What's wrong with this picture?

I originally wanted to post this in a somewhat old thread, but it would've just given it away.

So, anyone here able to see what's wrong with this pic?

There's something on the dashboard, kind of a radio or a scanner/radar... there's also something that looks like a camera stuck on the window on the driver's side.

It's parked in what looks like a police station (you can see the reflections of a police vehicle on the side of the Corvette), so I'm guessing it's been turned into an unmarked police car?

Seems like Wake County are having fun with a (possibly confiscated) Z06. Or they have a lot of budget for phantom police cars.

It shows a Ford, a GM and a Chrysler product. Highly unusual these days.

lol. Chances are I'm blind or slow, or both. I can't see what's wrong with the picture.

I see an ambulance reflection, but no police car. I remember when I was in high school, a state trooper came to talk to our class, and he was driving a Camaro SS highway cruiser...everybody was more interested in his car than anything else he had to say.

David got it right. It is, in fact, an unmarked police car. Story goes that it was seized in a drug bust, and then got turned into a high speed pursuit car as well as ordinary patrol car.

most of the fart canned Fast & Bicurious street racers have either lost their cars or been arrested, so the ones left are the high horsepower, +500whp "Mexico" cars. With the Wake PD Chargers topping out at around 150mph, it was only a matter of time before they got something faster.

Cool stuff.

This Vette has nothing on what I once saw- a NY Taxi undercover Police car.

I noticed a taxi once do a U turn, and eventually it put strobes on and then I heard the siren. Surprised me for sure, even more than this Z06 would.

I think it's the surprise factor.

Yeah I almost didn't know what to do with myself when I saw one of those in my rear view mirror the other night. It's just not... normal?

Yeah, you'd expect a brown guy in the drivers seat, not a fat Italian guy.

Just kidding, but it's certainly not something you'd expect.
