New Cop Car

2006 Chrystler Police car from RoatTest.comFor the 2006 model year, the pursuit-rated 5.7-liter Hemi version and the Hemi Charger sedan join the lineup. Rated at 340 hp and 390 lb-ft, it gives the Magnum/Charger a power-to-weight ratio of less than 12:1. (Crown Victoria: 16.5:1, Impala: 15:1.) This translates into 14.0 quarter mile times at 100 mph and a 146 mph governed top speed.

And it looks tough too. (click the image for a larger version)
I've asked cops about police cars. They all say they would rather have one that took a curb over one that took a corner. The description of the suspension on this vehicle makes it sound like plenty of thought went into it. (hat tip The Daily Brief)
