Hawaii: cops drivin the Gs

My neighbor at village park, Rex just got his new G35 Sedan. His family is very happy with the new G. --with that G, he will have more fun driving than Z28s and Mustangs. Cheers!Banzai!more blue lights on Gs. Am I wrong?

Blue lights on G's have been seen in town. I ran across a few of them with glaring stares. Its nice to know that HPD uses them. I dont know who he was, but a few of us were at tracks one night and low and behold, an officer with a G sedan doing the quarter mile.

I've heard that the 2003 was approved as a cop car, but the 2004 has not been approved. Richard at Infiniti mentioned that they were pulled because "the cars are too high-end". At 30K, how much does a fully loaded, Mustang Cobra cost? Camaro Z28? I'm going to ask a friend of mine and let you guys know

I know a SLP Camaro or Z28...goes for around $27-30k. Not sure on the Mustang. But yeah, Ive heard that HPD approved usage of the sedans for now. Coupes still pending.

Re: Hawaii: cops drivin the Gs

Its a name thingy. Even if the Cobra costs more, the fact that it is a Ford versus say another luxury brand of Ford, makes it okay from what I understand. In a state where money is tight, even if the G at 34K costs less, the mere name of Infinti give the public the wrong impression.

Still though, it was cool to see them at the track.

This is in regards to having HPD's officers to use their own vehicle and they are given allowance for mileage. Also, I would assume, my father is a retired HPD officer, it is cheaper to maintain and easier on the city budget.
