Not saying i don’t believe you, but why do they still teach it at the county and city academy? Just curious. My buddy just got out of there about 8 months ago and was telling me about the finer points of the PIT that he learned there.

Also, as far as newer cop cars, the city and county are going to all new Impalas by 2009, from what my buddy in the Sheriff’s Dept. says. Alot of local municipalities are going to the Charger because its supposedly a little bit cheaper, especially if they don’t want the v8 power of the Impala (the police package impala only comes with the 5.3, not the 3.9 or 3.5. I dont know why though, that 3.9 would be plenty powerful and perfect for local communities)
