We're starting to see more and more of the Chargers here locally driven by the State Hwy. Patrol. They sure are sharp looking.

200mph is not easy... especially driving a non aerodynamic brick.
Id believe it if i saw it.. until then.. haha

My department is switching the fleet from Crown Vics to Chargers. We use the Magnum's for transports. I am going to get a Durango when I move over to Civil in June.

I concur. I've been on some machines with the best power-weight ratio's in the world that don't even do 200.

I dislike driving the Dodge Chargers, but I love the way they look.

The Dodge Chargers have very poor visibility. Tiny back window, huge blind spots, small windows all the way around. They are the best looking police vehicle out there and they look mean as hell with push bars and LED lights, but driving them sort of sucks. They seem to be rear-heavy too. Easy to spin out.

I do like the Ford CVPI a lot though. It's probably the best all-around police package vehicle out there. Well, now that they don't blow up when rear-ended.

Tengu, I agree. I really don't care for the Chargers. And should you have a flat tire, someone has to go get a tire from the office and bring it out to you.

I'm just happy to be getting a Durango. Ours are pretty dang sharp.

I suspect Tengu, like me knows a _lot_ about flat tires! Inside joke, he knows what I mean.
