For those down here in Victoria, there are a few cop cars which are impossible to pick from a normal hoon's car.

No Aerials (radio aerial down too while driving)
Darker than legal tint on rear and possible on the sides (so you can't see the lights)
P Plates displayed (mostly hidden at the front like many P Platers do with the blue sun strip at the top) And in the back window but they're hard to see [Using green P Plates]

Other than that they look pretty much stock but have been modified for power (although some have a few modifications like driving lights and interior setups to fool). If you intimidate to drag them they'll rev back and **** but your screwed! :p

And yes, this is Victoria Police's new plan to catch hoons. And no, they're not just P Platers!

On another note, the undercover VE SS Utes look **** hot! :D

they dont, the engins remain the same

I know, that's why I'm asking. They don't mod engines.

You might find too that despite all the assertions, Police are still quite cautious in what they will use on the road, and particularly in pursuits.

Whilst using cars in-cognito to catch the idiot even with many of the supposed get-ups described, full on pursuits beyond intercepts are another thing. For example an Astra might do well for an pull up, however you won't find it fangin dow Dandy Road at a hundred after a knob.
