    yes only as a chase car... it has to be functional.... what stops someone from being in the back and attacking the cop while he's driving? nothing cause its a 2 seater and the only way to get someone in the back of that car is to move the drivers seat therefore there is no way to build a wall to stop them...


    however you can put them in the trunk

    I personally think the Charger makes a pretty good police car. Hell the Magnum would be even better...extra large holding cell.

    Or an STi

    They use SAABs in Aspen, Colorado.

    Commodores are four-door GTO's...and the Charger's doing well for now.

    I'm surprised DUPO still uses Grand Prixs...

    yeah the goat has more power but with only 2 doors, it isn't very practical. The chargers are nice, could probably use a little more power to keep up with some of the cars on here, but are very aggressive looking. I saw somewhere they were thinking about making a H2 hummer as a police vehicle, but it ran somewhere around a 20 second 1/4 mile and gave them 10 mpg so they dropped it

    Back to the GTO though, there are Camaro SS state patrol with 2 doors, so why not have a GTO over here as one. More power and is probably built a little stronger than the Camaro

    Doraville always gets the bad-ass cop cars.

    Other districts had Caprices, Doraville had Impala SSs...others had Crown Vics...Doraville had Marauders.

    I bet they get the SRT-8...haha.

    I've seen that one! A Charger, right? Hmmm...

    Alright, check this one out...

    By the way...I'd **** my pants if I saw that Mustang cop car in my rear-view.

    Brabus Rocket...

    SON OF A *****...

    There's no running from that one...at least, until it runs out of fuel.

    Oh wait...is that one limited to 155 too?

    The H2 looks like a ****ing joke. Looks like something ol' W would promote back home, near "the ranch".

    It'd be all fun and games until he ran over a rock, got 4 mpg, dented his ridiculous wheels, and flipped that heap of **** into a ditch. Then some other asshole in an H1 would climb atop the corpse of his stupid H2, activate his line locks, and start burning out on the underside of the former Tonka Truck.

    The Brabus on the other hand...

    Yea, I'm really curious to see how it feels to go from 70 - 120 with the same force as it takes to go from 0 - 60.

    They do. It's called the G8. Coming to a dealer near you in a few months.

    It's not a GTO but is very similar and has 4 door and a potent rwd LS based drvetrain in it.
