Wow!

Other traffic police forces which cannot boast a Lamborghini resort to devices of their own against speeders: in Russia, for example, officers have been known to shoot out the tyres of offenders with machine-guns.

Note to self: When in Russia, DO NOT SPEED!

WTF is up with the fake stick?

While it's cool. I'd rather have a Steeda Mustang.

To take a mustang over that, even an aftermarket steeda, would be ludacris. It really can't compare.

Maybe in looks, but in performance it's just not as good.

[Cyanide]

That's pretty cool

I'd still rather have a McLaren F1.

I would prefer the Saleen (I changed my mind) for 2 primary reasons.
A. it costs less (about $120,000 less)
B.I can still alter it to make it even faster without having to sell my left nut to science

Lambrogini performance
Top Speed 309 kph / 192.0 mph 0 - 60 mph 4.1 seconds
0 - � mile 12.2 seconds 0 - 100 mph 9.0 seconds
Lateral Acceleration Not Available EPA City/Hwy 14 mpg

Mustang Saleen S281
0-60 mph: 4.4 sec
0-100 mph: 10.4 sec
Quarter Mile: 12.5 sec @ 111 mph
Skidpad: .95g
Top Speed: 160 mph
Braking, 60-0 mph: 109 ft
Slalom Speed: 68.7 mph

overall the lamborgini is faster but not by much (Well top speed has a big difference but I doubt you would hit it often)

i need to join the Italian Police force

I'm not surprised. I've seen a two Lamborghinis from Santa Fe down here in Albuquerque. I wonder if they're just coming to get our cheaper premium gas.

Normally I'm not a fan of Lamborghinis, but the Gallardo is indeed a very nice car. The design is like a futuristic Ferrari 512, which is probably the reason I like it (big Ferrari fan). Anyway, I wouldn't complain if someone gave it to me, but I would rather have a Ferrari or the Infiniti M45 concept:

About a year ago, my local police force got a few BMW M5s... one of them got crashed at a roundabout :p

Anyway, what would I have?

This!

2005 Ford Mustang GT-R concept :) (If it goes into production that is)
Screw all the new shaped mustangs, I like the older style ('78 Fastback :drools: ), this is the closest you get to them now without hunting around, whilst performence is up to modern standards :)

[UncleDynamite]

The orange Lotus Esprit is pretty awesome. The only cool cop cars our city has are souped-up Camaros, which really aren't that cool. Anyway, the 2005 Mustang GTR is sweet. And since we're on the topic of tricked-out cars, I found another nice Infiniti:

Nice, but the grille looks tacky, makes it look round and happy.... I like agressive looking cars :D

[UncleDynamite]

I agree with you on the front grille; they really should have kept the original.

Anyway, I found some more Mustang GTR pics... :eek:

Around here the state police sport Mustang Cobras in some areas

[Dharkbayne]

Our cops have some shitty Dodge Neon or something.

[Corrosion]

All of LA's cops have Crown Victorias.

[Ouroboros]

That car is going to kill itself if it ever needed to go into rough terrain.

[JetRaiden]

the gallardo is a great car, but it still has the aging lamborghini design thats been around since the early diablos. lamborghini needs to really redo their standards.
