Police departments buying fast Ford Mustang GT to help catch high-speed drivers

As automakers have stepped away from muscle cars powered by big V8 engines, Ford Motor Co. remains the Last Man Standing with the Mustang GT. And police agencies have taken notice.

It's all about horsepower, baby.

After years of ordering the Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro, state patrol agencies in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina confirmed they're adding the 2024 Mustang GT to their fleets. And they're not the only law enforcement agencies doing so. Ford's competitors aren't building these muscle cars anymore.
