RE: What do the cops drive in your state?
Here in MA, all the local cops drive crown vics with a few explorers/expeditions.
The state troopers drive mostly undercover cars that have absolutely no markings whatsoever:
Impala
Taurus
Focus
Intrepid
Lincoln Navigator
I've heard of them using japanese cars, but have never seen any yet.
Since this is off topic...
Today, I was behind this trooper in a marked crown vic w/ no light bar on Rt. 3. He was driving like a jerk, swerving in and out of traffic, changing lanes with no directional, tailgating, and doing 90+ MPH. I know that if I was doing any of the above, he would have pulled me over in an instant. So I decided too follow, staying a few cars back. Since the state troopers are mostly A$$HOLES in mass, I wanted to get his car number and report him but unfortunately, my exit came too soon.

RE: What do the cops drive in your state?
Well here in colorado since we have mountains we have tons of ones.
In my city we have:
Impala
Crown Victoria
Suburban
Harly Bikes
State Patrol:
Crown victoria (under cover as well)
Dodge Charger R/T (one time i was tempted to race it cuz some cops have a sense of humor, but I decided it was a bad idea)
Corvette Z06
Under cover: Some of these are so sneaky it sux tons of ppl have been caught but I have learned the ones)
3 2006 F-150 Trucks that are compleatly stock, except for a big cow catcher
1 2006 Jeep Grand Charokee, this is impossible to spot, complealy stock, u have to look at the driver
the rest are regular ones that are pretty easy to spot (spotlights ect.)
in the mountains we have almost every suv you can imadgin along with some really heavy trucks, one has a F-650, which is just a giant and looks like it could crush other cars.
In regards to the busa cops, that just really sucks, i am sorry I dont know anything short of a drag car thats pulls low 10's or a full out exotic that has around 1000 HP

This past February, while attending the Stage 3 finish of the Tour of California in San Jose, I saw an unmarked brown Toyota Corolla... totally stock. The only hint of this being a San Jose PD vehicle was the flashing strobe lights on the corners of the car.

Here in Washington, we have basically what's already been listed....EXCEPT for the State Patrol.
Those bastards have some very undercover cars rolling around, including:
A white late model Volvo Station Wagon (like the UK one with the pic above)
Several black Dodge Stratus' with super dark tint and big chrome rims
A teal Dodge Caravan
And a black Honda S2000....no joke.
And those are just the ones I've seen pulling people over. I'm sure they have more UC's rollin around. And speaking of AZ, the one thing I do remember enjoying was that there weren't many speed traps...ever. Aside from those vans and trailers with cameras, I don't think in the 4 years I lived in the Phoenix area I EVER saw an actual speed trap (as in, cop sitting in his car with radar gun)
Driving I-5 here in the Seattle area, I pass a speed trap at least 3 times a week. No fun when you're trying to enjoy your bike...makes me miss jumping on I-10 or the 202 and pinning it.
