This is not getting enough love. It's completely kick-rear end. I have a big-rear end Allis Chalmers tractor piston. I think I know what I'm going to do with it now. sofullofhate posted:In case everybody missed this - it's brilliant. I laughed so hard. Indeed. The slo-mo Chariots of Fire bit was perfect.

 Edit: cop chat: Oregon state police use ALOT of unmarked vehicles. Newer Chargers, Tahoes, Mustangs and Camaros. I don't like how sneaky they are.

Apparently they'd had a problem in the county with an all-black Crown Vic pretending to be a cop. I want to get the bullbar and paint it and the wheels lime green or some poo poo. Edit: also there's a city in Texas, Malakoff, I think, that has gloss black SUVs with matte black graphics. Pretty sure that level of sneakiness is technically illegal in Texas.

When I lived there I saw someone being pulled over by a base Chrysler 300 and a goddamn Nissan Altima. I was told they would rent a bunch of cars, but that was probably before major budget issues.

We have those in Austin and Houston. It's really sneaky and disgusting. They refer to them as "stealth" cars, which is pretty dumb. Navy and black Crown Vics with matching, matte stickers only on the sides, white and black Ford Explorers, etc. I think there are also solid black dodge chargers with matching stickers. The only way to identify them is to look for the push bar, light bars inside the car, or possibly a color matched spotlight.

Given how flat they are I'm betting those are just hubcaps hiding the steelies (like the appearance package Interceptors). E: Also most of the police Chargers I've seen have alloys so I'm not sure where you got that info MonkeyNutZ fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Dec 27, 2014 |

The 2J led directly to the development of the Brabham BT46-B  The 2J was banned after the season, the BT-46B raced once. Active ground effects are still illegal in all forms of motorsport.

That doesn't surprise me. We have an unmarked, gloss black state police Charger here with a nearly invisible decal on only the passenger side, and a KITT-esque hidden lightbar at the top of the window that does the sweep side to side with bright blue lights. It's loving awesome, yet totally dickish. But man, seeing that thing all lit up is loving wicked

That's pretty tame, at least by the standards of Shadow:  As much as the Porsche 917-10 and -30 were crazy cars, the Shadow AVS pretty much takes the cake for the craziest Can-Am car of all. It's basically a big-block Chevy powered go-kart.
