Check this out !!

Police test Porsche patrol car

Austrian police are testing a Porsche 911 as a traffic control car to help prevent motorists from speeding.



A spokesman said the £65,000 ($US 121,000) sports car, than can do up to 177mph, had been a major success and they are planning to buy more.

He said: "The preventive effect is excellent. Drivers just needed to see it parked alongside the road and they slammed on the brakes.

"The only thing is that it's a bit cramped. But there's still enough space for the essential equipment like the speeding radar and the breathalyser."

One of the local departments here as well as Philly PD, are using a Dodge Charger. I have seen one up close, and man does it sound nice
