So now my NYC policeman I have Impalas, Crown Victorias, and now Chargers, looks like i'll need a GS 450h to run away from them. Looks pretty cool.

From what I read, only the highway units may get more of the hemi chargers. The regular radio cars will have the 6 cylinder engine.

Word, LOL I just feel bad for all the guys that went and bought a Charger. Then again I'll never understand dudes that roll around in black Impalas trying to look like Dectetives. I hate that at night especially on the FDR or West Side Highway. Overall the the new radio cars do look cool.

That vehicle looks great!

Why do all of you think the Crown Vics are such 'slow' cars? They can surely hold their own!

Crown Vics are underrated, they may not be the fastest 0-60, but they have plenty of torque that is available in every gear and they pull very hard and despite having primitive syspension and horrible weight distribution, they happen to have awesome handling. Not to mention they have bullet proof reliability and they are virtually undestructable. I think the Crown Vic is the only decent American sedan being built these days. The chargers on the other hand are flimzy POS.
