Street racing in denver, Colorado Springs and especially on the higyways and mountain roads has become a huge problem, unlike california street racers in colorado have less harsh punishments and ease in seeing waiting patrol cars. Well the highway patrol has recently been using the AWD terror made by Subaru, yes folks the STi has been issued and is also modified to make almost 420 whp for the boys in blue. I am adding some pics here so you can see it up close and in action. They chose the STi because it was offered to them in police packae and unlike the camaro interceptor is offered only in AWD giving them all weather snow driving, and it is a way to fight fire with fire as most street racers use EVO's, STi's, Supra's, RX7's, etc.

Crown vics FTL.

Its nice to see the cops are finally getting something decent. Crown vics and Camaros are only good for the highway and cant keep up on the twistier roads at all. ;)

Me and my brother were going down the Interstate here and saw a car pulled over by an unmarked Cobra Mustang. And there are also a few Civics in their inventory.

Florida FTL...

Hahah yeah I thought it was pretty queer too, but it was when the first Fast and the Furious came out. They blended in pretty well back then, now street racing is pretty much dead around here and those cars stick out like a sour thumb now.
