Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles

^ I remember back in the '70s where the Newhall, CA CHP office had a Z28 to use for pursuit on the Grapevine (5 freeway between Newhall and Bakersfield). I knew some guys who tried to outrun them, but Motorola is hard to outrun. Those mid-'70s Chrysler 400s were some real dogs, and had to have the muffler removed to get above about 110 on the freeway. That Z28 was the real deal for catching speeders. I got 143 MPH out of my '69 Camaro, but they could beat that...big ticket time.
