PPV Parts List

[SRG8]

I meant using the new VE center stack and not the current one we have.

I have read through the whole thread for the HVAC Controller, I will be buying one soon.

Hopefully the prices come out for this center stack soon.

Does the radio faceplate from the PPV plug into the g8 radio?

[matthewo]

so the alternator should bolt right in and plug up and work the same way as the original alternator? just a good upgrade for the future.

I would be interested in the brakes for this... seems like they should have bigger brakes like it says the rotors are bigger.... wonder if they will have brembos? mutipiston calipers? fit our wheels? hmmmm

[p71]

I'm 99% sure they are actually going to look like these
Attachment 10037
9C1 Police Car

Attachment 10038
9C1 Undercover Car (not sure on this one since the pic is RHD)

What kind of idiot designs an undercover version of a car that only the police can buy...

It makes as much sense as having an undercover cop open carry and pin is badge to his hat.

From what I see the brakes are not Brembo, just a larger cast version.

That is funny. I never thought about it like that.

LOL yeah GM is once again making another (in a long string of them) mistake when deciding on "ONLY FOR LEO" status of the this vehicle. Seriously, how many "undercover" versions will GM sell to off set the cost of design and bringing them over to the states? GM wake the F' up already!!!

See any sort of laptop mount yet Greg?

They're called undercover cars as that's the term for pursuit rated non-patrol vehicles. They are used by detectives, administration & other government uses where you aren't going to transport prisoners, lightbars, cages, switch boxes, etc (& don't want to be driving around in black/white marked car. They have a decent rear seats & interiors, rather than ones designed for prisoners. We purchase as many of those as we do patrol cars. So it's common sense to do that & pretty much doubles the amount of vehicles they can sell. Those cars also hold more resale value for departments. They aren't used for undercover work as you think. Narcotics & such use leased vehicles of all types for that type of work. That way you can get different cars all of the time to keep them from being burned. Believe me, criminals aren't the brightest. It's amazing how just driving an unmarked squad (no markings or light bar), people don't notice you. I've been flipped off for going the speed limit & had people try to race me in the blacked out Charger. Mind you, it has tinted windows, but has lights & cage inside. Those are always amusing stops (at least for us).

@m1tankr.... you kind of made my point...

The blacked out charger, or the unmarked b4c or the p71 with out lights looks like a civilian vehicle and so does not stick out, and allows you to sit by the side of the road and catch speeders more efficiently, or blend into a crowd of vehicles on the highway, or allow you to park in a bad neighbor hood and leave without the car drawing the attention of being an unoccupied police car. The new 9C3 will still be spotted a mile away by anyone halfway observant...

If they are going after the P72 market, fine but that is the municipal vehicle market, not the undercover cop market, and requires slightly different upgrades.
