Saw a sheriff's car today at an accident scene. It was a new Dodge Charger. Lot cooler thn the Crown Vic. Now I wonder if it had the hemi in it?

I've seen cops in newer model Camaros, PT cruisers (Sheriff), and newer Impalas. Our city cops (Piqua, OH) have a Dodge Durango, Ford Expedition, Chevy Blazer, plus the typical police cars...sucked too...I was out four-wheeling on the roads after a snowstorm (figured they'd never have a chance at catching me with the roads as bad as they were) and it was just my luck that I passed one of the cops in a 4x4 SUV. Ha.

Not this one as it didn't have the hood scoop on it that the SRT-8 chargers have. Wonder why the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum SRT-8s don't have the scoops?

It wouldn't in my area - around here, sheriffs work in the prison system, and are not generally involved in any kind of persuit.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

The police cars in Lk. Jackson, TX., (S. of Houston), are hemi chargers. I know they have one for sure, my friends husband brought it by the E.R. where I work.

Our town has about 4 chargers. I talked to the sherif here and he said the newbies drive the 3.5 chargers, and the 2 almost retired officers drive the hemis. So they put either engine in them.


Old setup: 1/4 mile on old setup: 13.965 @ 100.10 MPH, Crappy 2.236 60' on street tires
Mods: Paxton NOVI 2000 supercharger @ 10 #'s, M1 4Bbl, F&B 58mm TB, Gibson headers, JBA Y-pipe, and a Locker

I read about this in a magazine about a year and a half ago. I heard it was going to be a basic Charger, with 6.1L Hemi thrown in. Personalized for the po-po.

So you don't think they can be helpful to possibly injured people in an accident ? I do wish they'd spend more time fighting real crime than hasseling motorists though - if that's what you meant.

Philly PD is using Hemi chargers for highway traffic enforcement now too. It's funny, when all they had was Crown Vics, impala's and Explorers traffic enforcement on the major highways I95 and 76 was never worth their time. Now all of a sudden they take delivery of a whole fleet of 06 Chargers and you see those things sitting by the sides of the road all the time.

Several counties/cities have the magnum's and chargers. I just some in my home town in Indiana and have been seeing them around the Atlanta area for months.

Here's some of my favorites I've seen:

tow truck - with blue/red light bar painted yellow like DOT but also has state police logo on the side.

marked corvette complete with light bar.

camero complete with 2 stage nitrous (confiscated from drug dealer)

jeep cherokees, dodge dakotas, ford F150s, chevy silvarados. Some marked and some unmarked.

my personal favorite an original hummer (also confiscated from a drug dealer) complete with light bar and logo.

On the Hemi Chargers... should be good in pursuits but I am highly interested to see how that lowered sport susponsion holds up when they start jumping lots of curbs.
