RX-8 cop car?
I just stumbled across this model. It's probably just the product of someone's imagination, but an interesting idea.

That's a promotional car like the tricked out cop FC over at SevenStock. I remember talking to the guy (who of course was a cop) who brought it to SevenStock, I asked him on his opinion of all the illegally modded cars there and he said that he would not pull over and right a Ref ticket unless the driver was doing something stupid.

Yeah cop cars are all AT, I'd be willing to put money on it. I did a ride along with my local dept and there is no way in hell a cop could manage driving a stick + trying to manage the radio and the computer right next to that...

Most Police work is routine and you don't need a high powered car for that. Even on the highways, very few try to outrun an officer. The 170 hp figure is only for the first couple of years of the AT 4 port engines. The last couple of years the AT has the 6 port engine that gives it at least 30 more hp (I forget the exact numbers).
