Buyers MUST look at more than a lap time, turbos are expensive to replace, a cops office is a cruiser. Unless it’s a take home that ride is moving 24/7 with a different driver on each shift. Driver on days, drives like a human. Driver on swings is more cruising. Drivers on graves is lead foot Louie the LEO.....ergonomics , accessories like laptop racks, shotgun and rifle racks, radios and electronics associated with wiring harness , alternator and batteries.
How will it corner and brake , cooling etc .... The seating is or isn’t designed for wear and tear from duty gear..... Suspension for city, rural roads....potholes, curbs.
Turbo is great for acceleration yet displacement is easier and cheaper to maintain per my experience for such vehicles.
Accessories package for the vehicles included...? pit and bull bars ? Ballistic and bio hazard (spit) cage ? Plastic back seat with handcuff and hog tie retention, dark tint for prisoner cage (innocent till proven guilty ride)..... Lots more than just a cool turbo IMO.
Got to get long term bang for the taxpayers buck..... Good read, stay safe !!
For civilian use, a turbo ‘T’ motor is the only way to go. For cops, you have a point about susceptibility to abuse. I don’t know how a turbo would fare under ‘cop’ conditions. Probably not so well and yes, expensive to replace.
