I still remember that scene in that Clarkson DVD where they pitted an Ariel Atom with a US squad car in a “police chase.” Needless to say, the Atom bitch-slapped the squad car. So will all the performance cars on the road today, is there a chance for squad cars to get a decent upgrade and we’re not saying it’s the new K.I.T.T.

Last time we featured a police car here, it was the Carbon Motors E7. But with GM trying to look more cool ever since Transformers, they made a cop car version of the fastest Corvette ever. This Corvette ZR1 cop car with Michigan State Police insignias slapped on, is probably one of the most intimidating sights you’d see on the road. Though I’d like to see some cop try to pit maneuver someone in this $100,000 car.

Too bad for the State Police, they wouldn’t have their paws on this one. But just the thought of a cop car LS9 supercharged 6.2L V8 engine, getting 620 horsepower and 595 ft-lb of torque is quite frightening. That’s more than twice the power of the E7 and we thought that car was already scary.
