As far as I know, UTK drives unmarked M3s from what insiders told me. And some other fancy cars too hasil rampasan. Drug money, not the people's. Peroda Lebuhraya should be given Hayabusa or NinjaZXR1300 just for gempak purpose like in the US.

But I would prefer if UTK not announce what car they're driving so that the lanun can't mark them. So I guess Evo is now out of the question.. Someone told me UTK drive around in unmarked M3. And I think I saw them too, cop looking tall muscles driving around KL. A friend got stopped for illegal racing by plainclothes cop driving a beemer. Peronda Lebuhraya should be given a few Hayabusa instead la.. like cops in Ohio, Texas, Michigan and some places in California. I guess Evos for UTK is good la..

Most probably it will be modified with bodykits and what-nots for police to go undercover ala movie Fast n Furious style..... imagine the drug pushers users using powerful cars like Nissan Fairlady etc and the police using Proton Waja :-P..... cover will be blown easily.... So the police gotta have powerful cars to go undercover.... participate in illegal races..... then only can penetrate the drug lord's network....

Special units need to be 'tangkas' so the Lancer Evo's tech like the Twin Clutch gearbox, anti-yaw electronics, 400Nm does the job rather well.

The car supplied by SPANCO is not owned by the govt, is owned by them and the contract pertaining to the supply of the vehicle is inclusive of maintenace (except fuel), thus making the govt pay less (only rental) and did not own the car and reduce the asset (esp on the dep). Its being proven save and affordable method compared to owning it and most organisation practise this method esp for non value add and fast moving (beyond economnic repair or fast obsolete items) like PC and photocopier machines, not suitable for factory machines. If the contract stated that the depreciation value of the evos is 5 years (due to high milage), the total cost will be distributed by 5 years + untung (this one need to check, berapa % they make hahahahaha) Evos on the other hand is good and cheap to maintain compared to the nature of boxer engine that is available in the scoobs. And the driver, don't underestimate the police force. Just because they dont show off doesn make them a fool. They went through a lot of driving training (defensive, advance etc) before being handed the wheel. Have you guys ever heard the high speed chase between UTK's T5/special made PV6 and robber's Bimmer that end up somewhere in the gaung? Waja patrol car with Wiralution (kedai emas robbery)in LDP and Besraya highway? Yup.
