
I don't know if that car was purchased/leased from a dealer, confiscated through criminal proceeds, or what, but I need to find out about those wheels.
