I know there was a posting like this recently but I couldn't find it to add this to it.

"In 2002, the Camaro B4C special service package was only available with a four-speed automatic transmission. Don't think that makes it any less potent. The Camaro impresses with the same subtlety as editor Oldham after a day-old plate of huevos rancheros. It hit 60 in 5.69 seconds, zipped through the quarter mile in 14.14 seconds at 102.48 mph and only stopped accelerating when GM's lawyers hit the electronic off switch at 159 mph. "

Also said many police departments are looking into having Hummers in the stable. Those are 0-60 20 seconds, 1/4 mile 22 sec at 61.8

I think I read that magazine off the shelf.

Didnt it also say the police interceptor goes 0-60 in 9+ seconds?
And all this time I thought they were decently fast.

Information like that should be followed by a warning like:
May cause stupid decision making skills in the spur of the moment

Yeah...cuz our tax-funded departments need an over-priced, fuel slurping, military grade vehicle.
Around here, where the sheriff's department has to go up mountains, through the desert, and across dry river beds, they do it in broncos and blazers, and those are more than enough vehicle to handle their needs. I doubt there are many police departments out there that go through more severe terrain.

How sad is it when the 0-60 time and quarter-mile time converge like that?

They are getting HUGE tax breaks for using SUVs. Most companies are getting monster breaksfor using them asfleet vehicles.

I think it was included in Bush's tax cut.....

True for companies, but since police departments spend taxes rather than pay them, I don't think that's the motivation for them :-)

Turbite you read my mind. Seriously.
I think I might be more likely to run if they didn't catch the plates.
That previous thought scares me.
