Wink Cobalt as Cop Car?

I saw a cobalt cop car today! I heard on these forums about a Cobalt SS cop car, but this one looked like an LT. Had some one pulled over too! Didn't get a great look at it so I *might* be mistaken.
It was black

Most police departments have a helicopter or one they can call in, so try out running one of those

We have chargers, crown vics, F-250's, new tahoes and expeditions. Nothing cool my town still runs a 98 expedition as one of their rigs. Sounds like its going to die.

There's a couple of locals by me that are true evil undercover cars. One's a 92-93 Daytona, a dusty blue. And the town next door has a Charger, but the thing's the LX, with all the grandpa trim on it, and its a garnet-red.

I remember seeing the NY State cops driving a marked Porche 944; apparently they got it from a drug bust, so they turned it into a DARE car, and used it for the occasional highway patrol.

Chances are, if you're not in a large city and you're in a perforamnce car, you can outrun the LEO before the helicopter is even in the air.

I'm not promoting running, nor have I ever done it (To my knowledge), but it's not as hard as some make it out to be. It's just very costly if you fail.


On Topic: We just have Impala LT's, Charger R/T's, Crown Vic's, and Tahoe's. Metro-Detroit has 1 Shelby GT500 though that they use for highway patrol.

Years back the Mass Cops had a 2 door Caddy that the were testing out on the Mass Pike. Had it a couple of years out there. Nice looking red one. Bet the made a lot of money with it.

We have crown vics, chargers, 05-07 mustang, undercover jeep cherokee, undercover dodge minivan(yes I'm being serious lol). My mom works in Tysons Corner and down there they have pickups (I believe one is made out to look like a work truck with piperacks and a toolbox).

The point he was trying to make is you cant outrun a police radio he wasnt talking about the heli. Theyd have that area and surrounding area swamped in no time. And if you did youd never be able to.drive the car around that area again and if it has onstar your screwed. So cobalt is enough.
