Hah! Not sure if it was Vic or NSW, but when they had old skool WRX's the motors were getting stuffed up coz they were putting 91RON in 'em... wouldn't even spring for 95 Premium, let alone 98.

Things like the Chrysler (and other exotics, several HSV's have been used over the years) are loaned to the police service by manufacturers for use in public relations, huggy feely-nicey exercises.

Holden haven't produced a supercharged V6 for a while, and to my knowledge the Supercharged 6's have never been used in police service in WA. Unless something has very recently changed, turbo charged or super charged vehicles were prohibited from use in the service and had been for some time, well before they dropped the V8's.

Police will most certainly chase you over 140, the driver needs to have been certified for the speeds, but don't think they just give up at that magic number sir, they most certainly do not.
