Field Assessment
The VCPD patrol car is the Bravado Buffalo in police specification. The Charger pursuit package: the pursuit calibrated suspension, the police interceptor V8 output, and the light and siren package that makes the civilian Charger into the law enforcement tool.
In Vice City the Police Buffalo is everywhere. Tourist corridor patrol, response to incidents, and the pursuit vehicle that the protagonist manages the relationship with across the entire game. The Police Buffalo is the first consequence of a wanted star in Vice City.
The performance advantage over the civilian Buffalo is the pursuit calibration. The police interceptor specification adds performance that the standard vehicle does not have. The Police Buffalo is faster than most of what it pursues.
