Bloody Cops What Dont They Get?

[Scott12AT7]

One of my mates was getting his car inspected over the pitts to clear a defect (or 18) in Adelaide, when what should he see roll over the pitts? A BLOWN 5.7l VX cop car that was going to be used as their persuit vehicle!

I saw the white ACT WRX car at Capital Subaru a few weeks back being prepared for delivery. Didn't have the lights on the roof tho.

Apparently the coppers have nicknamed it "Sexy Rexy" (1 out of 10 for taste and originality). Chances are it's an auto so your average plod can drive it.

I agree with LJ03L, it will probably be written off like the Volvo wagon they had a few years back (while chasing a stolen WRX).

I seem to recall about 7 years ago when I was in the Gold coast I pulled up in a servo and there was a cop car with what looked to be a 671 blower sticking out of the bonnet.

i just think when the police get expensive cars as patrol cars, it is a total waste of tax payers money. I suppose in this case the car was not paid for by tax payers but it still irritates me...i think it is totally unecessary and pointless.

Jealousy!

Wouldn't a blown V8 with well over 300kw be too powerful for pursuits? The cops'd just be sitting still spinning the wheels, or losing it on every corner..

bugger all compared to one of us having it

I'm more worried about the worked XR8 that the cops here in Canberra have than that WRX!!

Its a red one, IIRC it has the optional bodykit bits on it as well. And no police markings!

Wasnt there already an unmarked blue WRX going around here anyway? A mate of mine saw one screaming along with lights flashing...

Here are some pics of the AFP MY02 WRX

It was strapping it through the roundabouts at braddon last friday and ive seen it blocking traffic around near my house.

*note the clear lights on top someone else was going on about*
