for those who criticized negatively…. grown up please! for god sake!! such a typical m’sian kampung attitude with an internet access !!! … why can’t you guys just let be the PDRM being equipped with costly the state of the art equipment and machines. You want them police to perform their best and yet you want them to have sub-standard stuff. Where got road man??? Just becoz in reality you can only afford to have one of those protons as your ride… can only afford an EVO or Volvo in your dream, stop blaming others for your not so fortunate pitiful life. Suggest you guys go to the 7eleven and get yourself a new life. Haaa Haa Haaa!!!

Ohh man! PDRM got themselves GTi, EVO, S60 and S80 as well. I would surely don’t play-play with them guys down the highway these days. Had bad experience with their 850T5 long long time ago. Learned my lesson well. I believe the police should be allowed to totally dominate the road. Superb car is the way to go. But I do sincerely hope that they have their driver trained well in handling the car. Otherwise it will be a waste of asset. I heard a few of their ST1300 bike gone out of the road due to incompetent riding skill.

WELL DONE POLICE !! You guys Rock!

trained with japanese police force, they used dodge instead of japanese car because dodge can be designed to trap suspect car…

[quote comment="219853"]i think police cars are modded turbo
and piston bore size up.

waja police 1.5 becomes 2.0 at least

dats what i heard…[/quote]

u need a volvo because capable in high speed chase.. test it before, i can overtake a honda and can easily do the box in manoveure for frontal and rear attack.. japanese car such as toyota can’t do it because they are not built to do it and they are not study and easily crumpled..usually to stop a hijacking car.. this volvo can do it a box in effect to the rear bumper of the suspect car… i know only certain makes can do: ford, GM, holden,volvo and maybe subaru,,,usually chief inspector drove this volvo and they are well trained in anti hijacking tactics….

I thot it was a joke to see a Vios doing 210kmh….!

Saw the bright whithish polie S80 2.5T being used as VIP escort car here …. XC90s seem to be the standard vehicles for the “V” VIP” in dark sunglasses & blue bush jackets though !!!

To my surprise, PDRM also runs a fleet of S60 T5 highway patrol cars…. saw once along NSE near Senawang. Would be fun to see T5 charging along with its earlier acquired EVO X… along NSE lah, of course while curising or pretending to be chasing some unknown vehicle. Since when they will chase after any robbers using these vehicles??? exept in the movie.

S80 will be an ideal highway cruiser or VIP escort car, and not for patrol, supposively due to its comfort and thus soft setting. Taking the s80 to 210kmh will be a push, as compared to S60 T5 to 250kmh – a pea nut.
They need the high power vehicles to keep pace with the RRs, Bentleys, Mercs or Masseratis…. of the VIP vehicles, perhaps. XC90s are known to be safe and versatile for the bodyguards to arrived safe ahead of their masters.

S80 2.5T – 200hp / 200NM
S60 T5 – 260hp / 320NM

So, don’t try to out run the T5…. just give way, unless you are driving a 525 and higher capac vehicles.

i agreed RMPF should have this volvo in their line up…
not just for the force’s image, a lot of duties have to be fulfilled…
escorting vip la, kejar ah beng la, too much…
even japanese police are using skyline for narcotics & toyota crown for general duty…
so RMPF should use it too…
the one they should not have is corruption…
our salary is not enough kot…

This is really good and surely not membazir one… Our police force should have hi-performance cars like tis to get rid of those criminals and street bullies.

But I believe the volvo is meant for vvip escorts not for patrolling purpose like the evos. ..thanx a lot to all traffic offenders who have give them privilege to drive this cars. Lets pay more summons so maybe one day we can see our police officers in merc or bmw.

Bear in mind, imported cars bought by govt. is non-taxable…so it should be cheaper rite… Thumbs up to PDRM!

i dont think is only about chasing the speed demons. how about robbers with high end cars? do you think they will stop at the toll booth or if there go off the highway, do you think they even bother to stop their car eventhough in this electronic era?

dale — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 06:56:45 +0000

Actually, why bother about “CHASING”, when you can easily network with all PLUS’s tolls, giving all the details of the car you want to stop and apprehend, the faster they are, the longer they will have to wait until the patrol car finally arrive at the particular “networked” toll. In this electronic era you dont have to work hard and risk lives, just work smart.

somebody mentioned about “kopi money”, just would like to add my personal experience to this forum. one fine day i was stopped by a police traffic, and before asking why, i realised i didn’t wear my seat belt. so i guess it was my stupid mistake not to wear one. then the traffice police told me that i may get a ticket for not wearing a seat belt. so i told him, just issue me one. he was so puzzled with my answer. he thought i might want to settle the thing without giving any ticket. so, when talking about “kopi money”, there wont be any taking if there’s no giving rite? if you realised that you’ve made a mistake, just bear with it.

so i guess with the volvo s80, pdrm can easily chase those singaporean buggers in the PLUS highways. THUMBS UP to PDRM.

cheers

Probably Volvo gave few cars to the Police.
Few years ago Honda gave two Civic Hybrid to the police.
