Race one? Good on ya.

My ex-neighbour works for the police refitting depot up here at Enoggerra, and he has confirmed that it's bullsh*t. In fact with the extra weight they put in these things I could probably "race one" in my stock T ute and win!

Looks like they've definitely given it a shunt (looks like into a towbar) because the outside casing is missing too.

Standard BF phoon bar option your allowed to atleast get off the lot before they fall out.

Just ask Zap....

most government cars are decomissioned after 30k on the clock but the highway cars are actually regularly serviced and are generally used for 60k unless written off like some of the monaros. but yeh I would expect to see them at auction in 12 months or so. on the story of the cars being modded I can vouch for the fact they are now. I spoke to the man I know with all the info yesterday about how true it was and his response was along the lines of 10 years ago the difference between your family car or police car and a street machine in hp wasnt all that great and the advantage could be reduced by pure numbers of police on the roads then. now fast forward to today with 400-500rwhp cars out and about with younger and younger drivers things needed to be done. the drivers actually go through an 8 month course before being assigned to one of these cars now as well. the funniest part of his explanation was the fact that the main reason that all of this was approved was actually greater fuel economy overall.

sorry guys also noticed in my first post I stated the figures in rwkw which was a mistake on my part, the cars are tuned to 290-295 fwkw.

Which most Typhoons probably make standard anyway. They aren't 270. Chipping cop cars is just a myth. All BA XR police vehicles run standard ECU programs. Typhoons won't be any different.
