nissaner Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 just spotted a blue wrx with rally car stickers all over the car (bonnet, doors, boots etc)... on fullers road chatswood, heading up to chatswood toyota... i saw it coming up the hill and thought... hmm... someone's bored with their plain looking wrx???? and upon passing the car, i checked the rearview mirror... and what do i see???? "POLICE" sticker on the boot (the standard blue on white sticker... or is it white on blue... i don't know :wassup: ) just wondering if it really belongs to the local police or is someone being real brave and putting police sticker on their car for jokes?? number plate was the new standard black on yellow (AA11AA format) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/67261-police-wrx-chatswood-area/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

NXTIME Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 only fairfield police has them.. for driver education purposes, they were at drag combat last year spreading their message it was a STI though 2003 The police used to bring a wrx cop car to WSID on wednesdays. Even did some runs to. Pity they couldn't get it to run quicker than a 15 sec pass I don't think it is an STI, though. It is supposed to be used to encourage people against street racing. Doesn't seem to be working. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/67261-police-wrx-chatswood-area/#findComment-1249145 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NXTIME Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Nope. Correcting, not contradicting. As I said earlier, I didn't think it was an STI. No definites there Especially since I recall it running 15's - you'd expect an STI to get into the 13's. A quick search confirmed it.

Lepperfish Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Are those WRX cop cars Automatic or manual, being auto probably explains its slow 1/4 mile times.
