HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - The Huntsville Police Department got a new toy on Tuesday- one that will keep you and your family safer while on the road ways.

The Ford Mustang was donated by Woody Anderson Ford, with all of the bells and whistles. It's valued at $60,000.

The shiny new wheels are designed for speed. "It has to be pretty fast because when a car is doing 90 mph, it's hard to catch them. They have a quarter mile jump on you," said Police Chief Mark McMurray.

But not anymore, the white ford mustang will be able to catch speeders.

"Under the hood is a five liter coyote Ford engine topped with a super charger," said Bobby White, General Manager for Woody Anderson Ford.

"It'll slow us all down because it's not going to miss catching us," Said Cathy Anderson, Owner of Woody Anderson Ford.

It’s being used exclusively on I-565. "Our interstates are where people are dying," said McMurray.

"Unfortunately there are people out here who do not obey the law. They speed, they don't wear their seatbelts and they put your lives at risk," said McMurray.

But now with a car that puts out 675 horse power, "You probably won't see it until we turn the lights on."

"Slow down or you're going to get a ticket," said White.

The mustang has sensors on the front and back to check the speed of up to four cars from a mile away.
