Here in CT the state police do have Dodge Intrepids in thier fleet although most of the cars are Crown Vics. I don't know what, if any, mods were done to the Intrepids mechanically from regular production.

As a side note, I believe one of the worst things GM did was to cancel the Caprice several years ago without having a replacement available. This basically gave Ford the whole police and taxi business. It's true the new Impala is being used by some departments but it doesn't match up to what the Caprice (older Impala) was.

(and for the record, I do own a Caprice...........an '87 9 pass wagon, 167,200 on the odo)

I have seen unmarked Intrepids around where I live, and the cheif runs an unmarked Taurus. In Mass. I've heard that the highway patrol has been started to use 'Stang 5.0s on the highway. I've even heard rumors that a PD in the midwest got a Ferrari to keep up on the highways there. Maybe we'll be seing a 300M cruiser, that'd be sweet.

Fairfax County has some Corvettes with the LZ1 (or whatever that big engine is). Those things can move.

there are a couple camaros around here. havent seen one pull anyoneover yet. ( i think the cops just enjoy driving fast and dont bother catching anyone. well unless they get passed i guess )
oh and this thread is drifting off topic..
