Default NC SHP trooper in unmarked Grey C6

Driving from Raleigh to Charlotte yesterday a Cyber Grey C6 came flying up behind me in the fast lane, then switched to the right lane and passed me. A quarter mile ahead he pulled off onto the shoulder behind a breakdown vehicle. When I passed him I saw the red/blue lights flashing on the dash. This was in the Salisbury area. BOLO.

They have/had a black C6Z06 as well. Glad to see they are putting these cars to good use.

It would be a honor to be stopped by another Vette!

The photo and car is 2012, but the POPO still has the tag. Saw it Monday (6/25) in Cary.

Is that car black or grey? Hard to tell from the photo.

That black C6Z is actually a Wake County Sheriff, not State.. Wonder how many tires he has went through since they started using it.

I've seen the Wake County Sheriff's Z06 up close and personal. Cool car for any Sheriff's Department to have. If you haven't seen the Top Gear video about it and the ensuing chase scene, you need to check it out. Click on the link below, scroll down and click on "watch the full video". Be sure to have your sound on. Very cool - enjoy.

I wonder how the officer assigned to it enjoyed driving it on a day to day basis? We had a couple of high performance cars in our stable, but once the novelty wore off, the guys didn't much care to drive them.

The cars were uncomfortable because the seats and the officers' Sam Browne belts did not go well together. Service pistols, pepper spray, extra mags, cuffs, etc around the waist made the cars VERY uncomfortable. From an officer safety point of view, they were also very difficult to get out of quickly. Additionally, it was nearly impossible for an officer to throw his body sideways, across the seat in a worst case scenario.

In general, IMHO, they weren't good cars for LE work.

NC and SC have both had a long history of running unmarked vehicles, going back to the SSP Mustang days.

I picked this ex-SCHP 1999 B4C up back in early 2002:




Very stealthy, with only a single 800 mHz antenna in the left quarter. We actually purchased quite a few of these for resale when they were available.

Whoever was driving the Vette in Wake Forest is a lucky guy!
