THE only thing faster than quicksilver is flashy gold. Victoria Police has unveiled its new highway patrol V8 Commodore SS, distinctively painted devil yellow, as part of the force's fleet of pursuit vehicles.
Twenty of the high-powered, hi-tech cars, which can reach 100km/h in less than nine seconds, are the latest frontline weapon to cut the road toll.
Each car has secure digital radios, mobile radar equipment and are fitted to test drivers for the presence of alcohol or drugs.
The fleet takes over from the light-blue Ford Falcon pursuit cars police have used for more than a year.
Assistant Commissioner Noel Ashby said the new cars – known as special mobile anti-road toll (SMART) cars, would be rolled out for the force's biggest Christmas road safety blitz yet.
Up to 200 officers will be on duty around the clock focusing on drink-driving, drug-driving, speed and fatigue.
"The operation across Victoria will be comprehensive and bigger than anything that's preceded it," he said. "These cars will be visible right across the state."
yeah but dont tell a copper that, they think there commonwhore`s are the ant`s pant`s,,, get in one and give a boot full and you`ll laugh your guts out
I know them things are SUPPOSED to have that 6.0l but those numbers say .60l seriously, 0-100 MPH in nine seconds would be slow, but 0-100 KPH? Isn't that like 62 MPH?
