Ok, now they are not playing fair, Indiana State Police recentl purchased 18 2008 Mustang GT?s to be used as unmarked police vehicle for traffic enforcement throughout the States districts. The unmarke Mustangs will definately blend in well as they are popular cars unfortunately the only revealing equipment on the Mustangs are th red and blue flashing lights which are hidden inside the cabin. Eve though the Mustangs are meant for speed they will rarely be used o interstates as ISP plans to focus on two-lane highways and othe roads where fatalities seem to be more common.

Indiana State Police officials recently purchased 18 2008 For
Mustangs, and what better way to break them in than by hitting th road course at O?Reilly Raceway Park
ISP Sgt. Rich Myers said the department used Ford Mustangs in th
1980s for traffic patrol, but then switched to Chevrolet Camaros When Chevrolet stopped making Camaros, he said the ISP began usin their Crown Victoria patrol cars for enforcement details befor deciding to switch back to MustangsMyers said there will one Mustang in each ISP district
?They will be a traffic enforcement tool, just like the motorcycles,
he said
Several troopers gathered at O?Reilly Raceway Park earlier this wee
to test their driving skills and get a feel for the new Mustangs
ISP Sgt. Shannon Kennedy said the troopers were first introduced t
the cars during a one and a half day training session at the Indian Law Enforcement Academy. There, she said, they practiced basic skill on both inside and outside tracks. She said they decided to go to OR to get practice taking curves
?(The Mustangs) handle differently than the Crown Vics,? she added
Kennedy said ORP?s road course simulates the road conditions th
troopers will be facing on a regular basis
She said the Mustangs will rarely be used on interstates as they pla
to focus on two-lane highways and other roads where fatalities see to be more common
Kennedy also said motorists will likely not notice the troopers sinc
Mustangs are a popular car and these models are not marked
?They don?t even have the antennas,? she added
