My first car was a bit similar, an ex-police Plymouth Gran Fury with a 440ci engine. I wound up having to talk to a police officer and later a judge about it when I was 17. Sadly I don't still have any photos of my car, but here's one from allpar.com:

Would that happen to be related to the fact that those big bruiser Furys were one the fastest American cars of the late 1970s?
LAPD are currently testing 2 Tesla Model S P85D Police Interceptors alongside some BMW i3's
Due to the high cost of the cars it will probably be a while before they see everyday use but the LAPD has seen it's potential.
I'd be pretty pissed if my local police force were dropping a hundred grand on a luxury sedan regardless of the potential.

Maybe a bit, even if it was a decade later when I was driving it. You know you're in trouble when Highway Patrol attempts to do a 180 to come after you. He didn't quite pull it off, though, so I stopped to wait for him, although part of my brain was yelling, "Go!" During the conversation, he looked over the car and asked, "What is this?" When I told him he whistled, said they didn't have anything like them now, and I could have easily gotten away from him. Anyway, some time later I was able to plea down to keep my license.

Toyota Century is so cool...
What I think is a Toyota Crown. You can see the Emperor's Century Royal in the background.

I was letting a friend drive my car one afternoon after meeting for lunch. He has a C3 Corvette and I have the C6 in my avatar. An Everett, Washington city car was a Dodge Charger. He didn't ticket us, just talked a little. When he pulled out he spun his tires getting up to speed on the roadway. I think the newer cars with more HP are being enjoyed a little more than the older average city cars.
Unfortunately most of the State Police in Oregon and Washington are SUV's with very trim light bars now. They look like an SUV with a roof rack is all, so they blend in really well with all the other SUV's on the road.
I am also seeing a lot more ex-police cars on the road that look like they could be current. As I approach them I am cautious, thinking I don't want a ticket. As I get up closer I see it's an older beat up POS and get back up to speed
