Thought everyone might be interested in seeing this. They race this car. It used to belong to Hank Nava, a Fort Worth officer shot and killed while serving a warrant, and now it hits the various shows and fundraisers and such.

That is so cool!!!

COLORADO GRAND PRIX/G8 MEET! SEPT 12

i was actually watching "worlds wildest police chases" one day. there was one where there was a van running from the cops, all of a sudden you see a silver 97-03 Grand prix coupe just fly by the cop cars and catch up to the van. turns out it was an undercover patrol car.

i had a '97 GTP i bought right after graduating highschool. it was an undercover cop car down in Ft. Lauderdale FL. still had all the equipment for the strobes, and CV hidden in the trunk. (wish i coulda figured out how to wire them up again). ended up ripping it all out cuz it weighed litterally like 80 pounds. car also must have had an aftermarket PCM. got the car up to 125 (not something i like to admit) without it shutting off. also must have had a few other goodies that i was not aware of, cuz it always smoked my buddies '99 GTP

anyways...interesting little thread.

looks sick.. i've seen a few here and there..

yeah this one has all the goodies. If you notice in the interior pic, on the console is the control box for the strobes, and the fogs are red and blues. A ton of people have donated to this car, as you can see by all the sponser stickers on the rocker panels. Im not sure what this car does on the track, but you can bet its fast. My girlfriend is a police widow also and is good friends with Theresa Nava, Ill try to fin out the skinny on what this thing is capable of.

sorry he died, cool car though

so they have made a police car that i cant run away from?...damn it!

they have those

a few county's have zr1 corvettes. dodge vipers. Lamborghini. Ferrari. bmw's. Mercedes. the list of super fats cars used for police vehicles are astonishing

^and most of them, I'd say 80%, are confiscated during drug busts probably. That's okay though, Id rather see a competent Officer driving a Viper than some dipshit coked out of his mind who only owns what he has because he doesn't have the courage, self-respect, or common sense to go out and work a real job like the rest of us, they'd rather just peddle death and addiction to people. Good for the police, better a drug dealer's car than our tax dollars paying for it

lol, yup, they've got a few different models....the fastest one of all is called "Police Radio"

The dodge chargers are very popular here, Along with the mustangs.

That's really cool, and a nice way to make a rolling memorial for a fallen officer.

Looks like the car was red before (notice the firewall and around the head light) wonder if they repainted the entire thing just for this.

~F~

does anyone remember seeing a police chase video on TV where the cops were chasing a black 97-03 gtp. The cop on the radio says "chasing a supercharged black sedan." The couldn't catch up to it until the gtp ran out of gas. Has anyone else seen this? I've been trying to look for it forever.

Although gold dust is precious, when it gets in your eyes, it obstructs your vision.

this story screams America through and through win or lose on the drag strip its a special car!!!!!!

I was driving my silver 01 when it was stock on 894 in Milwaukee when I see red and blue lights flashing and coming up FAST. Turns out it was a stock looking 01+ (Galaxy Silver) GTP sedan with lights and siren going probably 110 MPH. That thing was pretty sweet.
