Unless it is wet, I have seen quite a few police cars do a bit of drifting on the way to their jobs, 4wd ftw.
Yeah didn't really get that point across really well. How fast the patrol car gets to 100km/h isn't the point.
Its the fact that if someone was going to make a run for it they are more likely to stop and pull over if the see an STI with a huge scoop on their ass than if it was the usual v6 commodore.
Also would be interesting to see the number of pursuits per person/population in other countries vs the rate in New Zealand. I don't imagine it would be any higher the US or Europe
