I remember on my drive back to victoria, chatting to a WA Officer, with him rubbing his hands together at the thought of having a HWY patrol car XR6T or XR8 over the then current VZ SV6 and asking how i rated mine.

Am I the only on that finds it unusual that WA are one of the only (if not the only) state that has no P Plater Engine restrictions, yet their cops can't drive V8's what message is this sending out?

Anybody know when/if QPS will be upgrading to FGs?

When the VE came out they were almost instant in upgrading, yet i havn't seen one FG, they were quick to update the BF to BF MK II though..

All the current xr6 highway patrol cars here in W.A. are turbos - so i gather these ones would be too.

Awesom looking cars. If im ever to get pulled up for speeding i atleast hope its in one of these!

Mate that all depends on when the cars are due for an upgrade. They don't upgrade at the drop of a hat just for the sake of it.
