Check with your local drag strip to see if they have a "Beat the Heat" event. They used to do it in Florida where you could drag race your car against a local cop in his cruiser and see who finished first.

Ran are these officially sanctioned events? Ive never heard of such. Seems the taxpayers would not like the idea of city or county Police or Sheriff equipment being abused at the local dragstrip for non-emergency situations.

Eh, I'm sure it'd be some kind of charity something-or-other.

I'm pretty sure that alot of the money and registration fees went to charities, but I can't remember. Either way, these were real cops in real patrol cars. Whether the cars had been retired from service or not, I couldn't tell you honestly.

I've heared of things like this also, either being a publicity campagn to keep racing off the street or for charities.

My fiend's mom bought a Crown Vic way back that was supposed to have been an unmarked police cruiser. A new sales guy screwed up and sold it to her. They tried to get it back, but the paperwork had already been processed and his mom wouldn't let it go. I think the salesman got canned for that little mistake. Matt said that thing will seriously haul @ss!

Any Crown Vic will haul @ss! One toe on the accelerator & you're doing 95mph! Great to drive, Biatch to park!
