Normally these are not used, and shouldn't be, for enforcement. While its cool to showboat the seizing of vehicles from real criminals, I personally think cars like this should be sold. The funds should then be used to purchase real squads, equipment, new officers etc instead of using funds from the general revenue fund which comes from tax payers dollars. I know this is the case in many jurisdictions and the law is very specific/strict on what drug asset forfeiture money can be used on. But it doesn't keep our corrupt politicians from getting their hands on it somehow.

That looks so dumb with those wheels/tires. Lowered with splitter, skirts, spoiler, and that real aggressive hood....and crappy base C6 wheels, clearly not meant for the Z06 body & performance!
Worse yet, the car apparently has 1000hp! LOL.

I'll bet they changed the wheels to allow the car to go through the police carwash.

I see they employed the services of a blindfolded six-year-old to slap on a front license plate, too. Genius! The Texas Legislature is heavily beholden to lobbyists and not much from the will of the People actually ever gets done, but I continue to try and fight the front license plate requirement. Whatever bills that do get drafted and submitted never make it out of committee for some odd reason. I don't think those in charge of the top LE agencies in the State want to lose the ability to pull people over without a front plate and that's about it.
My take is fine, pull me over and run my registration and license, I have nothing to hide. I even offered to pay a small annual fee that would at least permit me to drive without a front plate and prevent me from being fined $200, and use the revenue to fund something like free/discounted tolls for disabled veterans. The fact that the Texas legislature "allows" for the Toll road authorities (that they approved minus voter approval) to waive tolls for disabled veterans but the majority of the tolling authorities patronize us all by disclaiminig "but they didn't appropriate State funds to defray the cost" is more than insulting. Especially when the toll roads are able to be tolled indefinitely, long after their "costs" have been recouped.

The car was seized from a drug dealer. This was a couple of years ago. It has a wrap now. It is fully built, 100k in the build. The carbon wheels were being repaired when they seized the Z. YSI, ERL ect.
