Default new Florida Highway Patrol car?

A couple of days ago driving south on I-95 I noticed a dark colored Mustang flying right by me. A few min later it flashed on lights and pulled a speeding Honda over! This mustang had all the makings of a street racer with a spoiler and a body kit? You would have never guessed this Mustang was a cop car. Has anyone else seen this car in the Daytona Beach/Volusia county area? Im curious to know the specs of this car.

Dude, are you sure it was a cop car! If I remember correcty all police cars including highway patrols are supposed to be visibly marked.

It definitly had the classic red and blue flashing cop lights. I didnt see the officer get out of the car because i had already drivent by. Another guy I work with up here in The daytona area has seen it also. Im not sure what year it is, but it was the body style previous to the '05 remodel.

I believe police are able to use any car the confiscate for legal porpouses. Basically i've heard of Lincoln Navigators, Escalades, Vette's, Camaro's.. you name it. They prolly got it from a drug bust or something and decided this is too much fun to let go.
