VZ SS Pursuit car with PWR blower

[Drizzt]

Got a call from my mate (he's also a member on this forum and probably didn't post up as he just moved house and wouldn't have any net access yet) Saturday morning while I was heading out to a job and he goes on telling me that he walked past a fully decked out VZ SS pursuit car with all the stickers and lights at a car wash and walked past again when it had the bonnet up and noticed the PWR blower sitting on top of the motor.

He tried asking some questions but the kind officer clammed up and refused to let him take pics with his camera phone.

So for those in melbourne and especially the SE suburbs, just be on the lookout and be careful. I'd hate for any forum members to find out they were run down by a blown pursuit car at then end of it.

I better let my friend "The Night Rider" know...

It's all funny now until someone cops it

Either way take it as you like.

I'm already blacklisted for something else, I don't need to piss them off more by outrunning them.

But you can have all the power you want and it still won't go fast coz of driver ability or in some cases inability lets just hope he is not so good and if someone has the chance to get the id/chassis no it would be great to have for the record so if it comes up for sale in the future ou no that thats the one that had the blower on it and you could do the same mod straight away
Knowing that it could handle it

How sure was your mate Drizzt? OHS dont like this sort of stuff and my link at Dawson street knows nothing about it.
Dawson St is where all Vic police cars are converted.

I would have taken a pic, regardless of what the cop said - its a public place!

Could this be a test mule for the HSV supercharger kit (I think it is PWR who is working on it?) Wonder if it is emission compliant?

Not just that its Public Property and Tax PAYER FUNDED

[muzza]

Zactly!

You are allowed to take pics in public places freely.

(But if you are taking pics of kiddies you will get )

It all sounds a bit weird, unless the Plod are doing some "evaluation", or PWR offered them one as a real life durability test.

May have been mentioned on here before,

But there used to be a GTO Coupe cop car getting around Melbourne, and its plates were something like HSV GTO. Made me want to join the force

[mosanator]

Well if it is true, (about the VZ) watch out for that one at the Auctions in a few months time

VIC Cops may be setting a car up to take on "The Heat" ( NT Drag car)

Although I'm from Adelaide, I saw this car 2 yrs ago when I was over there for the MotoGP. Went out for dinner on Chapel St and lo 'n' behold there she was! A bright yellow GTO coupe with the checkers down the side just like all those fancy PR paint job pursuit vehicles your government wastes it's money on.
