The Wasteland - ACT Style

[B-rice]

its the one with three lanes and they merge to two right at the top of the climb its like a long bridge sorta.

[gtr judd]

Yea that hill is called the dipper, they sit down the bottom and occasionally up the top, but far more often the bottom

I drive a truck, I have to be careful with that hill when I'm heading North, its easy to roll some speed up

it wasnt an R8

haha only never to get caught too. Its pretty damn tempting with a big stretch like that.

Nice im sure they have some tweaks atleast ECU or they have some serious skill. quick enough to catch some hektik boys in a Ferrari. But again I guess theyre seriously trained.

I'm actually really surprised they'd bother sitting up the top...I mean it's not often someone would manage to pull a decent speed UP that hill worthy of the cop's time sitting there.

[gtr judd]

Because they so frequently sit down the bottom people will look and see nothing then nail it, its still easy to sit on 130 + up it

Also the get people going North from the top too. Same With down the bottom

I read that they:

after a bit of googling the VE's are the same just have heavier duty suspension, brakes, alternators, batteries. engine wise you still have the same gutless 3.0lt v6, (or 3.6 depends how old they are)

I read that they:

Yeah my VT exec V8 is a Police line car.

Got a Bash plate, FE2 (SS) Suspension and an LSD

Thats it

If you have cruise on, you do exactly the same up as down I bump my cruise back cos I know they're always there... it's funny seeing people go around you and then hit the anchors as soon as they spot the police car lol.

I read that they:

HWP are usually SS or XR6 Turbo, so not quite as slow as a bog stock commodore. Have seen cops at the bottom of that hill in the past.

I was even driving a Nissan Patrol down there one day, and sitting on 110 exactly - the cop, hiding in the bushes at the bottom of the hill, gave me a dirty look, even though I'd done nothing wrong. Seems easier for NSW Police/Govt to just punish you when you've done wrong, rather than being visible and preventing accidents in the first place (by, say, oh I dunno... mandating defensive driver training)..

[Duncan]

^^^^ I second the dead stock comment. They are stock ss, xr6t, xr8.

Sydney have sweet cop cars. Unmarked typhoons and shit.

Does this stretch of road have bridges? And a wind sock up the top?

I drive to and from Sydney every day, I know there hidey holes

f**k you're keener than me, once a week is bad enough.

no point worrying about the cops....just set cruise to 113 and enjoy the scenery

I have been doing Canberra Sydney Canberra 5 days a week for the past 5 years lol, 3 years prior to that it was 3days a week lol.

I know that road very well

My truck is limited to 101, but I can roll up to 130 easily

Cruise in the Soarer ony lets me do 108

[StinkyPoo]

A cop used to live down the road from me a few years ago. He brought a XR6 Turbo and I had a quick look over it. Pretty much appeared standard except it was chipped by Unichip. It did seem the springs looked a little different but it could have been from the extra weight of the car (if any).

[B-rice]

whatever they do its pretty damn good to catch cars like Ferraris and BMWs. I saw an article where the U.S wanted to use Australian Pursuit cars to replace they're shitty ones.

[Got a Pulsar]

A mate of a mate, years ago bought an Ex Police Clubsport from Auction.

It was definately Not Stock.

I thought I heard somewhere that they Chip them, Maybe Head work and raise the Compression?

Also better handling mods.

[gtr judd]

I'll call one up over the radio tomorrow and ask him, they are usually a lot nicer then the local around town clowns

funny you should mention. the cima stops at 109 too....f**king annoying, I was seriously considering getting higher tyres.

the stagea cruise on the other hand seems to be happy to go to a million

anyway....what's all the love for modified commodores around here....no matter how much work they've done it won't count for more than 10% extra on stuff all which is still stuff all And my bet is there is nothing mechanical changed in the motors

[zebra]

There is nothing done to them.

You guys just underestimate how quick a 6l commodore or a current xr6t

[Sinista32]

Driven like Rentals - therefore fastest cars in the world
