they would be better off with a Viper in my opinion......

$80K? I don't think any new Corvettes cost $80k do they?

[Ghoste]

Fleet pricing.

Looks like the 2009 Z06 starts at about $75,000 and a ZR1 is about $105,000.

an '07 Z06....not more than 40K in this economy.....gotta love how the news spins things  

[Silver R/T]

ZR1's are marked up to ~150K at the dealerships.
Nice way to spend local county's tax money   NOT. I bet cop's ego is big enough to compensate for small genitalia.

It's a drug seizure - didn't really cost the police department much (lights and sirens?). Our local police departments generally use them for D.A.R.E. vehicles but I wouldn't be surprised to see some as patrol cars.

So how much overcompensating does a Mustang Cobra and a Charger R/T get you?

Enough to let you take anonymous cyber potshots at an entire profession who risk their lives as part of their job to protect us?

I would have to check in with my girlfriend...I'll get back to you
And you know important fact is that I've paid for those cars myself, city didn't buy them for me.
Maybe you can ask other Charger owners same question?

[Troy]

Hello McFly... the city didn't buy it - it was seized in a drug bust (and is now used to make more busts).

Troy

silver.. you actually did watch the vid did you not?  may want to click on that link before troy bans you. (okay, dont know if he would, but it sounded more dramatic and convincing to further support my previous statement )

LOL!

Check this out. This is what the police dept has purchased to help catch criminals in a city not far from my area. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that it is probably a blast to drive.
