yeah they generally have a police pack on the commodores.. used to be called BT1 pack not sure what it is now.. they get FE2 suspension and a different chip.. I know the VR's were MAFless tuned too cos we have a few ex chasers that are VR's come through dads shop and they were all missing the MAF sensor

yeah they do.. oh and they get LSD aswell

They've been modding them since they've been driving cars mate.

Remember the VLturbo police car newspaper ads?

Ex - Pursuit cars are sought after over here. By true bogans anyway.

most highway patrols are V8 commo's, reason being that suspension is easier and cheaper to modify on the Holdens, and believe it or not, its the officers themselves that prefer the commo?

I work across the road to one of sydney super-stations, and the boys in blue love talking about their cars, and so do I.

they tweak up the ECU, the Gearbox gets a tweak for quicker shifting, all done through holden themselves for the police fleet.

all diffs on V8's are LSD regardless.. the good old Borg warner 8 3/4 inch with 3:8 gears in them..

the V6's all have the same diff but not LSD and 3:4:5 gears,

I know in NSW Police cars do NOT have anything done to them, apart from bigger alternator, and bigger battery. Some HWY cars have a little done, but very minor stuff if anything.

DO NOT buy a police car. As stated in the past never advertise your car as an ex cop car etc. I don't care if you say it is a D's car on this or that, they ALL get flogged senseless and abused the hell out of.

I mean we have to sometimes get new rotors and pads after 5000k, doing 2000km in a week.

My old man used to own  an Ex-police VS v6.

It was auto, but the shifts were very quick, and sharp.
It had and LSD, and the FE2 suspension.
It could actually beat a V8 VS, stock v Police pack.

Was quiet a good car, my only dislike was the horrible amount of road noise there was in the cabin, and the seats suck. Other than that all was good.

EDIT:

Was a Victorian car....

They still tweak them in WA.

Pfft, you run the same risk buying any car, especially a turbo car. At least you are guarenteed a properly maintained, and professionally repaired vehicle.

yeah they are serviced regularly and properly but SkoobyGT has a good point.. they are thrashed.. and im going to beleive him on the current vehicles not being modded either He is in the know

Oh yeah not meaning to sound as though I was dis-agreeing with you man, each state does their own thing

Well from what i was told by my "contacts" is that the 08 cars will be more likle to be fords. Due to their front seats being wider to accomidate the gun belt
