Much appreciated.Mate they generally go a bit better, possibly due to the way they are broken in. Early on kilometres wise, they are "driven", and driven every day. But dont let that worry you, ive got a mate (hard to believe, but I pay him well) and he owns a ex NSW HWP car, and its the best car he has ever owned. Hasnt had a problem with it. Plenty of people are all like "hell no, never buy a cop car, they are thrashed". Well yes they are, but the majority of damage is when they are thrashed, then turned off, which NEVER happens in HWP. They are all serviced to the dot. A lot of HWP cars spend a lot of time cruising on the highway, and seeing that yours is from the south coast, it would have had a easier life than say a Sydney metro car. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88648-fg-xr6t-ex-police-fleet-vehicle/page/2/#findComment-1482946 Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys dont know what they are talking about.I agree. My R spec was delivered with a COP chip installed from factory. I also think that the new GT-F has the COP chip to give it extra power.
