How fast are state troopers

The Charger won when it came to stopping distance, with the ability to brake from 60 mph to a complete stop in When it comes to top speed, it's another story. Now the Caprice is the winner, topping out at mph, followed by the Charger and Taurus at mph.

Ford is the biggest seller of police vehicles among Detroit's Big 3 automakers, with some six out of 10 vehicles going to departments. The best-selling police vehicle of any type is the cop version of the Ford Explorer, which is rated for police pursuits.

But it isn't as quick as Ford's sedan. This car would appear to be our over-under proposition. At horsepower, the GTI is down a full horses on the Charger. Will that be enough to outrun Johnny Law? Beyond the first two corners, the answer begins to crystallize. I glance in the rearview and see the big Dodge barreling down behind me, rear axle twitching in anticipation of the straight, just hating the corner. If we were on Route in Nevada, with straights for days, the Charger would be spinning me by now.

And if this were Tail of the Dragon, the Charger would last about three corners before my taillights disappeared for good. So while I bank time on the corners, I give it up on the straights. After one lap, I have a modest six-second lead. Is that enough? I guess it depends. Verdict: You better hope the chase takes you through an autocross course. You need something a lot quicker. Cops have radios and helicopters and colleagues who would be glad to park their own Chargers across your path.

They have dash cams that record your plate, and some of them even have sticky-locator-dart cannons they can fire at your bumper. Even if you escape, modern police technology practically ensures that your freedom is only temporary. Thus, silly track exercises aside, our official advice is to pull over and plead for mercy.

With such a large lead, the Ferrari and Chevy are often cornering while the Pursuit is charging down a straight. New Cars. Buyer's Guide. Like the UAE's Bugatti, though, it's not used for pursuits but for community outreach. The top speed is mph. Don't try outrunning it!

So this one will track you down on the highway and pull you over. Carchaser says this police GT-R tops out at mph. You have the right to remain silent. At least here in America. Who knows what rights you'd have in Japan after clocking mph?

Lamborghini donated a total of four Gallardos to police in Italy, the first in They were turned over to specially trained officers for patrolling and for tasks that required speed, like delivering organs to their recipients.

Remarkably, only one was crashed, when an inattentive Seat Ibiza driver pulled out of a gas station without looking. Others put in as much as 93, miles of service before being retired.

We should all do so well. Huracans came more recently into the fleet, also aimed at medical transport. Spyker the brand has been around for more than a century, starting out making carriages, then cars, then airplanes, and then cars again. It was revived in long story. But it resulted in at least one C8 Spyder going to police in Flevoland province, Netherlands.
