Also in the Portland area are 2005-2010 Mustangs that have no front or rear markings, but have very subtle side "Police" ID's that are usually parked on the side of the road with a LIDAR/RADAR gun pointed at you. There are also are least two 2010/11 Mustangs that have been prepped as persuit cars that are scary fast.
If the street racer challenged an unmarked, I would say it is a very safe bet that it was an unmarked "performance" car like a Charger, Mustang, Camaro or Challenger.

I'm going to have to go find one of them bait cars...LOL I've seen Volvo's in WA state that surprised me was an unmarked... They are getting tricky no doubt but if the officer instigates the race isn't that entrapment or something like that?
I had a cop fail to get out of the passing lane so I passed him on the right and he of course pulled me over and asked if I was a wise guy. I asked him if he wanted to be written up for failure to yield... That was that no ticket.
