Had a friend who is an officer send this article link to me, and figured most here would like to see it too. Pretty short article, but it does include a video that shows the strobes working on the Mustang.

I was stopped a little over a month ago in Louisville, KY by a Kentucky State Trooper, and after giving me several compliments on my car, he had told me that his department had put in an order for 6 of them. Seems like a lot of departments are starting to use them, so I wonder if Ford will ever do another Interceptor Package on the Mustang?

 

I think I've seen that before. It says the 05 is only used by one other department in the country so you know it isnt a new story.

still cool though.

 

That and the date of the story is 2/3/2005.

 

Great article and video. I'm not a gearhead so that really puts how fast this car is into perspective.

I like how they pretend that it will not be used as an undercover cop car to surprise law breakers who might like to hold the accelerator a little too much. How far ahead of a chase would you have to get to have time to stop, jump out of the car and throw down spike strips? Sounds like that would be the most dangerous part of the chase. :cop2: :cop:

 

Could be the return of the LX

 

I've seen that car in person. It made me do a double take, they have had it for some time.

 

wait? this car is faster than most police cruisers? so if im being chased, theoretically of course, i can outrun a cop car?

 

Great just what I needed to hear.. 6 GT Mustang's all on patrol in the state of Kentucky. :S

 

I thought it was a bit weird how they make it sound like that. Not exactly the type of message that you want to send out.

 

or you could blow by one at 140 and wait almost 2 minutes for them to catch up :hiding:

 

Makes me wish I was a cop! How cool would it be if you could drive a mustang cop car??!!

 

I have heard that in FLorida they have one or two 05 Mustang Police cars unmarked! I heard that some one pulled up next to one, wanted to race the Mustang, gunned it , then the policeman came up behind him and gave him a ticket. I guess that just goes to show ya you should never try to race an 05 Mustang because it could be an unmarked police car.

Talk about a bad surprise, that would certainly ruin your day. I could see some guy in a Honda , thinking oh yeah I beat this 05 Mustang, then the smile quickly turns into shock and horror, as he see's flashing blue lights on the Mustang he just thought he beat.
