    I saw recently on TV that FORD MUSTANGS were being looked at for pursuit work by Police States in Australia I imagine that some GM Muscle cars will also get a look in, has their been any whispers of what vehicles Holden plan to import to replace the Commodore , SS etc

    I was pulled over the other day by highway patrol....friendly copper and got talking to him after checking out his ride. Asked him what they are going to be using when the commos are phased out because I couldnt see them using Camrys. He said he hadn't heard anything yet but he was interested to see what theyd be using in the near future. He even mentioned the new Stang was the only possibility he could see ......then the SOAB fined me

    The coppers on the front line don't get much of a say in what cars they will get & won't be told what cars they are, until near the time they actually receive them.

    The list of performance RWD cars will be a lot shorter when the Commodore & Falcon cease production, but what about the 300C. Most Govt. tenders are won on price & I'd say that a 4-door 300c V8 would be cheaper than a Mustang. The 4-door Chrysler would be more practical as a cop car to boot.
