    ^ Is it a H.O. V6, or a V8 "Hemi?"

    The both look bad-ass, but the latter actually has the goods under the hood. 8)

    After seeing the lastest round of Motor Trend test results, I'd like to have a go at one around a track on on the strip (and yes, before anyone laughs at me, there truly are these types of publicity/community-relations events at various venues nation-wide). My LGT is currently at the level of stock EVOs and STIs - should be an interesting match-up.

    Stock STi = 300 HP, correct? It will spank the Hemi unless it's an SRT8, which is not found in police package.

    Also a lot of the police chargers are HO V6, about 250 HP. Well, at least it's faster than a Crown Vic.

    I've seen one already. First time I saw one was March 12th.

    Correct on all counts, bruddah - the Motor Trend article made this quite clear, but I'd still like to take one on at such a sanctioned event to see how my more "family oriented" ride might fare.



    Besides, that Britax Marathon baby-seat (and her stroller) I'm hauling around weighs a ton.

    Also a lot of the police chargers are HO V6, about 250 HP. Well, at least it's faster than a Crown Vic.
    Again, totally agreed. If I were an LEO driving around in a cruiser, I'd take the Charger - even with the HO V6 - any day!

    Haven't seen the undercover VSP charger, but have seen the marked ones.
