Thanks for mentioning it's the Holden Commodore from Australia. The Commodore was built between 1979 to 2017 in Australia. After that for a few years it was imported from Opel Germany, but was discontinued after Holden was completely discontinued as a company. Thanks GM.
I've actually had this real life experience. A California Highway Patrol was spinning donuts in his Crown Vic for like five minutes in a Bed, Bath, and Beyond parking lot at 2am. I was like... did someone steal that and they're joyriding it now? So I called the local PD to come out and take a peak. Turns out the CHP had a ride along with him and just wanted to show off for his butt buddy. Always kinda pissed me off actually because we all know that if that same CHP caught a private citizen doing the exact same thing in the exact same place, they'd likely arrest them and tow their car. CHP isn't exactly known for being generous with citations. But because he's a state employee he gets to be impervious to the very law he enforces on everyone else? Seems legit.
In 24 years of service, this was my favorite cruiser. It was never in full use by many police departments so the public don’t readily recognize it as such. The ones we had had utilized the center console shifter. The best way to describe it is a four door corvette.
I own one of these in Australia; a '17 Holden Caprice WN Series 2 with the 6.2L LS3 under the hood. Over here they were sold as a luxury sports limo (the cops used the shorter-wheelbase SS Commodores for pursuit vehicles) and were fitted out with full leather & suede interior and all the bells & whistles and options technology-wise. As a daily driver it's a big & comfortable lazy land yacht cruising around town however when you plant your right foot it immediately transforms [as you rightly said] into a 4-door Corvette with all it's snarling, neck-snapping LS3 V8 goodness.
this model in certain market(china and australia)is actually made to compete with the likes of BMW 7 series and Mercedes S class alike,tho the price is lower than those product,much like the newer Cadillac CT6.
Bro real talk, the cops in my town drive so fast and reckless and NEVER use their turn signals. They abuse their powers because they know no one will pull them over. We need to defund the police!
@@devinthierault don’t think it would matter. for cannonball you’re usually going like 130 the entire trip… too high i beleive for cylinder deactivation to happen
@@htowndct832 the gearing in my impala ss had it in 4 cylinder mode at 120. I believe it usually hits 100 in 2nd gear if wot. Either way though 4th gear lockout disables it. Even with deactivation with a tune the lifters can still fail and chew the camshaft up.
My biggest LE pet peeve was always seeing folks drive around with the spotlight facing forward, up, sideways or backwards. I always keep them facing the windshield to avoid weathering/chips and damage. And the handle stays horizontal so you can see.
I owned 4 of these in the Middle East, and I had a Lumina LTZ built from Holden as well. Such amazing, comfortable, spacious and powerful cars. They are so extremely popular there, with the majority favoring Caprices over Ford Crown Vic's.

This car is like a more low-key, slightly less powerful Chevy SS. It's what the Crown Vic was in it's day. Just unibody, faster, better handling, and WAY more tunable!
It's crazy that those cars don't look very intimidating like the real Caprice or Ford Crown Victoria, but they sure as heck outperform them and even the current Dodge Charger cop cars thanks to that unusual engine!
Not all the Caprice units came with the column shifter. The V6 model(300hp), mine, has the counsel shifter. I was surprised to see the faster model didn't have that.

In KSA this car is called Caprice, it comes with a 6.0 litre engine naturally aspirated. It's a pretty good car for tuning lol.
Nothing I want more than this. Rock solid, can take a beating, fast, lots of torque, 4 doors, RWD, and no unnecessary features inside.

Search up Holden Commodore V8 exhaust and you'll find videos... They sound mint!
Damn, this seems like a great deal if you can find one that isn't beat to pieces...and also don't mind V8 mpg.

Oh. My. God. Like another person said, this would be an *awesome* Cannonball car. I mean, someone should really consider this. I can't wait to see it.
The best part of these for me is that the Holden Commodore/Chevy SS is gone, and these make excellent replacements.
These are gone as well. They stopped making them the same time they stopped making the Holden Commodore as they were made in the same factory.
