Where was it? State or county cop? I've noticed that VA troopers are getting real creative with the undercover cars. I always look for antenae on cars. Was it stock looking or not?

or if your here in FL, you also have to watch out for 2x 750rwhp Z28's that hte highway patrol uses. They came out to a "race the cops" night late last year down at a local drag strip. The things had a full direct port nitrous system installed!

Cops in my township just got a new Charger R/T. Its all black with some serious (illegal) tint. 20" chrome rims and a ton of power. There are no antennas and the car is actually pretty hot. Fooled me. I never woulda known it was a cop car if it wasnt pulling somebody over...

Get Pre-Paid Legal. Will take care of all your ticket problems. No fines, no school, no court.

Here in IL I saw a bunch of Chargers used by the Schaumberg and Barrington Police. Down south a bit in Decatur, they are working a couple "prototype" undercover Mustang GTs. I say prototype because they look any clean tuner mustang GT, but inside they are loaded with enough brand new tech to make your head spin. Brand new high-tech photo/video cameras. Aside from the usual laptop, a few extra monitors with instant updated info. The car is connected with wireless to the station. Everything is set up to run on voice commands. So if the cop is in a chase they can command the camera to take a picture of say the license plate of the car. That will instantly be uploaded to the station and checked across a database. The results are then printed on a monitor inside the car. Lights are hidden VERY well behind a black grill. Impossible to see until they are flashing.

Hell, even just regular Crownies they drive look stock when they have the LED light bar on the top. Almost impossible to spot them now.

Yeah, Anne Arudel has plain Crownies with absolutely nothing on them and a few with low LED light bars. There was one behind me yesterday that had LEDs in the grille, bottom and top of the windshield, and when he passed me.........2 red and blues in the top corners of the rear windshield and one long one with 4 sets of red and blues on the bottom of the rear windshield................I guess he wants to be seen...........haha

All the unmarked crownies are easy to spot here. They generally have the spotlights, and 2 - 3 antennas in the back. Even if you cant see anything else, they have those antenna

Yes!!! Go Italy....... I saw this on some video website a while ago. The car is rediculous and faster than stock, obviously. It's got all police radios inside and a safety kit in the rear. They use this car mainly for fast response. That's awesome. The Lambo gets to the scene before any other rescue vehicle. I would love to see this baby in my rear view flashing it's lights.
