Its an Automatic Mustang GT… not a GT500… GT500’s don’t come with automatic transmissions Meshari.

So when i modify my Mustang its illegal, but if your a cop its legal for u to do whatever you want? This is not gonna go down well for cops and for the MOI public relations… Serious abuse of power.

The Dodge Charger had reliability problems with the breaks, i heard they sacked those.

Ok, so people are making rules up by them selves, FIRST of all, this Mustang is modified, so Bader pay attention. the pictures on the website shows that it has a supercharger.

And most of you forgot something, this could be a Ford Shelby Mustang GT500, i’m saying maybe, though i think from the steering wheel that this is the Mustang GT, both cars are not worth the trust when it comes to stability, saw it before a few days after midnight at Damascus street,,, was the “red line” to me for getting a Shelby, American’s cars are no friend for stability, i saw a Brand new cobra upside down on the grass in between both roads.

As i know, the already took the Dodge, as my friend’s dad work in sales dept., some friend i saw today said that he saw the Audi in Mishref, though i heard that they didn’t take it.

Its an automatic!!!

its probably just a stunt like the UAE and thier fire fighting Corvette… it would look bad ass in black and white tho… kinda like baracade from transformers…

Holla, dont dis the live rear axil unless uve driven one, and if u couldnt handle it maybe there is something wrong with ur driving because contrary to popular belief in Kuwait, mustangs have a tonne of grip around corners and average 0.89g cornering, around the same as a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX and Subi STi impreza… Plus with a live rear axil, u can launch at higher RPMs with more torque and not risk blowing your rear end, its old and cheap but it works and keeps going forever

dont believe everything you see this is a way to start a conversation with girls in the street when a cop asks a girl to pull over he will start talking to her and then she will ask him if that the police force will be driving on of these soon and then he will tell her its a long story we can talk it over the phone or the police are trying to convey a message to the citizien join the force and you will be driving one of these soon because as we notice the population in kuwait is increasing they need more kuwaities to join the force and if this is true not all of the police force will be driving the mustang only the people with was6a or with high ranks.

That is just stupid.

I’d have to agree with Desert girl AlWazzan must have serious connections with the government or super hypnotize`n skills to be able to convince them a mustang can catch a super car or is in anyway beneficial to the police force.

just imagine a body builder chasing a sprinter that’s just plain old stupid, though it would look real funny.

An rs4 or an M5 i can buy that but a mustang come on …. and i’d really really rather not see police chasing fast cars its too dangerous just call in for a road block or use a helicopter.

Lakers ALL THE WAY !!!

The normal Ford Mustang was one of the most unstable sports cars ive ever driven.. i would advise you to get it if you like burnouts and donuts, but chasing youngsters at high speeds in a 500hp version !!!! ill be waiting to see this car bil sikrab this winter!

They seriously don’t need anything else to boost their “cool” factor!

I hate the idea of cops

a mustang? as a cop? LoL !! more 3agad wanna join the force bc of this!

LOL, If they are serious about catching a supercar on the run then they really need a helicopter. It’s a lot safer and has a much better chance of success. A Mustang hurtling round the busy streets at 150mph is recipe for disaster in my book. Would look cool though!

So.. Can Lebanese people join the Kuwaiti police force? XD

California Highway Patrol used to use Mustangs and Cameros.

Statistically speaking, high speed chases usually end in the death of innocent people rather than the capture of criminals. So, yes, of course, it would make sense for the Kuwaiti police to engage in that type of activity - rather than allowing officers to enforce the law - say by allowing them to brandish weapons at suspects. Cops here can’t even take out their guns without permission.

I’m wondering how many Mustangs they are going to wreck in the process (how many cops will race them?). Why not buy police helicopters instead of chase vehicles?

But hey Al-Wazzan family - NICE marketing! Congratulations on that contract win. Cha CHING.

The problem with any smaller police vehicle (like BMW, Mustang or whatever) isn’t so much the back seat (you can call for another transport car), but the fact that you can’t do paperwork in it while you have a passenger in the other seat. If you have a computer in the car (laptop on the seat or dash-mount), it is impossible to have someone seated there. Most Kuwaiti details are 2-to-a-car.
