Road testing is about all they were good for - they
spent about 3/4 of their time at the dealers - they were a very poor police car
- would not stand up to the rigors of the trade at all. The only reason
the OPP ever got those for police cars was the fact that the Commissioner of the
Day had one for his personal vehicle and thought it was a great car - and they
might have been for that purpose - but they were an absolute loss as a police
car unless you had just got it back from being repaired at the dealer and were
going in straight line - they were very quick to 100 mph, but that's where it
ended.. An additional somewhat humorous aside to that as well - all those
cars came equipped from the factory with air conditioning - The OPP paid extra
to have the air conditioning removed because they though that it was too
ostentatious to have police officers driving around in air conditioned
cars!!!! How times have changed.
